Factors Affecting the Growth of the Contact Lenses Industry:

• • Rising Myopia Prevalence

The growing rates of myopia around the word, especially in younger populations, are creating unparalleled demand for corrective contact lenses. With urbanization, increasing screen time, and lifestyle changes driving up prevalence of myopia and subsequent corrective lens usage, the pool of customers bent to a corrective medication is expanding. Eye care professionals, who see corrective lenses as a convenient option to eyeglasses, are promoting lenses for patients who are active (in sport or life), and manufacturers are providing more alternatives that combine convenience and comfort with visual correction, thus speeding up adoption. While demand is growing globally, this will always be a particularly encouraging trend in Asia-Pacific markets, as nearly all countries in the region have some of the fastest rates of myopia development leading to sustained long-term growth in the overall market.

• • Daily Disposable Boom

 because of their convenience, hygiene, and decreased risk of infection or complication. Consumers are becoming increasingly more attracted to "hassle free" options that do not require cleaning and storage, which is beneficial for occasional wear and travel. The continued growth in this segment will also support increased volume from ophthalmologists, who frequently advise their contact lens patients to try daily disposable lenses as a way to minimize their risk of infection. Manufacturers, once limited by the materials available, continue to create new products made from newer materials with added comfort characteristics that add to breathability and moisture retention, and allow for longer wear time. This dispute of single-use vs longer-format contact lenses is the same as the continued movement by consumers towards single-use health care devices that prioritize performance and ease of use.

• • Cosmetic Lens Innovation

The demand for colored and cosmetic contact lenses is increasing rapidly as fashion and self-expression items. Social media trends and celebrities are responsible for a lot of attention to eye-enhancing designs ranging from natural tints to show stopping options. There is also an entire sector opening with the increasing popularity of cosplay and special effects lenses which draw a line separating them from "normal" vision correction. Manufacturers are making lenses from safer materials, customizable, and offering more designs that can accommodate prescriptions. There are also regulatory improvements helping to increase consumer confidence in non-corrective lenses. The growth of this segment is in part a blend of several industries thanks to both healthcare and beauty professionals opening up the potential market to medical retailers and cosmetic brands.
