Overview of the contact lenses market

The global contact lens market is projected to be valued at US$13.47 billion by 2019. Contact lenses are used for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to: vision problems, ophthalmic disorders, and fashion or accessories. This market will grow because of three key uses of such lenses – cosmetic, aesthetic, and therapeutic.

Typically, a contact lens is a small, thin and curved a prescription lens that is won over the cornea. Besides being extensively used for refractive error correction, contact lenses are becoming popular for cosmetic use and as novelty products. For example, colored lenses or costume lenses are worn as a fashion statement or to enhance eye color. In 2004 alone, nearly 125 million people were estimated to be using these lenses, according to a Contact Lens Spectrum study. Since then, this market has grown by leaps and bounds, especially after widespread marketing and advertising campaigns by advertising companies led to higher awareness.

Despite rigid gas permeable lenses being more durable (than soft lenses), their demand will slump over the forecast period. This will largely be because soft disposable lenses align better with changing lifestyles.

The soft lens market is composed of lens types such as: weekly replacement, daily replacement, monthly replacement, annual replacement, extended wear, and lenses with an unplanned replacement schedule. The sub-segment of extended wear soft lenses and daily disposable contact lenses occupied the largest market share in 2012. However, the emphasis is now shifting towards high-comfort soft lenses over hard lenses.
