GCC Soft Contact Lenses Market Trends

The GCC soft contact lenses market size was estimated at USD 335.29 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.39% from 2025 to 2030. The industry is driven by the increasing prevalence of vision disorders, rising patient preference for contact lenses over traditional eyewear, and the growing geriatric population base in the region. For instance, according to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the elderly population in the UAE, aged 60 years and above, is expected to increase from 0.31 million in 2020 to around 0.99 million in 2030 and further reach 2.06 million in 2050. Furthermore, the increasing product innovation and advancements in technology are expected to fuel the market growth over the forecast period.

The rising number of individuals affected by refractive vision issues, such as myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, and astigmatism, is significantly driving the growth of the soft contact lens market across GCC nations. Factors like urbanization, lifestyle shifts, and prolonged exposure to digital screens are contributing to a higher incidence of visual impairments throughout the region. In particular, the aging populations of countries like the UAE and Saudi Arabia are experiencing an uptick in presbyopia, which is fueling demand for multifocal and specialized soft lenses. As awareness improves and access to care services expands in urban areas, the use of soft contact lenses for correcting refractive errors is expected to rise steadily in the GCC.

Moreover, in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, both government and private organizations are actively enhancing eye care awareness and providing free eye screenings to address the rising prevalence of vision-related issues. For instance, in May 2024, Magrabi Hospitals and Centers in Dubai organized an awareness campaign on eye diseases, providing free consultations and medical advice on the prevention and reduction of various eye diseases. The event was part of their social responsibility initiatives, visiting companies, universities, and charities in Dubai.

Such initiatives by various organizations significantly increased awareness among patients about eye care, thereby increasing demand for contact lenses. Similarly, free eye screening campaigns organized by government bodies contribute to the identification of eye disorders in the region. For instance, in May 2023, the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) successfully completed its comprehensive vision screening program for school students across Dubai during the academic year 2023-2024. The program screened approximately 26,700 students in both public and private schools.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
