Eye care in Belgium stands out for delivering robust growth in 2026, with retail value sales set to rise to EUR81.6 million, supported by a 6% current value increase that surpasses volume gains. This performance signals a highly attractive landscape, where demand is fuelled by the widespread adoption of digital devices and the resulting prevalence of screen-related eye discomfort among younger adults and office workers. The environment is defined by consumers’ willingness to pay for advanced preservative-free solutions, which are now expected as standard, and by a market structure that rewards innovation in both formulation and packaging. As e-commerce gains ground, particularly among frequent buyers seeking convenience and competitive pricing, brands must adopt omnichannel strategies and focus on differentiating through professional credibility, product specialisation, and the ability to address evolving daily needs. The success of leading players, which have consolidated their positions by investing in premium formulations and maintaining strong pharmacy partnerships, underscores the importance of trust, clinical reassurance, and consumer-centric innovation for sustained growth in eye care.
