Global Contact Lenses Market Outlook 2024, Forecast To 2033

10 Oct, 2024

The contact lenses market has seen significant growth, with the market size increasing from $8.60 billion in 2023 to $9.15 billion in 2024, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The historic growth can be attributed to the rising prevalence of vision disorders, growing awareness regarding eye health, an increase in refractive surgeries, the rise of online retail, and the expansion of vision care clinics. Looking forward, the market is expected to experience further growth, reaching $11.87 billion in 2028, with a CAGR of 6.7%. This growth will be propelled by factors such as the increasing prevalence of myopia, a rising demand for daily disposable lenses, an aging population, a preference for contact lenses, and a growing number of refractive errors. Trends anticipated during the forecast period include technological advancements, disposable lenses, UV protection lenses, smart lens technology, and the utilization of telemedicine.

Major Driver In The Contact Lenses Market

The rise in the prevalence of eye disorders is expected to significantly drive growth in the contact lens market in the upcoming years. Eye disorders affect the structure or function of the eye, leading to visual impairment, discomfort, or other symptoms. The increase in these disorders can be attributed to factors such as higher screen time, aging populations, environmental pollution, and lifestyle changes. Contact lenses offer corrective solutions for refractive errors, enhance comfort for dry eyes, and manage conditions like keratoconus with specialized lenses. For instance, in March 2024, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities reported that around 2 million people in the UK have some vision loss, a figure expected to rise to 2.7 million by 2030. The contact lens market is projected to grow from $8 billion in 2023 to $9 billion in 2024, ultimately reaching $12 billion by 2028. Thus, the increasing prevalence of eye disorders is a significant driver of growth in the contact lens market.
