Global Contact Lenses Market is valued at approximately USD 10.45 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 6.5% over the forecast period 2024-2032. Contact lenses are medical devices placed on the film of tears that cover the surface of the eye, used to correct refractive errors and for therapeutic purposes. These lenses can be soft or hard, depending on their nature, comfort, and reusability, and are regulated by the U.S. FDA, requiring a prescription. The market growth is driven by the rising geriatric population and the increasing incidence of refractive disorders such as astigmatism, presbyopia, myopia, and hyperopia. As the global population ages, the demand for quality eye care rises, enhancing market growth.
Additionally, heightened awareness about eye health and supportive government initiatives create substantial growth opportunities for the market. For instance, the United Nations General Assembly's "Vision for Everyone" initiative aims to provide eye care to 1.1 billion people with preventable sight loss, addressing the social and economic impacts of vision loss and integrating eye care services into universal healthcare. Moreover, the market is experiencing robust growth due to increasing demand for daily disposable lenses, technological Innovations and new product launches present various lucrative opportunities over the forecast years. However, the COVID-19 pandemic initially hampered market growth due to business shutdowns and the suspension of non-urgent care facilities, including contact lens fittings. Furthermore, a shift towards eyeglasses to reduce infection risk further restricted contact lens adoption during the pandemic. Alternative treatment options for refractive errors, such as laser eye surgery, implantable lenses, and corneal inlays, pose a challenge to market growth.
The key regions considered for the Global Contact Lenses Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. North America is a dominating region in the Global Contact Lenses Market in terms of revenue. The market growth in the region is being attributed to factors including awareness regarding vision correction options and the high prevalence of refractive errors. Whereas, the market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to grow at the fastest rate over the forecast period fueled by increasing vision impairment cases, advanced diagnostic techniques, and rising disposable incomes.
