Global Contact Lens Market was valued at USD19.69 billion in 2022 and is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 6.09% in the forecast period Growth in the market can be ascribed to the rising prevalence of eye diseases among the population across the world.
According to WHO, around 2.2 billion people have vision impairment or blindness, of whom at least 1 billion have a vision impairment that could have been prevented or is yet to be addressed.
The increasing prevalence of severe eye conditions such as presbyopia, glaucoma, etc, is resulting in increased demand for contact lenses. Moreover, an estimated 64 million people globally have glaucoma, of which only 6.9 million (10.9%) are reported to have moderate or severe distance vision impairment or blindness resulting from more severe forms of the condition worldwide.
Increased Demand for Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lenses
Researchers suggest that among all contact lenses, almost 77% of contact lenses use Silicone hydrogel materials in development of contact lenses. Silicone hydrogels contact lenses being soft contact lenses offer high levels of oxygen transmissibility through the cornea in comparison to normal contact lenses.
Moreover, leading companies such as Bosch + Lomb launched its product INFUSE Silicone hydrogel series of daily disposable contact lenses. Silicone hydrogel is suggested as a solution by doctors or eye specialists to their patients suffering an eye allergy or lens allergy due to their previous lens usage.
Increasing Research & Developments into Contact Lenses
The growing research & development in contact lenses has led to the discovery of materials used to make contact lenses with additional features and functionality. Researchers have developed contact lenses enhanced with microfluidic technology for an efficient method of drug delivery. This technology thus offers non-invasive intraocular pressure monitoring in the eye and thereby is creating a huge demand in the contact lens market.
Additionally, leading companies are increasing their investments in research & development and thus are developing contact lenses with new advancements.
For instance, Alcon, in 2021, launched TOTAL30 -a first and only monthly replacement contact lenses, which are designed with water gradient technology and are highly accepted in the US and Europe markets, thereby these technology-based contact lenses are occupying a larger demand in the market and are anticipated to propel the market growth in the forecast period.
Increase In Influence of Cosmetic Industry on Contact Lenses
Several people are using contact lenses not only to correct vision but for enhancing eye color. Contact lenses are higher in demand as a fashion accessory in recent times as people are influenced by the fashion industry and influencers for using colored contact lenses to enhance their eye color and at times to match their outfits. Various leading companies such as CooperVision is manufacturing colored contact lenses named under the series "Expressions", available in multiple colors such as aqua, light blue, brown, dark blue, green, grey, and hazel to be worn as an everyday thing and are easily affordable to the customers in reasonable prices, thereby are higher in demand among the public.
