Based on product, the global contact lens market has been bifurcated into soft lenses and gas permeable lenses. Technological advancements to improve efficiency and reduce the risk of side effects caused due to long term use are anticipated to drive the market. Contact lenses are used by individuals with myopia, presbyopia, astigmatism, and other types of corneal irregularities for vision correction. Demand for cosmetic contact lenses has increased among the young generation to enhance their look. Manufactures are partnering with research institutes for the development of vision correction therapies, to expand product portfolio, and invest in manufacturing facilities to increase production capabilities to meet the rising demand. On April 11, 2018, Johnson & Johnson announced the launch of ACUVUE OASYS contact lenses with Transitions Light Intelligent Technology. Major restraints of the global market are side effects caused due to long term usage, and stringent regulations.
In terms of design, the global contact lens market has been divided into spherical, toric, multifocal, and others. The spherical segment is anticipated to account for a major share of the global market during the forecast period. However, demand for multifocal lenses and toric lenses has increased due to rise in patient population with near and farsightedness. The trend is anticipated to continue during the forecast period. The multifocal and toric segments are expected to account for more than 25.0% market share in 2026. Growth of the segments is attributed to increase in product launches and strategic collaborations by manufacturers to expand geographical footprint. For instance, in July 2016, Alcon introduced Dailies Total1 Multifocal contact lenses with water gradient lens technology which helps in improved vision quality.
