North America has established itself as the most dominant region in the global contact lens market. The region is expected to hold a market share of 40.3% in 2024. The large presence of key industry players such as Johnson & Johnson, Bausch + Lomb, and CooperVision has enabled North America to enjoy easy accessibility to a wide range of contact lenses at affordable prices. These companies have been conducting extensive R&D activities to bring continuous innovation, like daily and extended-wear lenses, to cater to evolving consumer needs. Moreover, high consumer awareness regarding vision correction products and rising disposable income allow North Americans to regularly replace their existing lenses. The U.S., in particular, exhibits heavy demand for customized and specialty contact lenses.

Asia Pacific has emerged as the fastest-growing region, primarily driven by countries like China, India, and South Korea. Rapid urbanization and economic development in these nations have improved standards of living. More people are willing to spend on quality eyecare and vision correction. Along with population growth, this has boosted the sales volume. The abundance of skilled labor at competitive prices has encouraged global contact lens manufacturers to set up production facilities in Asia Pacific. This ensures a steady supply to cater to the rising local requirements as well as exports to other regions. Several domestic players are also entering the fray, offering affordable alternatives and building domestic brands. The growing exports from Asia Pacific, especially to Latin America and Africa, are aiding the regional market expansion.
