Top Companies in the Contact Lenses Industry

The global contact lenses market size reached US$ 8.5 Billion in 2023. Contact lenses are thin, curved films that are worn directly on the cornea to improve the vision of individuals with refractive errors, such as hyperopia, astigmatism, myopia, and presbyopia. They are made using transparent plastic disks with a slight tint of color to enhance the hues. In addition, these are considered a safer alternative to eyeglasses as they offer a wider field of vision, aiding individuals to see with more clarity. Owing to these properties, contact lenses are widely adopted for vision correction and cosmetic purposes.

As per the analysis by IMARC Group, the top contact lens companies are introducing special lenses to slow the progression of nearsightedness in children and treat keratoconus and other corneal irregularities. They are also manufacturing ultra-violet (UV) lenses that protect eyes from sun rays, which can cause cataracts and other eye problems. In addition, various market players are launching innovative colored lenses for cosmetic purposes to expand their consumer base. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 13.7 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period (2024-2032).
