Wireless Intraocular Pressure Monitor Market to Reach $305 Million by 2031 with 7.4% CAGR
The global market for Wireless Intraocular Pressure Monitors is experiencing steady growth, driven by rising demand for continuous, non-invasive glaucoma monitoring and the increasing adoption of smart medical devices. According to the latest 2025 market report by QYResearch, the Wireless IOP Monitor market was valued at approximately USD 185 million in 2024 and is forecast to reach USD 305 million by 2031, reflecting a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4% over the 2025–2031 period.
Key Companies and Innovations
Major players in the Wireless IOP Monitor space include Sensimed AG, iCare Finland Oy, Triggerfish, Konan Medical, OCULUS Optikgeräte GmbH, Reichert Technologies, Topcon Corporation, Nidek Co., Ltd., Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Heidelberg Engineering GmbH, Medtronic, Bausch + Lomb, Canon Medical Systems, Ellex Medical Lasers, and Haag-Streit Group. In 2024, the top five global manufacturers held a significant but unspecified portion of the market by revenue.
One of the most notable innovations came from Injectsense, which announced in late 2024 the first successful human implantation of its IOP-Connect™ wireless pressure sensor. The sensor, only a few millimeters in size, allows for continuous 24/7 intraocular pressure monitoring without patient intervention and is expected to lead future advancements in smart ophthalmic implants. The company also plans to integrate its system with wearable recharging glasses and mobile apps for seamless data transmission and analysis.

Market Trends and Regional Insights
Technology Innovation Driving Demand
The increasing prevalence of glaucoma—affecting over 76 million people globally as of 2024—continues to be a key driver for the wireless intraocular pressure (IOP) monitor market. According to the World Health Organization and peer-reviewed studies, this number is expected to reach 111.8 million by 2040, particularly in Asia and Africa. As a result, demand for continuous IOP monitoring solutions is accelerating, with wearable and implantable technologies offering more convenient and accurate long-term pressure measurements.
One of the most significant technological developments came in early 2025 from researchers publishing in Nature Microsystems & Nanoengineering, where they introduced a novel bimodal smart contact lens. This lens integrates wireless biosensors and eye-movement tracking, enabling real-time monitoring of intraocular pressure even while patients are asleep. Such solutions offer revolutionary benefits over traditional tonometry, which relies on infrequent, manual measurements.
Regional Market Trends
North America continues to dominate the wireless IOP monitoring market, driven by robust healthcare spending, high awareness of glaucoma risks, and early adoption of medical wearables. In 2024 alone, the U.S. accounted for an estimated 38% of global IOP device revenue. The strong presence of companies like Sensimed AG (now with expanded U.S. operations) and partnerships between med-tech firms and academic hospitals have strengthened this position.
Europe is following closely, particularly in countries such as Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. Government-backed innovation funds and a growing elderly population are fueling R&D and deployment of smart ophthalmic devices. Regulatory clarity from CE certification for digital health devices has also encouraged new entrants.
Asia-Pacific is emerging as the fastest-growing market segment, with China, Japan, and South Korea leading in adoption and local production. China's IOP device market is projected to grow at over 9% CAGR during 2025–2031, supported by government initiatives like “Healthy China 2030” and rapid urbanization. Companies in Japan are also focusing on AI-integrated tonometers for remote clinics, addressing aging demographics and rural healthcare gaps.
Future Outlook
From 2025 onward, regional expansion and technology convergence will define the wireless IOP monitor industry. Cloud-connected biosensors, AI diagnostics, and energy-autonomous smart lenses are among the most anticipated developments. Additionally, collaborations between ophthalmology research institutions and med-tech companies will drive regulatory breakthroughs and increase accessibility across income brackets.
The global IOP monitor market is expected to transition from standalone clinical devices to integrated digital health ecosystems, offering predictive analytics and patient-centric monitoring as standard. With glaucoma being the second leading cause of blindness worldwide, such innovations are not just market opportunities—they are medical necessities.
