The top three revenue-generating product segments in the global soft contact lens market are discussed below:
Daily soft contact lens
“Daily soft contact lens are the most popular products in the market, holding close to 35% of the overall shares. This segment is expected to be the fastest-growing segment, due to the absence of accumulation of lens deposits, and cleaning requirements,” says Amber Chourasia, a lead analyst at Technavio for health and wellness research.
Manufacturers in the soft contact lens market are shifting their focus from manufacturing hard contact lenses to comfortable soft contact lenses. For instance, CooperVision, launched MyDay daily disposable contact lenses made of a new silicone hydrogel material that is only 4.4% silicone, making space for more moisture to the eyes.
Weekly replacement lens
The weekly replacement lenses are more durable than daily disposable lenses. The US is the largest contributor to this market segment and will continue its dominance through the forecast period. The dominance of the US is mainly due to the availability of the lenses in the country combined with the increased awareness about the product. Also, the introduction of new materials in the manufacture of these lenses has led to significant improvements in the safety aspect of these lenses, leading to the growth of the market segment.
Monthly replacement lens
“The global market for monthly replacement lenses is growing slowly, with the market segment nearing saturation. These lenses come across as a very affordable option to consumers looking for vision correction,” says Amber.
Currently, innovation and quality are taking over the product designing process. The launch of new and innovative products is expected to rise the demand for monthly disposable contact lenses. Other advantages of these lenses include their ease of cleaning, affordability, low maintenance, and durability.
