By GlobalDataOphthalmic Devices development activity: Advanced stage of development leads
Devices at an advanced stage of development (in clinical trials, in the approval process, already approved in Europe or the rest of the world) accounted for 45.9% of medical devices in 2021, compared with 46.58% in 2020. The number of devices at the In Approval stage inclined by 143% in 2021, when compared with 2020.
The In Approval stage is considered to be the period where the manufacturer is waiting for final approval from regulators, following completion of the required development steps.
A decrease in products awaiting approval would indicate less new products entering the market in the coming months, while an increase indicates more devices entering the market, posing a market share threat to existing marketed devices.
North America tops pipeline Ophthalmic Devices products activity
Comparing the number of pipeline Ophthalmic Devices products activity in different regions of the globe, North America held the top position (59%) during 2021, followed by Europe (25%), and Asia-Pacific (14%).
On a country level, the US had the most pipeline Ophthalmic Devices during the year, representing the largest share (59%) of Ophthalmic pipeline products. In second place was Singapore (8%), followed by Canada (6%).
New pipeline Ophthalmic medical devices: Expected to be approved by 2025
According to GlobalData, approximately 59% of pipeline Ophthalmic Devices in 2021 were expected to receive regulatory approval by the end of 2025. The leading categories for devices expected to receive regulatory approval by the end of 2025 was Contact Lenses, at 12% of devices. Differences in regulatory approval timelines reflect the stage of development for a device, the device complexity or risk categorization (or device class) or if there are changes in regulatory oversight.
TeleMedC Pte Ltd tops Ophthalmic Devices development in 2021
According to GlobalData, top ten medical device companies accounted for 36.13% of pipeline Ophthalmic Devices activity during 2021. The leading company for developing Ophthalmic Devices was TeleMedC Pte Ltd with 5.88%, followed by Beaver-Visitec International Inc at 5.04%.
Companies launching new medical devices are more likely to disrupt existing market share or are better able to defend existing share.
Company-developed pipeline products lead Ophthalmic Devices in development
Looking at the share of activity in terms of Ophthalmic pipeline products developers, company-developed pipeline products accounted for a 79% share of the Ophthalmic medical devices market, while institute-developed pipeline products held the remaining share.
