Technological Advancement in Contact Lenses Likely to Augment Market

Rise in Investment to Boost Market Growth

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.
