The global contact lenses market size is estimated to reach USD 33.80 billion by 2030, registering an estimated CAGR of 8.9% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market growth can be ascribed to the increasing demand for contact lenses driven by factors, such as rising cases of refractive errors coupled with the growing aging population. A significant rise in the cases of astigmatism and myopia across the globe and the growing acceptance of contact lenses in developing countries are favoring the expansion of the market. In addition, increasing product demand for aesthetic appearance, especially among the young population, and rising disposable income are enhancing the market growth.
Technological advancements, a rising number of active lens wearers, and the development of innovative solutions, such as silicone hydrogel material, are influencing the growth of the market. The market players are focusing on introducing innovative products that can cater to a larger customer base and help them gain a competitive edge. For Instance, in September 2022, Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc. unveiled two new contact lenses, namely ACUVUE OASYS MAX 1-Day MULTIFOCAL and ACUVUE OASYS MAX 1-DAY, for presbyopia. The latest offerings are designed with modern technologies that are suitable for digitally intense lifestyles.
It is based on TearStable Technology, which maximizes tear-film stability and locks in moisture for enhanced comfort all day long. Hybrid contact lenses are gaining massive traction across the global market as they offer advantages of both soft and hard lenses. Designed to provide the comfort of soft lenses and RGP lenses’ excellent visual quality, they are suitable for patients with presbyopia with astigmatism or corneal astigmatism. Moreover, these lenses are suitable for individuals who are concerned about the comfort of RGP lenses or who find it difficult to achieve optimal vision with soft lenses.
