Contact Lens Solution Market by Volume Channel (120mL, 360mL, 480mL), Material (Gas Permeable Lens, Hybrid Lens, Silicone Hydrogel Lens), Product, Distribution Channel - Global Forecast 2024-2030

The Contact Lens Solution Market size was estimated at USD 1.60 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 1.77 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 10.21% 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.
