PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Daily disposables and presbyopia-led demand to drive contact lens growth
Value sales of contact lenses and solutions are expected to rise in Italy over the forecast period. The category still has limited penetration in Italy compared to other markets, mainly due to medical practitioners being very much against the use of these products, which they see as potentially detrimental for the user.
Myopia control expected to continue growing in the forecast period
Myopia control is expected to continue growing steadily in the forecast period, supported by increasing awareness amongst all key stakeholders, particularly considering that the category was only introduced in Italy in the second half of 2020. Growth is projected to be primarily driven by spectacle lenses, as Italian ophthalmologists have historically maintained a conservative stance toward contact lenses, often prescribing them only to patients over the age of 18 years.
Independent optical goods stores to remain central as online growth accelerates
From a distribution channel perspective, the contact lenses market in Italy is undergoing a gradual transformation, with the online channel continuing to gain momentum as consumers increasingly prioritise price, convenience and ease of access. Many users begin their experience in traditional optical goods stores, where product selection and fitting are still essential, but later shift to online platforms to benefit from more competitive prices and simplified repeat purchasing.
