MARKET DRIVERS


“Increasing Prevalence of Ocular Disorders Likely to Propel Market Growth”


Over the past few years, there is an increase in the dependency on technology such as computers, laptops, and mobile phones. This has led to a rise in the incidence of ocular disorders associated with prolonged usage of the above mentioned technologies. However, owing to the increasing awareness programs regarding the disadvantages of technology, individuals have started adopting spectacles with a reflective coating. These reflective coatings protect the user's eyes from the blue light emitted from the screens of laptops, computers, and mobile phones.


According to an article published in the Asia Pacific Journal of Ophthalmology, there is a significantly higher prevalence of myopia in the East Asian countries. According to the article, around 80% - 90% of adults in these countries suffer from myopia. The rise in refractive errors among the population worldwide is estimated to augment the spectacles market growth.


Combined with this, the rising geriatric population across the world is estimated to drive the global market in the foreseen years. Due to the increasing life expectancy, there is a rise in the prevalence of refractive ocular disorders in the elderly population worldwide. Additionally, the surge in the accessibility of spectacles in online and retail channels has led to an increase in the adoption of spectacles among the elder population. Moreover, the rising usage of progressive lenses is also projected to create impressive growth opportunities for the market.


“Rising Adoption of Spectacles as a Fashion Statement to Drive Growth”


In developed countries such as the U.S., France, Italy, and the U.K., trendy premium spectacle frames have become a fashion statement. There is a surge in the adoption of premium eyewear even in some of the developing countries owing to increasing disposable incomes of the populaces. Additionally, the decline in the use of contact lenses and a shift towards the acceptance of spectacles are also estimated to impact the market growth positively.


Combined with these, marketing strategies adopted by the leading market players in this industry have significantly uplifted the spectacles market revenue. The competitive and wide product offering targeting different demographics have helped augment the market sales over the years. For instance, in December 2019, Carl Zeiss launched a new line of SmartLife eyeglass lens that are customizable for the working-class population who are dependent on smartphones and laptops. Newer technologies even incorporate 3D printing to manufacture lightweight and trendy frames.


SEGMENTATION


By Product Type Analysis


“Spectacle Frames Segment to Grow at a Fast Pace Owing to Rising Prevalence of Myopia”


Among the product type, the market is segmented into spectacle frames and spectacle lenses.


The spectacles lenses segment had held the dominant position in terms of spectacles market share in 2018 and is estimated to grow steadily during the forecast period. This growth is attributable to the increasing prevalence of hypermetropia and myopia. However, the rising adoption of updated and lightweight spectacle frames is estimated to be a major growth driver in the forthcoming years. The wide product offerings and high competition in providing value custom frames are increasing the acceptance of spectacle frames in the developed and developing countries.

Owing to the declining preference for contact lenses by the populaces and the increasing number of LASIK surgeries in the United States, the total number of adults opting for prescription spectacles have increased in the past years. Additionally, there is an increase in the number of people opting for spectacle frames as an accessory in the developed countries. This trend is estimated to boost the market value during the forecast period.


By Modality Analysis


“Prescription Segment to Lead Backed by Rising Awareness About Harmful Effects of UV Rays”


Based on modality, the market is bifurcated into prescription and over-the-counter.


Owing to the increasing geriatric population and the rising awareness regarding vision disorders, there is a significant rise in the adoption of prescription lenses. Additionally, over the past years, there is also a surge in the acceptance of prescription sunglasses owing to the increasing awareness about the harmful effects of ultraviolet sun rays. In the developing countries such as India, there is a decrease in the stigma associated with the use of spectacles. This trend is also estimated to increase the adoption of prescription lenses in the country. Moreover, an increase in the consultation for refractive errors experienced by different demographics is projected to drive the adoption of prescription lenses during the forecast period.


By Distribution Channel Analysis


“Retail Stores Segment to Dominate Stoked by Higher Availability and Accessibility


As per distribution channel, the market is divided into retail stores, online stores, and ophthalmic clinics.


The retail stores segment is projected to account for the highest share in the market during the forecast period. Higher availability and accessibility of spectacles in retail stores such as independent stores, brand chains, and wholesalers are estimated to drive this segment in the market. However, the increasing trend of purchasing from the e-commerce websites for over-the-counter vision care products is estimated to augment the growth of the online stores segment. Additionally, various branded product offerings and discounts on online websites are projected to be the major growth drivers.


REGIONAL ANALYSIS


North America generated a revenue of USD 27.59 billion in 2018 and is expected to hold the dominating share in the market during the forecast period. Factors such as higher awareness of the ocular disorders, increasing acceptance of vision care products, and preference for premium eye care products are estimated to boost the growth of the market in this region. Additionally, increasing affordability to buy premium frames is anticipated to fuel the global market value in this region. In addition to this, the rising trend of adoption of spectacles and fashionable frames is also projected to boost the market revenue in this region.

Asia Pacific is projected to be the second leading region in the market.

Additionally, the rising disposable income and upsurging affordability of vision care products are set to further augment the sales in this region. Moreover, there is an increasing prevalence of vision refractive errors in the countries located in this region. According to an article published in the Journal of Ophthalmology, an estimated 33% of the population in South East Asia suffer from myopia.
