INTRODUCTION

STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

The key objective of this contact lens market report is to present an exhaustive analysis of the contact lens market with respect to key market dynamics, adoption trends, market forecasts, and competitive scenarios. The report will also provide key decision-making factors such as major mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, new product launches, and exclusive strategies of top industry participants. The report will aim at providing extensive forecast data for the contact lens market segmented by characteristic, usability, cosmetic, corrective, purpose, age, and others.

REASONS FOR DOING THIS STUDY

The contact lens market has been rising steadily. However, its market penetration in developing economies is still negligible despite price correction efforts. This is leading to significant awareness activities among the target group. The market potential is being further enhanced as the age of contact lens wearers has been continually becoming lower (currently the minimum average age is 15). The market has undergone significant transformations with respect to innovation, price, and target. All these factors have altered the market approach. This makes it immensely important for industry participants to understand the changing dynamics and adoption trends especially in developing economies. This report will contain key dynamics, breaking innovations, and competitive intelligence and will provide a comprehensive outlook of the market.

INTENDED AUDIENCE

Key stakeholders of the report include key decision-makers such as CEOs, product and marketing heads, research heads of contact lens manufacturers, and retailers. The report will also be useful to existing companies in the ophthalmology segment and those looking to enter the contact lens market. Universities and consulting firms can derive in-depth market intelligence with respect to the overall contact lens market.

SCOPE AND FORMAT
The key market segments covered in this report are as follows:

Purpose: Corrective, cosmetic, therapeutic
Characteristics: Rigid/hard, soft.
Usability/life span: Disposables (daily disposables, silicone contact disposables, up to 30 days, others), conventional/planned replacement (daily wear, extended wear).
Aesthetics/cosmetics: Tinted, translucent, colored, prosthetic contact lenses, special effect contact lenses.
Design in hard and soft lenses: Spherical, toric, cosmetic, orthokeratology (Ortho-K), multifocal, and custom made.
Corrective nature: Myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia.
By age: Children, teens, young, middle, elderly.
Others: Hydrophilic/hydrogel, gas permeable, others.

METHODOLOGY AND INFORMATION SOURCES

The market estimates in the report are based on both primary and secondary research. Intensive questionnaire and discussion guides were used to gather data from industry participants, key opinion leaders, and other market specialists across the targeted geographic segments. The market numbers are further validated through a decision support database and top down market analysis. Secondary research was performed through both paid sources such as Factiva, other domain-based subscription sites, and free sources such as company websites, Google search, freepatentsonline.com, etc.
