In 2023, the import of spectacle lenses made from materials other than glass to Brazil stood at 1.3226 million kilograms. The forecasts predict a consistent growth trend in the import volume from 2024 to 2028, with values increasing from 1.3546 million kilograms in 2024 to 1.4785 million kilograms by 2028. This reflects a year-on-year growth ranging from approximately 2.35% to 2.07%, with an average compound annual growth rate of about 2.29% over the five-year forecast period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological advancements leading to lighter and more durable lens materials, potentially influencing demand patterns.
Local industry developments could offset imports if domestic production picks up or if trade policies shift.
Continued increase in vision correction needs driven by lifestyle changes and aging demographics, potentially boosting import volumes.
