Custom FLM loupes users can re-customize the declination angle and adjust the field shape as they desire.

The global medical loupes market represents a fairly consolidated competition landscape, where majority of key players maintain their strategic focus on product innovation such as lightweight product manufacturing, increasing magnification power etc.

COVID-19 impact on demand for Medical Loupes Market

Flip Up Medical Loupes Hold Dominance with 61% Share in 2019

Surgical remains as the key attributor to the global medical loupes market among all applications. Medical loupes have been mostly used into surgical applications where enhanced view and correct postures act as critical factors for success.

Flip up medical loupes hold a major share in the global market owing to its multiple features such as customization of angle of declination of flips, flexibility of flips through up & down, lower prices as compared to TTL, and manual adjustment facility of pupillary distance of flips. Moreover, TTL has a serious disadvantage of fixed optical barrier which does not provide flexibility while talking to the patient. These factors act as the major driver for high sales of flip up loupes across the globe.

Technological Advancement of Medical Loupes to Spark Demand among Practitioners

Technology is the key factor which shapes the market. Technologically advanced products are continuously required in medical industry. Safe and high tech equipment can bring down the medical cost for the patients. Medical loupes are now far more advanced in terms of product weight, magnification power, larger viewing angle, high powered optics etc. Schultz Optical (USA), a manufacturer of medical loupes had introduced a dental surgical loupes which provides 25% larger viewing field than others, light weight and up to 5.5x magnification which makes the dental surgery much easy than earlier.

North America to Drive the Growth of Medical Loupes Market

North America is accounted as the leading region in the global medical loupes market in 2019 owing to high health consciousness among consumers, greater product knowledge the increasing number of hospitals in North America. As per The American Hospital Association, in 2018, there was around 12% increase in hospital numbers compared to 2017 and it reached to 6,210 in the same year. Moreover, major presence of top medical loupes players in U.S. also boost the medical loupes market.

How Growth will Unfold

Medical loupes have been recognized as one of the most important tool for practitioner, surgeons. Today, the number of surgeries are increasing at a rapid pace which requires safe & affordable technology and tools to perform. Increase in the number of minimally invasive surgeries is expected to boost the medical loupes market during the forecast period. Rise in body-shaping procedures have been seen as a new trend worldwide. Body shaping which includes non-invasive fat reduction as well as surgeries such as breast augmentations and liposuction.

 Liposuction surgery had the highest growth (5%) in 2018 as compared to 2017 while breast augmentation had (4%) and nose reshaping had (2%) growth in 2018. In 2017, U.S. had the largest number of plastic surgeons globally with 6,800 surgeons while Brazil had the second largest number of plastic surgeons with 5,500. Growth in surgeries worldwide required practitioners as well as medical equipment such as medical loupes.

Moreover, growing usage of medical loupes surgical applications generates demand for less FOV with more magnification lenses which in result, creates demand for Galilean lenses among practitioners. In addition to it, viewing microscopic detail, high magnification level, minimal weight, and short barrel are more correct in Galilean lenses which again accelerates demand for the same lenses.
