Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices are medical tools designed to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucoma patients using less invasive techniques compared to traditional glaucoma surgeries. These devices aim to reduce complications, shorten recovery times, and improve patient outcomes by providing a safer, less invasive surgical option for managing glaucoma.
The main types of MIGS devices include valves, glaucoma drainage implants, glaucoma tube shunts, stents, and others. A glaucoma drainage implant, also known as an aqueous shunt or tube shunt, is a small device surgically placed in the eye to treat glaucoma. These devices are used in various surgeries, such as those for glaucoma combined with cataracts or stand-alone glaucoma procedures, targeting areas such as the trabecular meshwork and suprachoroidal space. They are distributed through various channels, including direct tender and retail sales, and are utilized by end users such as ophthalmology clinics and ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs).
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp increase in U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the medical equipment sector, especially for imported components used in imaging machines, surgical-grade stainless steel, and disposable plastics. With hospitals and clinics pushing back against price increases, manufacturers are facing margin pressure. The situation is further complicated by regulatory challenges, as switching suppliers due to tariffs often necessitates re-certification of medical devices, leading to delays in market entry. In response, companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing key components, ramping up domestic production of standardized items, and accelerating research into more cost-effective materials.
The minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices market statistics, including minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices market share, detailed minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices industry. This minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (migs) devices market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $0.7 billion in 2024 to $0.89 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased awareness for the prevention of blindness, increased investments in healthcare infrastructure, increased patient awareness surrounding advanced corrective vision treatments, rise in awareness surrounding advanced corrective vision treatments, increased government initiatives.
The minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (migs) devices market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.29 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing prevalence of eye disorders like glaucoma, rise in geriatric population, growing healthcare infrastructure, growing need for safer and more efficient treatment. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of MIGS devices, advancements in technology, development of innovative minimally invasive glaucoma surgery devices, development of advanced implantable devices, advances in ophthalmic technology.
The forecast of 26.5% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 1.6% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through supply chain disruptions for micro-stents manufactured in Israel, potentially delaying treatment options for glaucoma patients and increasing ophthalmic surgery costs.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The increasing prevalence of eye disorders is anticipated to drive the growth of minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices in the future. Eye disorders cover a wide range of conditions affecting the eyes and vision, with their prevalence rising due to lifestyle changes, environmental factors, and aging populations. MIGS devices are innovative tools used to manage various eye diseases, primarily by reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) to prevent or control the progression of glaucoma. For example, according to the National Eye Institute, a US-based government agency, approximately 2.2 million Americans will be blind or partially blind by 2030. Consequently, the growing prevalence of eye disorders is propelling the MIGS devices market.
Leading companies in the MIGS devices market are focused on developing innovative products, such as stent injectable systems, to address unmet needs in glaucoma management and enhance patient outcomes. A stent injectable system is a MIGS device that delivers and implants a small stent into the body through an injection-like procedure, typically using a specialized delivery mechanism commonly employed in minimally invasive surgeries to treat conditions such as blocked or narrowed blood vessels. For instance, in August 2022, Glaukos Corporation, a US-based ophthalmic medical technology company, received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the iStent Infinite Trabecular Micro-Bypass System. The iStent Infinite is a novel three-stent injectable system designed to provide foundational, 24/7 IOP control for patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) whose IOP remains uncontrolled despite prior medication and surgical therapy.
In July 2024, Alcon Inc., a Switzerland-based medical device company, acquired BELKIN Vision Inc. for $81 million. This strategic acquisition is intended to boost the global adoption of Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT) as a first-line treatment for glaucoma. BELKIN Vision Inc., an Israel-based medical device company, specializes in developing and manufacturing laser therapy devices for glaucoma treatment.
