Frequent replacement lenses, with higher unit prices than daily disposable counterparts, will continue to record the strongest volume growth in the category over the forecast period. This is not surprising, since the United Arab Emirates tends to have a population with higher per capita disposable income, and despite the rising cost of living, demand for this format will continue rising, supported by the likes of Barakat Optical (for The Cooper Cos Inc) with a wide range of brands including Biomedics 55 Evolution and Biofinity, Johnson & Johnson (Acuvue Oasys with Hydraclear Plus), Alcon (Air Optix Aqua), and Bausch Health Trading DWC LLC (Soflens 59).
While sustainability has been a significant focus in various consumer goods in the local market, it has struggled to gain traction in contact lenses, primarily due to limited recycling options for these products in the United Arab Emirates. Although globally, Bausch & Lomb has introduced a recycling programme, it has yet to reach the United Arab Emirates.
Although e-commerce continued to record strong growth at the end of the review period, online sales of contact lenses only accounted for 10% share. Despite the pandemic-driven surge in online shopping, traditional optical goods stores, comprising 84% share of distribution, remains the primary channel for contact lenses in the United Arab Emirates.
