What main drivers are fueling expansion in the photochromic lenses market?

The escalating incidence of eye-related ailments is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the photochromic lenses market in future. Eye disorders include a variety of conditions that impact the eyes, potentially damaging vision and general eye health, such as cataracts, myopia, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration. Factors like an aging populace, extended screen time, environmental contaminants, unhealthy eating habits, and a higher prevalence of chronic diseases like diabetes are leading to a surge in these disorders. Photochromic lenses are beneficial in easing eye discomfort and providing UV protection, thus offering comfort and enhanced ocular health in individuals dealing with eye issues. For example, the National Institutes of Health, a US government agency, reported in September 2022 that nearly 2.5 million individuals in the UK are grappling with some degree of vision loss, with another 350,000 listed as partially sighted or blind. The projections suggest that these figures are set to increase by 40% by 2050. Therefore, the mounting incidence of eye issues is a key factor propelling the growth of the photochromic lenses market.
