Global Contact Lens Solution Market by Volume Channel (120mL, 360mL, 480mL), Material (Gas Permeable Lens, Hybrid Lens, Silicone Hydrogel Lens), Product, Distribution Channel - Forecast 2023-2030

The Contact Lens Solution Market size was estimated at USD 1.45 billion in 2022, USD 1.60 billion in 2023, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.26% to reach USD 3.17 billion by 2030.

Contact lens solution is a specialized product used to clean, store and disinfect contact lenses which generally contains ingredients such as cleaning agents, buffers, and preservatives that help keep the lenses free of bacteria and maintain the integrity of the material. Contact lens solution helps remove proteins, lipids, and debris from the lenses to keep them clean and clear while also killing harmful bacteria. The application of contact lens solutions involves soaking the lenses overnight in a multi-purpose cleaning solution or using two different solutions (one to clean and the other to disinfect). The advantages of contact lens solutions include better eye health by reducing the risks of an eye infection, improved comfort due to better cleaning of contact lenses, extended wear time, and clearer vision. The increasing burden of eye-related disorders, growing outdoor recreational activities, and high adoption of hydrogen peroxide-based solutions drive the growth of the contact lens solution market. On the other hand, there are several challenges the industry must overcome, which affect the demand and sales of contact lens solutions. These challenges include limited awareness and usage of contact lenses in some regions, reluctance on the part of some individuals to wear contact lenses, infections, or allergies. Consumers may choose to utilize contact lens solutions marketed as generics in mass-merchandising stores, even if they may not be suitable for all types and modalities of lenses. However, introducing novel products with clean-label ingredients and ongoing clinical trials for regulatory approvals may overcome these challenges and create a lucrative spectrum for market development.

The rising number of eye disorders with sight problems has also enhanced the adoption of contact lenses, ultimately increasing the use of contact lens solutions in the American region. Due to ongoing clinical trials, the penetration of FDA-approved contact lens solutions has grown significantly in recent years. Most American consumers prefer preservative-free, high-performance brands with good value for money. On the other hand, European consumers prefer to purchase products with fewer preservatives and more natural ingredients, making them more health-conscious when choosing their products. The significant preference for sports culture and growing eye disorders in the EMEA region have raised the adoption of contact lenses and their solution for adequate eye care. There is also growing demand for contact lens solutions in the APAC region due to increasing disposable incomes and awareness about eye care and hygiene among consumers. Consumers favor brands providing superior quality lenses at competitive prices and prefer preservative-free solutions due to their safety and health benefits. Overall, contact lens solutions are becoming increasingly popular across all regions due to their convenience, availability options, and attractive offers and discounts given by many leading brands, further boosting their adoption ratio.
