The nutritional eye health/vision market is set to explode and it’s already on a roll.
May 1, 2013

Sloan Trends Inc.
Among conditions that U.S. consumers are very/extremely concerned about, eye health ranks 4th; globally it is among the top five health concerns, according to the 2013 HealthFocus International Trend report. Sales of eye health supplements reached $419 million in 2012, up 6% according to Nutrition Business Journal (NBJ). Among the 59% of adults who are taking dietary supplements, 7% use a supplement for eye health, according to Multi-Sponsor Surveys “2011 Gallup Study of U.S. Eye Health.” In the mass market multivitamin category, eye supplements were second only to Centrum Silver and Flintstones as top sellers. Leader Bausch & Lomb’s PreserVision and Ocuvite brands posted Food/Drug/Mass sales of $80 million for the year ended 6/10/12, +14% vs. 2011, according to IRI. However, the biggest opportunity may well lie with foods and beverages. While only 11% of grocery shoppers bought a food/beverage for eye health benefits last year, 77% strongly/somewhat agreed that eye health had an influence on their food purchase decisions, which is 29% above the average for condition-specific foods, according to Packaged Facts’ 2012 “Targeted Health & Wellness Foods and Beverages.” Nearly half (49%) of adults are aware of nutrients that can be helpful in promoting eye health or preventing eye health problems. However, unaided, while 42% associated vitamins in general with eye health, only 23% cited vitamin A or beta-carotene, 19% antioxidant vitamins, 19% B vitamins, 13% vitamin C, 13% lutein, and 11% omega 3s/fish oil or minerals, Gallup reported. The National Institutes of Health’s National Eye Institute (NEI) Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2 (AREDS 2) is expected to be released in 2013. AREDS 1, released in 2001, confirmed that consumption of high-dose antioxidants (vitamins C, E, beta-carotene, zinc and copper) reduced the risk of progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) by 25% and the risk of moderate vision loss by 19%. The AREDS 2 study includes these five antioxidants from AREDS 1 plus lutein, zeaxanthin and omega 3 fatty acids DHA and EPA. Those experiencing any eye disease or trying to reduce the risk of age-related diseases are significantly more likely to use eye health supplements, according to Gallup. With 107 million Americans now over age 50, products that help to prevent AMD, glaucoma and cataracts will have strong appeal. With 40 million contact lens wearers in the U.S., preventing infection is an important new segment, as is night blindness, dry eye and computer eye strain. New 2012-13 NEI findings revealed that targeting cholesterol buildup in the eye may slow age-related vision loss, that the immune system may play a central role in AMD, and there is a sharp rise in diabetic eye disease, creating other high potential areas of opportunity.
