The global orthokeratology lens market size is expected to reach USD 1,084.7 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.7% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing efforts by key manufacturers in the market to launch new products and get regulatory approvals is the key factor driving the market growth. In addition, the ever-growing burden of patients with refractive errors is also majorly contributing to the growth of the market. For instance, according to a recent study published by The International Myopia Institute in 2022, an estimated 30% of the world's population is myopic and by 2050, almost 50% of the population will be myopic. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the market.
The drop in sales of orthokeratology was due to reduced patient visits to the hospitals and clinics to comply with the restrictions and guidelines laid down by the governments to curb the spread of the virus. Moreover, the country-wise lockdowns resulted in the disruption of demand and supply chain, which negatively impacted the market growth. However, with the outbreak of the pandemic, a major shift has been observed where a large number of people are now more prone to develop refractive errors. The shift toward online school and a large number of companies opting for work-from-home is expected to increase the overall screen time of individuals, thereby contributing to the rise in refractive errors. Thus, it can be anticipated that over the forecast years, the market will undergo significant growth.
