The Russia glass lens market is expected to witness significant growth in the upcoming years on account of its increasing usage in digital imaging, mobile phones, and optical instruments. The growing demand for smartphones and optical products will propel the market growth over the forecast period. Moreover, rising consumer disposable income coupled with technological advancements has led to increased adoption of advanced lenses by consumers. This is likely to further drive the market expansion in the near future.
Increasing applications of lenses across various end-use industries such as medical devices, automotive, aerospace & defense industries are expected to fuel product demand over the forecast period. In addition, rising investments from local government agencies along with new product innovations undertaken by major players are anticipated to create lucrative opportunities for key participants operating in this domain during the forcast period.
High costs associated with the manufacturing process and raw material procurement may hamper the overall development of the Russia glass lens industry during the assessment period. Furthermore, the availability of substitutes such as plastic polymers may also restrain business growth over the long run timeframe up till 2025.
Major manufacturers operating in Russia???s glass lens space include Pentax Corporation (Japan), Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd (South Korea), Nikon Corporation (Japan), Carl Zeiss AG (Germany) among others who have strong presence across nation???s domestic landscape.
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a major impact on the Russia glass lens market. Demand for optical products and related components has declined significantly since March 2020, due to restrictions on movement and production caused by the lockdown. This has adversely affected demand for lenses from manufacturers as well as consumers, resulting in a decrease in revenue from sales of lenses. Moreover, most of the key players in this industry are small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which were impacted more severely than larger firms due to their lack of access to capital or other resources. While some of these SMEs resorted to layoffs or furloughs during the pandemic, others had no choice but to shut down operations completely due to financial constraints. In addition, disruption in supply chains led many Russian firms that rely heavily on imported parts from countries like China - which was one of the first countries affected by COVID-19 - to face significant delays or even cancellations when placing orders for such items. Furthermore, travel restrictions imposed across various regions further hindered businesses??? ability to source raw materials needed for producing glass lenses and hence hampered overall production capacity within this industry segment. Overall, it is expected that while there may be some gradual recovery seen over time with respect to Russia`s glass lens market post-pandemic, it will still take some time before fully regaining pre-COVID levels
