PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Sunny outlook for contact lenses in the years ahead
Eyewear in the UAE is poised for growth in current value and volume terms over the forecast period, driven by increasing demand for premium products. This trend is being reinforced by immigration policy changes that are attracting affluent individuals, especially to Dubai.
E-commerce will continue evolving, but physical retailers will remain dominant
Despite strong growth in e-commerce at the end of the review period, online sales of contact lenses constituted approximately 10% of total sales. Over the forecast period, traditional optical goods stores will remain the dominant channel for contact lenses in the UAE.
Sustainability unlikely to drive innovation over the forecast period
Sustainability is not a top priority for most contact lens consumers in the UAE, and this is unlikely to change over the forecast period. While it has gained importance in other consumer goods industries, it remains less influential in eyewear mainly due to the lack of recycling options for contact lenses in the country.
