Corneal eye disease, which affects more than 10 million people worldwide, is the fourth most common cause of blindness after cataracts, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration. Thus, corneal implants are widely being adopted in order to treat patients with corneal eye diseases. Corneal implants offer several advantages such as improved vision, faster visual recovery, and lower risk of rejection which is expected to propel the growth of the market in the coming years. Furthermore, increase in preference for minimally invasive treatments, as well as growing awareness of corneal transplants will positively boost industry over the next few years.  Increase in geriatric patient pool susceptible to ophthalmic disorders will further fuel the growth of the market in the future.

The global corneal implants market has been segmented based on type, transplant type, application, end-users, and region. Based on type, the global corneal implants market is categorized into human cornea and synthetic. Human cornea segment held substantial share of the market in 2019. On the basis of transplant type, the global corneal implants market is segmented into penetrating keratoplasty, and endothelial keratoplasty. Endothelial keratoplasty segment is anticipated to grow at a significant rate over the coming few years owing to benefits offered over penetrating keratoplasty. Moreover, increase in prevalence of Fuchs' dystrophy and other endothelial disorders of the cornea has made endothelial keratoplasty a preferred option for patients.

Application-wise, the global corneal implants market is segregated into Fuchs’ dystrophy, keratoconus, fungal keratitis, and others. Rapid rise in prevalence of Fuchs’ dystrophy along with growing awareness for early diagnosis will propel growth of the segment in the coming years.
