PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Lifestyle choices among younger consumers will continue driving demand
Although spectacles tend to last longer, a portion of South African consumers will continue to choose contact lenses for lifestyle reasons. For these individuals, glasses can feel limiting or intrusive, especially when mobility, comfort, or appearance are important.
Local consumers increasingly considering LASIK eye surgery
Although many South African consumers are struggling financially, some are carefully considering how best to manage their budgets to ensure that they obtain the best value for money. The regular ordering of contact lenses (DD and FRP) is a considerable expense, especially when these products are discarded after use, which encourages mid-income consumers to save money for permanent eye correction surgery, such as LASIK.
Consumers increasingly turn to e-commerce to purchase contact lenses
During the COVID-19 pandemic, e-commerce gained popularity among local consumers who wanted to purchase monthly contact lenses but were unable to visit optical goods stores. However, post-pandemic, many South Africans are continuing to move online to find the most competitive pricing on various brands compared to offers from their regular optical goods store.
