Eye care in China is expected to demonstrate compelling growth in 2026, with retail value sales climbing to CNY3,972 million and a year-on-year rise of 6%, clearly outpacing performance in the broader Asia Pacific region. This momentum is supported by an expanding consumer base, the rising incidence of digital eye strain and paediatric myopia, as well as a surge in digital health adoption that positions e-commerce as the principal purchasing channel. The attractiveness of eye care is reinforced by robust innovation in drug delivery, the emergence of regenerative therapies and the broadening of access through affordable over-the-counter options and public health initiatives, making it a dynamic and competitive environment. Success in this landscape requires brands to invest in digital infrastructure, prioritise direct-to-consumer engagement and continuously advance product offerings, while sustaining consumer trust and navigating intensifying price competition across online and instant delivery platforms.
