Launch of New Products by TOP PLAYERS to Boost Eyewear Market

 Spectacles, Contact Lenses, Plano Sunglasses
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.

Eyewear Market - A Brief Market Research Overlook

Eyewear – Introduction & Product Segmentation

Eyewear is any item worn on or in the eye just to ensure vision correction or for other reasons which is mainly for cosmetic purposes. Normally, key eyewear products include spectacles, contact lenses and Plano sunglasses. A large percentage of the population is afflicted with conditions such as presbyopia, myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, and hence, the usage of spectacles is ideal for such people in these situations. Spectacles include frames, as well as lenses.

They are the conventional choice for compensating for visual inaccuracies such as hyperopia (farsightedness) or myopia (nearsightedness). In terms of demand and revenue, spectacles (spectacle lenses and spectacle frames) are the largest product segments of the Eyewear Market which were valued at over USD 63 billion in 2011.

On the other hand, Plano sunglasses are fitted with non-Rx lenses providing protection for the eyes against harmful UV radiation. They are equally effective and convenient to use, and will boost the overall demand in the coming years.


Due to worldwide economic recession, the eyewear market once experienced a sluggish growth rate. However, with the world economy returning to normal, the global eyewear market has enjoyed a burgeoning growth in the past few years. This growth is expected to witness a significant rise in the forthcoming years.

Eyewear: Market Attractiveness Analysis

Among the many sub-categories in the main eyewear market, the sunglasses segment is rapidly growing owing to the increasing awareness it stages in terms of benefits and trendy appeal in the accessories.


Another potential sector in the global eyewear market is the contact lenses segment. Contact lenses are easy to use, extremely convenient and hassle-free with respect to many aspects and considerations. The most preferred modality they are available is in the form of daily disposable and weekly disposable lenses which is the main reason it has become so desirable among the users. Contact lenses are definitely another major eyewear product gaining high-user acceptance across the globe. However, owing to the relatively lower retail prices of the contact lenses in comparison to other eyewear products, this is not expected to convert into high revenues in the coming years.

An expansion of the eyewear market is also mainly attributed due to children using spectacles and/or adapting to vision correction techniques at an early age.

Market Drivers

Due to changing lifestyle, extensive usage of computers, increasing awareness, rising formal employment, and acceptance of corrective or refractive surgeries to eliminate the use of corrective eyewear, a large percentage of the population is familiarized with different eyewear solutions. The number of individuals requiring prescription eyewear and using corrective eyewear is one of the major driving forces for the growth of this market.

Also, rise in the number of visual deficiencies amongst the constantly growing population has created high awareness regarding the importance of regular eye examinations and methods of elimination using corrective eyewear. Such are the factors that are expected to inhibit the growth of the global eyewear market in the next six years.

By Geography

North America is the market leader in eyewear. It accounted for over 30% of the global market share in 2011. Nevertheless, North America is gradually being replaced by other geographic regions such as Asia Pacific, particularly India and China. These countries are expected to be the fastest growing market in terms of revenue over the forecast period. Due to dense population and high degree of eyewear penetration in these locales, Asia-Pacific is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.0% from 2012 to 2018.
