Transparency Market
Research (TMR), a market intelligence and research firm, has
published a research study on the Global
Eyewear
Market.
The report pegs the overall value of this market in 2011 at US$81.0
bn. Further, it predicts that the worldwide eyewear market will reach
a value of US$130 bn by the end of 2018.
Any product worn on
or over the eye can be termed as eyewear. It encompasses three major
product types: spectacles, contact lenses, and plano sunglasses. The
rapidly increasing wearer base, with a growing percentage of
presbyopes is the strongest driving force for the growth of the
eyewear market. In addition, the high renewal rate of lenses due to
frequent replacement cycles and changes in lens prescriptions is
expected to fuel the market over the forecast period.
The increasing
number of refractive surgeries such as LASIK (Laser assisted
in-situ keratomileusis) in order to reduce or eliminate the
individual’s dependency on prescription corrective eyewear is a
major factor inhibiting the eyewear market. These procedures are
becoming progressively more affordable for a large percentage of the
population. Additionally, there is a higher degree of awareness
regarding these surgeries, which is expected to act as a restraint on
market growth. However, refractive surgeries are still unaffordable
for many consumers, particularly in developing nations.

Increase in
disposable income is another factor that is expected to aid in the
growth and development of the eyewear industry. Players in the market
are attempting to target the mid-priced segment in order to increase
their customer base. The premium priced high-end segment enjoys
steady popularity in developed regions such as North America, but
does not experience high demand in developing geographies.
The supply chain for
eyewear includes participants starting from those involved in raw
material production until the final point of sale. These consist of
raw material manufacturers, eyewear product manufacturers,
distributors, and retailers; possible intermediaries include
healthcare providers, involved in the dispensing of corrective
eyewear.
The global eyewear
market has been segmented on the basis of product types, major
geographies, and distribution channels. North America is the largest
contributor to the market in terms of demand, closely followed by the
Asia Pacific region.
Some of the
major players in the eyewear market are Johnson &
Johnson, Luxottica, Safilo, CooperVision, Bausch & Lomb, Essilor,
and Hoya among others.
