The global eyewear market is propelled by the growing demands for corrective and prescription-based spectacles, especially among the geriatric population. For instance, the survey study of National Health and Ageing Trends conducted in the United States in 2021 states that 27.8% of United States adults aged above 71 years had vision Impairment. Thus, the higher prevalence of vision impairment among older age is raising the demand for spectacles in the market. Furthermore, an increase in consumer awareness regarding eye protection coupled with a rise in disposable income fuels the sunglasses market significantly. Moreover, the increasing demand for fashionable accessories among the young population is another major factor driving the growth of sunglasses in eyewear during the forecast period.

Over the past few years, the market studied has been witnessing a growing adaptation rate based on factors such as a rise in interest among consumers in opting for performance-oriented sunglasses due to the adoption of sunglasses for outdoor activities, inclusive of mountain biking, rock climbing, golfing, and inline skating, among others. For instance, according to the Outdoor Foundation, over 64 million people participated in outdoor activities in the United States in 2021, with hiking being the most popular. E-retailing and online advertising are gaining popularity in the market as key players are implementing online marketing and promotional activities. Online marketing and promotion provide customers with easy access and also help vendors reduce operational costs. This factor is expected to boost eyewear sales through online platforms over the coming years.
