Increasing awareness pertaining to ocular health is expected to drive the growth of the global eye care market.
According to recently released TechSci Research report “Global Eye Care Market By Product Type (Eyeglasses, Eye Drops, Contact Lens, Intraocular Lens, Eye Vitamins, Others), By Eye Drops (Prescription v/s Over-The-Counter), By Coating (Anti-Glare, UV Coating, Others), By Lens Material (Polycarbonate, Normal Glass, Trivex, Others), By Distribution Channel (Retail Stores, E-commerce, Clinics, Hospitals), By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2026”, the global eye care market stood at USD57.65 billion in 2020 and is expected to witness a significant growth of 6.95% during the forecast period. This can be attributed to the growing penetration of smartphones, laptops, tablets, T.V., among others which has increased the overall screen time for individuals, especially the youth. This in turn has led to several eye problems including the most common dry eyes syndrome. Additionally, the increasing adoption of online learning platforms and work from home culture across the globe due to the sudden outbreak and spread of COVID-19 has also increased the screen time of individuals over the internet and over devices such as smartphones, laptops, among others. Also, it has been witnessed that the overall time over internet increased for population across the globe during lockdowns caused due to the pandemic spread especially over the Over-The-Top (OTT) platforms. This in turn has led to an increase in various eye problems such as macular degeneration, blurred vision, dryness, inflammation in the eyes, among others in the individuals worldwide. Thus, these factors are expected to positively influence the growth of the overall eye care market. The changing lifestyle patterns, especially among the youth, has increased the use of eyeglasses and contact lenses more as a fashion accessory. An increase in the use of colored contact lenses has been witnessed especially in the countries of Asia Pacific region such as South Korea, Japan, China, and India. Even people who do not have any eye problem are also wearing spectacles just for aesthetic value. This in turn is expected to increase the demand for various eyeglasses such as cat eyeglasses, colored frames and contact lenses, thereby driving the growth of the global eye care market. Also, different countries across the globe are developing programs for spreading awareness related to eye care. This in turn is expected to drive the market growth. However, high costs of eyeglasses, contact lenses, intraocular lenses, among others lead to affordability constraints among the population pertaining to the use of these products especially in the developing and under-developed countries. This in turn is expected to restrict the market growth of the overall eye care products in these countries.

Based on coating, the market can be categorized into anti-glare, UV coating and others. The anti-glare segment dominated the market in 2020 with an overall market share of around 43.66% since anti-glare eliminates reflections both from front and back.

Based on distribution channel, the market can be fragmented into retail stores, e-commerce, clinics, and hospitals. The e-commerce segment is expected to a hold a market share of around 28.04% in 2020.
