Eye care in Canada is expected to maintain strong and resilient growth in 2026, supported by the structural influence of digital lifestyles and an ageing population. These factors are sustaining demand for artificial tears and lubricants, while consumers’ willingness to invest in premium and professionally recommended products continues to support value growth. To capitalise on these favourable conditions, companies should prioritise innovation in preservative-free formulations while maintaining close relationships with pharmacists and optometrists. Adapting professional engagement and recommendation strategies will also be important as changes in brand ownership reshape competitive dynamics.
