Spectacles segment accounted for the highest market share in 2022
Spectacles, lenses, and sunglasses are all significant segments of the eyewear market, and each has its own unique market dynamics. However, in terms of market size and dominance, spectacles (also known as prescription glasses) are the largest segment of the eyewear market. Spectacles are widely used by people of all ages and are often prescribed to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The increasing prevalence of vision disorders, coupled with the aging population, is expected to drive the growth of the spectacles market in the coming years. Moreover, technological advancements in lens materials, frames, and designs are creating new opportunities for innovation and product differentiation in the spectacles segment.
Lenses and sunglasses, on the other hand, are smaller segments of the eyewear market but are growing at a rapid pace. Contact lenses, in particular, are gaining popularity due to their convenience and comfort compared to spectacles. Additionally, the rising awareness about the harmful effects of UV rays on the eyes is driving the demand for sunglasses. The fashion aspect of sunglasses is also driving growth in this segment, with consumers looking for stylish and trendy options. Overall, while spectacles dominate the eyewear market in terms of size and revenue, lenses and sunglasses are gaining traction and are expected to continue to grow in the coming years.
The online stores segment is projected to exhibit the fastest rate of growth
Online stores have emerged as the fastest-growing distribution channel for the eyewear market. Online stores offer consumers the convenience of shopping from home, with a wide range of options and competitive prices. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has further accelerated the shift towards online shopping, as consumers seek to avoid crowded retail stores and maintain social distancing. Online stores also provide a platform for new entrants and smaller brands to reach a wider audience, creating a more diverse and competitive market.
While online stores are growing rapidly, traditional retail stores, such as independent optical shops and chain stores, remain an important distribution channel for the eyewear market. These stores offer a personalized shopping experience, with expert advice and fittings. Moreover, many consumers prefer to try on glasses before purchasing, making traditional retail stores an important option.
Ophthalmic clinics, which offer specialized eye care services, also play a significant role in the distribution of eyewear, particularly prescription glasses and contact lenses. In conclusion, while traditional retail stores and ophthalmic clinics remain important distribution channels, online stores are emerging as the fastest-growing channel, with the potential to disrupt the market and reshape the industry.
North America accounted for the largest market share in 2022
North America is expected to have the largest market share due to the increasing acceptance of vision care products in the region. The contact lens segment is likely to experience growth in Asia Pacific and Latin American countries due to the aesthetic appeal, while developed countries in North America and Europe may witness a dip in the adoption rate due to higher costs and maintenance.
In contrast, Asia Pacific is projected to follow North America in terms of revenue, driven by the higher population of people using eyeglasses for vision correction in China, Japan, and India, where ocular diseases are prevalent. The adoption of spectacles is estimated to increase in developing countries of Asia Pacific and Latin America due to the availability of cheaper eyeglass products and rising disposable incomes. The Middle East and Africa market is expected to grow slowly, while Latin America is predicted to grow steadily due to unmet demand for eyewear products.
