Key Growth Drivers
Increasing adoption of luxurious accessories among millennials, surge in visual impairment among children, and increasing geriatric population is positively impacting the market
- It is predicted that the rise in the geriatric population would accelerate the expansion of the eyewear market over the forecast period. Risks of eye issues and diseases are increasing among the elderly population as individuals live longer which is evident in both developed and developing countries. Like, myopia and hypermetropia in older adults are expected to rise, which will propel market expansion. As the use of multifocal lenses among the elderly population has increased over time, this development is predicted to further fuel the expansion of the eyewear market.
The increasing availability of cheaper products, limited awareness regarding eyesight problems, and stigma around wearing glasses limits the market growth
- In low and low-middle-income countries, demand for eyeglasses is an underfunded zone as a smaller number of individuals are aware of their poor vision and seek treatment. In actuality, despite a firmly established supply in a region, the demand for glasses is still low since there is less knowledge of vision problems, the therapies that are accessible, and the level of acceptability of the eyeglasses on the market.
The COVID-19 pandemic’s emergence has also had a favorable effect on the market. People spent more time on cell phones, laptops, and desktop computers as a result of the adoption of remote working models and online learning because of the lockdown constraints. Longer screen time encouraged consumers to purchase anti-fatigue and vision correction eyewear, which helped the Eyewear Market boost sales of anti-fatigue and blue light-canceling lenses.
Key Trends by Market Segment
By Product: The spectacles product segment held the largest market share in the Global Eyewear Market in 2021.
- The expansion of the spectacles segment can be attributed to higher consumer demand for the products brought on by the rising incidence of computer vision syndrome (CVS). This is mostly because more people use mobile phones and digital devices worldwide. The use of anti-glare and anti-fatigue glasses has been prompted by the rise in cases of CVS among youngsters due to the growing trend of online learning, particularly during the pandemic. Additionally, the demand for spectacles has increased as clear and colorful translucent glasses gain in popularity.
- The contact lenses market is expected to experience a high growth rate in the coming years. With the introduction of light-adaptive and multifocal toric lenses, it is anticipated to experience rapid growth in the ensuing years. These contemporary lenses adapt fast and seamlessly to various lighting situations, which lessens the irritation and dryness that contact lenses frequently cause. The continued study and creation of contact lenses with better looks and quality will boost the market’s expansion even more.
