According to the deep-dive market assessment study by Growth Plus Reports, the global contact lenses market was valued at US$ 9.1 billion in 2021 and is expected to register a revenue CAGR of 5.20% to reach US$ 14.36 billion by 2030.
Market Fundamentals
Contact lenses are clear, thin, curved disk-shaped medical devices placed directly on the cornea of the eye and help correct refractive errors. Contact lenses are used to treat myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia and are the best alternatives to eyeglasses and LASIK surgery. Contact lenses are also used for enhancing the appearance or altering the color of the eye.

Market Dynamics
The global contact lens market revenue growth is driven by the rising prevalence of myopia and increasing preference for contact lenses over eyeglasses. Additionally, innovations in contact lenses i.e., multifocal contact lenses, toric or astigmatic contact lenses, monthly and weekly disposable contact lenses, and personalized contact lenses are contributing to the global contact lenses demand.
Moreover, research and development in contact lens materials and the affordability of disposable contact lenses are fueling the global contact lens market revenue growth. However, the high time required for application, high maintenance cost, improper adherence to safety instruction, and limited wearing time as against eyeglasses are restraining the global contact lenses market revenue growth.
Market Ecosystem
The global contact lens market is analyzed from six perspectives: types, application, usage, design, distribution channel, and region.
Contact Lenses Market by Type
[78655344]
Based on types, the global contact lens market is segmented into soft contact lenses, hybrid contact lenses, and rigid gas permeable contact lenses.
Soft lenses are bio-engineered using hydrogel which provides more biocompatibility and acceptability. The Soft lenses segment leads the global contact lenses market in terms of revenue share. The large revenue share of this segment is attributed to high comfortability as compared to rigid contact lenses, and more clear, stable, and crisp vision. Additionally, the ease of use, high adoption rate, long wearing time, and availability of customization options are contributing to the segment’s revenue growth.
Contact Lenses Market by Application
Based on application, the global contact lenses market is segmented into corrective contact lenses, therapeutic contact lenses, cosmetic contact lenses, and prosthetic contact lenses.
Corrective contact lenses are used to correct refractive errors and improve vision. These lenses account for the largest revenue share, owing to increasing cases of myopia, increasing age-related macular degeneration cases, and increasing dry eye cases and eye strain. Additionally, the high demand for corrective contact lenses and the availability of customization options are contributing to the segment’s revenue growth.
Contact Lenses Market by Usage
Based on usage, the global contact lens market is segmented into extended-wear contact lenses and disposable contact lenses.
Disposable contact lenses segment accounts for the largest revenue share in the global contact lenses market. The large revenue share of this segment can be attributed to the low cost of these lenses when compared to extended wear contact lenses, convenience, safety, and high comfort. Moreover, the high demand for cosmetic use and the high number of vendors are boosting the segment’s revenue growth.
Contact Lenses Market by Design
Based on the design, the global contact lens market is segmented into spherical contact lenses, toric contact lenses, and multifocal contact lenses.
The spherical contact lenses segment is leading the global contact lenses market in terms of revenue share. The high revenue of this segment is due to their high imagining power & clear vision, high demand for myopia correction, better therapeutic effects, and optimized optical focal power.
Contact Lenses Market by Distribution Channel
Based on distribution channels, the global contact lenses market is segmented into e-commerce, retail stores, and ophthalmic clinics.
The retail stores segment accounts for the largest revenue share in the global contact lenses market. The large revenue share of this segment can be attributed to the high discount offers, large numbers of brands, easy-try options, and better customer service. Additionally, high numbers of walk-in customers and a variety of brand availability are contributing to the segment’s revenue growth.
Contact Lenses Market by Region
Based on region, the global contact lenses market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World.
North America accounts for the largest revenue share in the global contact lenses market, followed by Asia Pacific. The large revenue share of the North American contact lens market can be attributed to increasing ophthalmic diseases, increasing prevalence of myopia, and the availability of novel products. Additionally, high disposable income, the high adoption rate for contact lenses, technological advancements, and developed infrastructure are contributing to the North American contact lens market revenue growth. Moreover, the high number of approved contact lenses and the multitude of key players are expected to support the revenue growth of the North American contact lens market during the forecast period.
Asia Pacific is also expected to register exponential revenue growth owing to, its large population, increasing awareness and adaptability for contact lenses, developing infrastructure, and growing prevalence of myopia.
Competitive Landscape
