European Lens Cleaning Market Driver

The growth in visual disorder, as well as the rising reliance on vision-improving products

• The eyewear market is projected to expand at an exponential rate, driving the market growth for lens cleaning products. Vision impairment is a common problem in Europe. Coupled with an aging population across the continent, the prevalence of such problems may increase in the future. Eyesight impairments can range from slight vision abnormalities to complete blindness. Common causes of sight loss include refractive disorders, cataracts, macular degeneration, and glaucoma. In 2020, in Western Europe, there were over 8.5 million people affected with moderate-severe vision loss as a result of refractive disorders. On the other hand, glaucoma caused blindness for almost 38,000 people, and cataracts was the cause of blindness for around 52,000 individuals. Thus, with increasing incidences of visual disorders will create a significant scope for the market growth.

European Lens Cleaning Market Challenges

Added cost of lens cleaning solutions

• Lens cleaning is an added cost for users along with the cost of the lenses. The increasing maintenance cost of lenses is expected to be a major challenge. The development of new low-maintenance lenses is expected to be a restraining factor for the lens cleaning products market. Customers prefer buying lens cleaning products for maintaining expensive and high-end products such as branded sunglasses, digital cameras, and others. A typical buyer who is purchasing a low-cost item is unlikely to purchase lens cleaning supplies.
