While the outlook for contact lenses in the UK is positive, value growth (at constant 2024 prices) is expected to slow over the forecast period. This will be due to ongoing economic uncertainty affecting consumers’ confidence, resulting in them remaining cautious with their spending and choosing more affordable options until they feel more financially secure.
Optical goods stores continue to dominate sales of contact lenses in the UK in 2024, since local consumers tend to refer to a trusted optical practitioner. However, within contact lenses, retail e-commerce has a growing and more significant position in terms of distribution compared to spectacles and sunglasses.
With an estimated 4.2 million contact lens wearers in the UK, approximately 750 million plastic contact lenses end up being flushed away or disposed of in waste ground, according to one eyewear scientist in 2024.
