Global Eyeglasses Lenses Material Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031
Description
According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Eyeglasses Lenses Material market size was valued at US$ 1671 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 2945 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 8.9% during review period.
Glasses lens materials refer to the materials used to make glasses lenses, mainly glass, resin, etc.
The main raw material of glass lenses is optical glass, which has superior optical properties, good light transmittance and mechanical and chemical properties, constant refractive index, and stable physical and chemical properties. Glass lenses have high surface hardness and are more wear-resistant. However, due to their heavy weight and fragility, fewer and fewer glass lenses have been used in recent years.
Resin is a hydrocarbon (hydrocarbon) secretion from plants, especially conifers, and is valued for its other special chemical structure. Resins can be divided into natural resins and synthetic resins, and resin lenses are lenses that are chemically synthesized with resin as raw materials and processed and polished. Resin lenses are light in weight and more comfortable to wear; they have strong impact resistance, are not easy to break and are safer; they also have good light transmittance; they are easy to reprocess to meet special needs; coupled with the innovation and improvement of coating technology, resin lenses also have good wear resistance, so they have become the mainstream of lenses on the market.
In addition, there are some special lens materials, such as photochromic lens materials, which can change color according to different changes in light. This material is usually composed of two different optical materials. When light enters, the different refractive indices of the two materials cause the light to scatter and reflect, thereby changing the color of the lens.
From a regional perspective, the Chinese market has changed rapidly in the past few years. The market size in 2024 is US$612 million, accounting for 37.70% of the world. It is expected to reach US$1.173 billion in 2031, and the global share will reach 40.49%.
In terms of product types and technologies, polyurethane (PU) products account for a high proportion. In terms of revenue, the market share will reach 56.60% in 2024, and due to its excellent properties, the market share will continue to grow rapidly in the future. It is expected that the PU market will reach US$2.317 billion in 2031. The compound growth rate from 2025 to 2031 is 14.22%.
As an emerging material for eyeglass lenses, polyurethane shows a variety of development potential. First, polyurethane has excellent impact resistance and toughness, which can effectively resist scratches and impacts in daily wear, while ensuring the lightweight of lenses and improving wearing comfort. Secondly, by adjusting the formula and process, polyurethane can achieve high refractive index and excellent optical properties to meet various visual correction needs. In addition, the processing flexibility of this material makes it possible to design personalized lenses such as aspheric and progressive multifocal lenses, and can be well combined with multi-layer coating technologies such as UV protection, blue light protection, and anti-reflection.
From the perspective of product market application, myopia glasses account for a high proportion. In terms of revenue, the market share will reach 86.55% in 2024, and it is expected that the myopia glasses market will reach US$2.45 billion in 2031. The compound growth rate from 2023 to 2029 is 8.75%.
As consumers' demand for eye health and functionality continues to increase, reading glasses, protective glasses, and sunglasses will show a faster growth rate than myopia glasses in the application of lens materials in the future. Although the traditional myopia glasses market is huge, after years of fierce competition, the market has become saturated and product homogeneity is obvious. Reading glasses not only need to meet the basic needs of vision correction, but also need to cope with the challenge of decreased eye accommodation ability in the middle-aged and elderly population. Their product design is transforming towards being light, thin, high-definition, comfortable and beautiful. The use of advanced polyurethane technology can achieve high refractive index and impact resistance while taking into account aesthetic effects, thus better meeting the dual requirements of modern consumers for fashion and health.
