According to a research report published by Spherical Insights & Consulting, the UK Electroretinogram Market Size is anticipated to reach USD 99.5 million by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 8.2% from 2025 to 2035. The electroretinogram (ERG) market growth is driven by rising prevalence of retinal disorders, advancements in diagnostic technologies, increasing geriatric population, and growing awareness about early detection of eye diseases in the UK.

Market Overview

The UK electroretinogram market refers to a diagnostic test that measures the retina's electrical response to light, indicating the photoreceptor and inner retinal function. It is a non-invasive test that is quite useful in diagnosing retinal disorders such as retinitis pigmentosa and diabetic retinopathy. With an increasing prevalence of retinal disease, the ERG is an important tool in clinical diagnosis and in research. Electroretinogram needs are driven by the continual innovation in products and the increasing number of ophthalmic clinics and research facilities. Other factors supporting market growth include the forecast increase in the incidence of eye diseases that require testing for diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, retinitis pigmentosa, macular degeneration, and cone-rod dystrophy. The market has the potential to grow because of several factors, such as an ageing population, increased screen time during the pandemic, and a trend of diagnosing disease earlier. The UK market for electroretinograms is growing rapidly based on increased periods of screen usage by the population. Research conducted by the Independent UK concluded that British citizens spent more time daily using social media. The excessive use of screens with pre-existing vision problems increases the risk of digital eye strain. As a result, the need for effective diagnostic equipment, such as electroretinograms, to identify or manage these vision-related issues will rise.

Driving Factors

The rising prevalence of eye disorders such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and retinitis pigmentosa is driving growth in the electroretinogram market. New technologies, such as multi-focal and portable ERG systems, have improved sensitivity, accuracy, and accessibility, paving the way for comprehensive retinal assessments in remote places. As more people become aware of the complications of eye health and the benefits of early diagnosis, recognized via ERG testing, demand increases. All components present a situation supporting the growing usage of ERG in clinical practice in the UK.

Restraining Factors

Electroretinogram devices are costly, keeping the market from expanding and limiting retinal diagnostics, especially for low-resource settings and smaller clinics. The high cost of advanced electroretinogram devices limits widespread access, particularly in developing areas. The cost and insurance coverage limit patient access and, therefore, the regular use of a valuable diagnostic tool in patients. These factors hamper the electroretinogram market during the forecast period.

Market Segmentation

The United Kingdom electroretinogram market share is classified into type and application.

• The full-field flash ERG segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

The United Kingdom electroretinogram market is segmented by type into full-field flash ERG, pattern ERG, and multifocal ERG. Among these, the full-field flash ERG segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The full-field flash ERG is the most accurate and popular technique, as it assesses retinal function in the UK, can differentiate between cell types, can assess differences between eyes for right versus left comparisons, and may assess function at a range from systemic anomalies to severe degeneration functional differences. The segment is expected to grow and become more popular as healthcare workers continue to prefer a full-field flash ERG assessment.

• The clinical diagnostic segment held the highest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.
