The global plastic lens market size is expected to reach USD 9,378.47 million by 2032, according to a new study by Polaris market research. The report "Plastic Lens Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Type (Aspheric Lens, Spherical Lens, LED Lens, Sensor Lens, Diffractive Lens, Collimating Lens, Cylindrical Lens, and Others); By Application; By End User; By Region; Segment Forecast, 2019 - 2032" gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
The rapidly increasing product demand in various consumer electronics and healthcare and medical devices, growing technological advancements in optical technology including designs and materials, and their rising popularity over conventional glass lenses due to ability to be easily shaped or molded into different forms, are prominent factors influencing the demand and growth of the market.
Moreover, as the global population ages and eye-related issues become more prevalent at significant pace, the demand for eyewear and vision correction-related products increases, that encourages manufacturers to develop more innovative and advanced products, to cater to the rising demand for these products including plastic lenses.
For instance, in July 2023, Nidec Instruments, unveiled its newly developed plastic fish-eye lens equipped with a plastic lens and has same strength to the glass lenses and are likely to be adopted as outermost lens with enhanced surface hardness.
In the recent years, there has been a drastic shift towards the utilization of environmentally friendly materials to develop plastic lenses made from biodegradable or recyclable materials, in order to cater to increasing focus of both consumers and industries across the world on sustainability, which in turn, pushes the market growth forward at exponential pace.
For instance, in August 2022, SPECSAVERS, announced the launch of a new glasses and contact lens recycling initiative along with MYgroup, which allow customers to drop off their both plastic and ketal glasses and sunglasses as well as contact lenses.
