- FY2025Continues to expect stable growth despite population declineAnnual report
「Although Japan's domestic contact lens market is currently experiencing population decline and aging, it is expected to continue growing steadily for the time being, supported by an increase in the contact lens-wearing population accompanying the growth in myopia, growth in specialty lenses such as multifocal lenses against the backdrop of an aging population, and the ongoing pass-through of higher costs resulting from various cost pressures, including the weak yen and elevated resource prices.」

「The market is estimated to be on a steady growth trajectory despite population decline, against a backdrop of the continuing shift to daily disposable lenses, growth in multifocal and toric lenses among middle-aged and older users, and the spread of orthokeratology lenses, which are worn during sleep to correct vision during the day without glasses or contact lenses.」
