Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

According to Coherent Market Insights, the global medical fiber optics market was valued at US$ 1,039.5 million in 2018 and is projected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.1% over the forecast period (2019 – 2027).

Key trends and analysis of the global medical fiber optics market:

Growing use of medical fiber optics in minor and major surgeries have majorly driven the global medical fiber optics market. The market has been on growth due to various technological up gradations in the medical gears, which have resulted in reduction in their sizes. The global medical optical fiber market growth is driven due to the increasing demand for further advanced technologies and rapid development in the fiber technology section. The most noteworthy and predominant applications of fiber optics in medicine are in imaging and illumination components of endoscopes.

Among fiber type, silica fiber segment is expected to exhibit the highest CAGR of 6.0% over the forecast period and is expected to generate a revenue of US$ 834.6 Mn in 2027, owing to rising demand for silica medical fiber optics in medical fields. Silica has a wide wavelength range with decent optical transparency. In the near-infrared spectral area, particularly around 1.5 μm wavelength such properties are boosting the use of silica optical fiber.
