Carl Zeiss Meditec is one of the largest medical technology companies in the world and it operates in two segments: ophthalmic devices, or OPT, and microsurgery, or MCS.
Favorable industrywide trends, such as the aging population, an increasing prevalence of myopia, and a growing access to advanced healthcare across the globe, will act as tailwinds for Zeiss.
The US represents Zeiss’ second-largest market and the company’s limited portfolio of intraocular lenses and a weak presence in the surgical space in the region is further threatened by its competitors.
