    The Eye Care (Pharmacies) market in Taiwan has been experiencing steady growth in recent years.

    Customer preferences:
    Customers in Taiwan have shown a growing interest in eye care products, including both prescription and over-the-counter solutions. This can be attributed to several factors, such as the increasing awareness of eye health and the rising prevalence of eye-related issues among the population. Additionally, the convenience of purchasing eye care products from pharmacies has also contributed to the preference for this channel.

    Trends in the market:
    One notable trend in the Eye Care (Pharmacies) market in Taiwan is the increasing demand for contact lenses. As more people are opting for contact lenses as a vision correction method, the sales of contact lenses in pharmacies have been on the rise. This trend can be attributed to the convenience of purchasing contact lenses from pharmacies, as well as the availability of a wide range of options to suit different needs and preferences. Another trend in the market is the growing demand for natural and organic eye care products. Consumers in Taiwan are becoming more conscious about the ingredients used in the products they use, and this extends to eye care as well.
