Report Description

The global eyewear market is expected to reach USD111.12 billion by 2026F, growing at CAGR of 5.83% during the forecast period. The global eyewear market is being driven by rising population, economic development, and consumer purchasing power. Most people experience vision problems at some point in their lives. Some are minor and go away on their own, while others are simple to treat at home. Others require the care of a specialist and prescription glasses to cure and overcome the problem. Furthermore, the growth is highly driven by the popularity of sunglasses as well as a rising sense of fashion among people. The market has been growing as diseases such as cataracts, myopia, and hyper myopia are becoming more common, and eye specialists prescribe spectacles after diagnoses to provide clear vision. As adults and children spend more time on digital screens, eyewear has become a daily requirement.
