Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 110.26 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.32% during 2025-2033. The rising cases of presbyopia and myopia, increasing awareness of vision correction solutions, growing adoption of advanced lens materials, expanding retail and e-commerce distribution channels, and a shift towards convenience-oriented disposable and reusable contact lenses are some of the major factors augmenting the India multifocal contact lenses market share.

India Multifocal Contact Lenses Market Trends:

Growing Prevalence of Presbyopia and Myopia Driving Demand

The increasing prevalence of vision disorders such as presbyopia and myopia among India's aging population is a key driver of the India multifocal contact lenses market growth. For instance, according to an industry report published on November 19, 2024, 28% of Indian youngsters under the age of eight now need spectacles due to a sharp rise in myopia. Myopia affects between 4% and 16% of children nationwide and up to 36% in some states; in Karnataka, the prevalence is between 4% and 8%. This increase is caused by a combination of factors, including genetic predisposition, decreased outside activity, and increased screen time. With a rising number of individuals experiencing difficulty in focusing on near and distant objects, multifocal contact lenses provide a convenient and effective vision correction solution. Additionally, lifestyle changes, prolonged screen exposure, and digital eye strain are contributing to an increase in vision problems across different age groups. Consumers are increasingly shifting from traditional eyeglasses to multifocal contact lenses due to their aesthetic appeal, comfort, and enhanced peripheral vision. The growing awareness regarding advanced optical solutions, coupled with increasing disposable incomes, is further encouraging people to opt for premium eye care products. As eye health becomes a priority, ophthalmologists are also recommending multifocal lenses as an optimal corrective solution, reinforcing market expansion in India. 

Technological Advancements and Product Innovations Fostering Market Growth

Continuous advancements in multifocal contact lens technology are significantly driving market growth in India. Manufacturers are focusing on improving lens design, material quality, and oxygen permeability to enhance comfort and wearability. Innovations such as silicone hydrogel lenses offer better hydration and extended wear capabilities, making them more appealing to consumers. Additionally, the introduction of daily disposable multifocal lenses provides users with hygienic and hassle-free options, reducing the risk of infections and eye irritation. The development of customized lenses tailored to individual vision requirements has also gained traction, catering to patients with astigmatism and presbyopia, which in turn is positively impacting India multifocal contact lenses market outlook. Furthermore, smart contact lenses with digital vision correction and blue-light filtration capabilities are gaining interest among professionals and students who spend prolonged hours on digital devices. With ongoing research and investment in optical technology, the market for multifocal contact lenses in India is set to witness continuous innovation and growth. For instance, Paras Defence & Space Technologies declared on January 23, 2025, that it would invest INR 12,000 Crore (about USD 1445.78 Million) to build the first optics park in India in Maharashtra. At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, the business signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Maharashtra government, formalizing this project. By strengthening India's production capacities in optics and optronics, this strategic initiative hopes to establish the nation as a major force in the world optical market.
