By 2033, the eyewear market is projected to reach a valuation of US$291.00 billion, up from US$169.10 billion in 2023. With an anticipated increase in the population of individuals facing vision-related issues, the eyewear market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6% during the forecast period from 2023 to 2033.

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), 2.2 billion people worldwide suffer from poor vision as a result of frequent use of computers, tablets, and phones. This figure is anticipated to rise in the upcoming years as well. According to an additional estimate, if patients took the recommended medications and wore the appropriate glasses, 80% of these issues might be avoided or resolved. When taken as a whole, these data indicate that there is a global need for glasses among people.

People usually wear glasses to fix their eyesight problems caused by nearsightedness, uneven myopia or astigmatism. Besides these, it can also be suggested by eye doctors right away after the patient has had surgery on their eyes. With many parts of the world having older people, there will probably be a big increase in demand for eyewear. This is because old folks are likely to have problems with their eyesight.

Outside of doctor’s offices, glasses are now a big part of what people wear everyday in terms of clothing and style. Big companies are working with famous people from social media, stars and sports players to help advertise their glasses well. People who play sports and care about staying fit help make money for the eyewear business when doing adventure things.

Business Growth Drivers:

  1. Increasing Vision Problems: With the rise in digital device usage and aging populations, there is a growing prevalence of vision-related issues, such as myopia, hyperopia, and presbyopia, driving the demand for corrective eyewear.
  2. Fashion Trends: Eyewear is not just a functional accessory; it has become a fashion statement. Changing fashion trends and preferences for designer eyewear among consumers contribute significantly to market growth.
  3. Technological Advancements: Innovations in lens materials, frames, and coatings enhance the comfort, durability, and performance of eyewear, attracting consumers towards upgrading their glasses or lenses.
  4. E-commerce Growth: The proliferation of e-commerce platforms has made it easier for consumers to browse, compare, and purchase eyewear online, expanding the market reach and accessibility.
  5. Increasing Awareness: Greater awareness about eye health and the importance of regular eye check-ups have led to a higher adoption of eyewear products, especially among younger demographics.
  6. Corporate Wellness Programs: Employers increasingly include vision care benefits as part of their wellness programs, boosting demand for prescription glasses and contact lenses among employees.
  7. Expanding Geriatric Population: The aging population globally drives the demand for reading glasses, bifocals, and progressive lenses, as age-related vision impairments become more common.

Industry Restraints:

  1. High Cost of Quality Eyewear: Quality eyewear products often come with a high price tag, which can deter price-sensitive consumers from purchasing or upgrading their eyewear regularly.
  2. Counterfeit Products: The prevalence of counterfeit eyewear products in the market poses a challenge to reputable brands, impacting their sales and brand reputation.
  3. Limited Access to Eye Care Services: In certain regions, especially in developing countries, limited access to eye care services and optometric professionals can hinder the adoption of eyewear products.
  4. Health Concerns with Prolonged Screen Time: The increasing prevalence of digital eye strain due to prolonged screen time on computers and smartphones raises concerns about eye health but may not always translate to increased sales of eyewear products.
  5. Regulatory Hurdles: Strict regulations related to product safety, labeling, and manufacturing standards can pose challenges for eyewear manufacturers and distributors, particularly in terms of compliance and certification.
  6. Fashion Fads and Short Product Lifecycle: Rapid changes in fashion trends can lead to shorter product lifecycles for certain eyewear designs, resulting in inventory management challenges and potential losses for retailers.
  7. Environmental Impact: The production and disposal of eyewear products contribute to environmental concerns, particularly regarding plastic waste and carbon emissions, which may influence consumer perceptions and purchasing decisions.
