Japan Eye Health Supplements Market Overview:

The Japan eye health supplements market size reached USD 130.1 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 237.2 Million by ​2033​, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.90% during 2025-2033. ​The market is driven by an aging population prone to vision issues, increased digital screen usage causing eye strain, heightened health awareness emphasizing preventive care, and a preference for natural ingredients like lutein and zeaxanthin.

Japan Eye Health Supplements Market Trends:

Aging Population and Age-Related Vision Concerns

Japan has one of the world’s oldest populations, and age-related eye conditions such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, and cataracts are increasingly common. According to government data, Japan’s senior population has reached an all-time high of 36.25 million individuals, with nearly one-third of Japanese citizens aged 65 and above. This demographic shift significantly drives the demand for eye health supplements aimed at maintaining or improving vision, fueling the Japan eye health supplements market share. Ingredients like lutein, zeaxanthin, and astaxanthin are popular for their protective effects against oxidative stress and light-induced damage in aging eyes. Older consumers are especially proactive about preventive health, seeking daily supplements that support long-term visual function. Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical companies are responding with age-targeted formulations marketed as non-invasive ways to preserve vision. The aging trend will continue to anchor demand, making this one of the most influential factors in the Japanese market.

Increased Screen Time and Digital Eye Strain

With widespread digital device use in both professional and personal settings, Japanese consumers of all ages face prolonged exposure to screens, leading to symptoms like dry eyes, blurred vision, and eye fatigue. This surge in screen time, intensified by remote work, smartphone dependence, and online learning, has created a new consumer base actively seeking relief through eye health supplements, which is further driving the Japan eye health supplements market growth. Products with ingredients such as bilberry extract, astaxanthin, and omega-3 fatty acids are promoted for their anti-fatigue and circulation-boosting properties. The growing awareness of “digital eye strain” as a lifestyle-related concern is prompting younger consumers, particularly office workers and students, to embrace supplementation as a daily preventative measure.

Rising Preventive Health Awareness

Japanese consumers are increasingly embracing a preventive approach to health and wellness, which includes proactive supplementation to maintain organ function, including vision. Rather than waiting for medical issues to arise, individuals are turning to eye health supplements to preserve eyesight, especially considering modern lifestyle pressures such as artificial lighting and urban pollution. Educational campaigns and eye care awareness promoted by optometrists, pharmacies, and health brands are further creating a positive impact on the Japan eye health supplements market outlook. As consumers become more informed about the importance of ocular nutrition, demand grows for products that offer long-term visual health benefits. This preventive mindset reflects a broader cultural shift in Japan toward managing aging and lifestyle-related health risks proactively.
