Sampling and multifocal emission drive rapid growth of artificial crystals
Benefiting from successful bid collection and gradual release of bifocal intraocular lenses, 2024H1's artificial lens revenue was 0.319 billion yuan, an increase of 30.20% over the previous year. The company is the first high-end refractive intraocular lens manufacturer in China. The products are diversified, covering spherical and aspherical single-focus intraocular lenses, functional intraocular lenses (including bifocals), and pre-assembled intraocular lenses; at the same time, aspheric trifocal astigmatism correction artificial lenses (eDOF) intraocular lenses were registered and accepted in August 2024. In terms of channels, the company has covered more than 3,500 hospitals in China and sold to more than 30 countries overseas. We believe that as the domestic aging trend intensifies and the industry penetration rate increases, the company's artificial lenses are expected to continue to grow with the release of the company's new products.
Rapid increase in production capacity drives high growth in contact lenses
2024H1's contact lens revenue was 0.183 billion yuan, an increase of 957% over the previous year, mainly due to the company's mergers and acquisitions of Tianyan Pharmaceutical, Fujian Youyou Kang, and Meiyuetong rapidly increasing contact lens production capacity and expanding the contact lens market. Currently, the color film production line is full. In the future, as the company's contact lens production capacity rises, profit margins are expected to increase, gradually contributing to the increase in performance. The company's corneal reshaping lens revenue was 0.113 billion yuan, up 6.89% year on year. The growth rate slowed down mainly due to factors such as downgrading consumption and increased competition. Revenue from other myopia prevention and control products was 40.88 million yuan, an increase of 64.77% over the previous year, mainly due to the rapid release of “Puno” and “Xinnuoti” defocus lenses.
