Disposable contact lenses can be used for a day to a few weeks and can be disposed of at the end of their usage period. These lenses are comfortable, safe, and a better choice for people with dry eyes or allergies. People are less prone to eye infections with daily disposable contact lenses.
Factors driving the growth of the disposable contact lenses market include the rising number of people with visual impairments, high demand for disposable contact lenses, growing specialized and innovative contact lenses, availability of technologically improved disposable contact lenses, rising awareness about vision correction, and the increasing use of cosmetic disposable contact lenses. Moreover, companies operating in this market are investing in research and innovations of technologically advanced, safe and comfortable contact lenses to reduce the risk of eye complications. Thus, it is expected to create development opportunities for the disposable contact lenses market.
However, the complications associated with disposable contact lenses and the strict government policies and regulations for product approval may hamper the market growth in the coming future.
The disposable contact lenses market is classified based on material, usage, application, distribution, design, and region. Based on the material, the market comprises silicone hydrogel and hydrogel. The market is segmented into daily disposable and frequent/planned/extended wear by usage. The application segment is divided into corrective, therapeutic, and cosmetic lenses.
The corrective lenses segment is predicted to maintain a significant market share over the forecast period due to the high demand for corrective lenses by digital device users. The market is bifurcated into retail optical stores, hospitals & ophthalmology clinics, and online stores in terms of distribution. The market is classified by design into spherical, toric, and multifocal. The toric and multifocal segments are anticipated to expand at the fastest rate during the estimated timeframe.
