• The spectacle lens market is set to grow significantly, reaching $71.37 billion by 2029, with a CAGR of 5.8%.
This growth is supported by the shift toward eco-friendly materials, expanded healthcare coverage, higher myopia rates in younger demographics, fashion-driven demand for lens coatings and tints, and an aging population's need for multifocal lenses. Trends include photochromic and adaptive lenses, smart lens technology, advanced materials, personalized lenses, and solutions for digital eye strain.
What Are The Core Factors Supporting Growth In The Spectacle Lens Market?
The spectacle lens market is predicted to grow significantly due to the rising occurrence of ophthalmic disorders. These disorders may range from simple issues like refractive errors to more severe conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. The increase in these disorders can be attributed to factors such as extended screen exposure, digital device utilization, and aging populations, thereby leading to conditions like digital eye strain, myopia, and age-related macular degeneration. Spectacle lenses are instrumental in correcting these disorders, such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia, by refracting light to accurately focus on the retina, enhancing visual clarity, and decreasing strain. For instance, data from the US-based public health government administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in November 2022, indicated that over 3 million Americans were grappling with glaucoma, and this number is projected to rise to 6.3 million by 2050. Moreover, in September 2023, a report by the UK's representative membership organization, the Association of Optometrists, revealed that England had 22,552 new cases of vision impairment in 2022. Out of these, 1,344 were related to diabetic eye disease, 3,614 were linked to glaucoma, and 10,865 were connected to age-related macular degeneration. As a result, the escalating occurrence of ophthalmic disorders is spurring the growth of the spectacle lens market.
