The global contact lenses market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.1 % during the forecast period (2022-2028). Contact lenses not only remove the need for cumbersome and difficult-to-manage spectacles, and also adds benefit of improving one’s aesthetic attractiveness. Increasing advancements in contact lens manufacturing during the forecast period have resulted in the utilization of a variety of materials to create lenses that serve several purposes.

 

Some driving factors for the global contact lenses market are:

• The rising prevalence of myopia and rising spending on ophthalmic products, such as contact lenses, as a corrective measure for refractive errors, are likely to propel the contact lens market forward during the forecast period. Myopia is more common in East Asian countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, according to the WHO. Myopia and high myopia are estimated to affect 4,949 million and 925 million individuals globally by 2050, respectively.
• Developing countries across the globe, such as BRIC, Mexico, and South Africa, offer tremendous growth opportunities for contact lens producers due to their large population bases. India and China are home to more than half of the world’s population. The region’s elderly population is predicted to grow from 548 million in 2019 to over 1.3 billion by 2050, resulting in a rise in the prevalence of age-related eye illnesses. Increased knowledge of eye diseases, changing lifestyles, rising per capita spending, and market saturation in industrialized economies are all motivating market participants to develop products and increase their presence in the market during the forecast period.
