According to TechSci Research report, “Global Contact Lenses Market By Modality (Reusable, v/s Disposable), By Design (Spherical, Toric, Multifocal, Others), By Material Type (Silicon Hydrogel, Hydrogel, Gas Permeable, Others), By Application (Corrective, Therapeutic, Cosmetic, Others), By Distribution (Retail Stores, Hospitals & Clinics, Online), By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2026”, the global contact lenses market stood at USD13.73 billion in 2020 and is further anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.25% during the forecast period. This can be ascribed to the changing lifestyle patterns, especially among the youth, has increased the use of colored contact lenses more as a fashion accessory. Furthermore, the growing influence of social media has made the generation Z population increasingly adopt and use colored contact lenses on account of their aesthetic values and features. The colored contact lenses make eyes appear lighter and enhance or altogether change their color.

Also, an increasing demand from entertainment industry is witnessed for stylish contact lenses which are available in wide range of colors, shades and textures and make the eyes more attractive. This in turn is expected to positively influence the market growth over the next few years. Also, an increase in the research & development activities is witnessed in terms of contact lenses, the materials used to make contact lenses, their features & functionality, among others. The companies operating in the contact lens industry are increasing their R&D expenditure and activities to improve their existing product portfolio and for developing new products. For instance, Menicon Co., Ltd, in August 2020, announced the opening of Menicon Future Device Research Laboratory in Japan in collaboration with Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan. The laboratory aims to design and develop new materials for manufacturing contact lenses using structural controls and advanced manufacturing methods.

However, the lack of trained healthcare professionals (this includes ophthalmologists, opticians, among others) in certain countries, especially in the developing world can restrict the market growth over the next few years. Besides, there is a lot of price variation observed in terms of the contact lenses offered by branded players and non-branded companies. Every region and country across the globe have the presence of established contact lens brands and their domestic players. The contact lenses offered by the domestic players are available at lower prices or they keep on changing the prices based on the market scenario. This in turn creates a lot of disparities in pricing in terms of contact lenses offered by the branded and non-branded players, which adversely impacts the market growth.
