- Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the contact lenses market, projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.6% from 2025 to 2032, due to increasing urbanization, expanding middle-class population, and rising adoption of corrective and cosmetic lenses, particularly in countries such as China, India, South Korea, and Japan
- Daily wear contact lenses segment dominated the contact lenses market with a market share of 54.2% in 2024, driven by ease of use, reduced risk of eye infections, and increasing preference for disposable lenses among users seeking comfort and hygiene
