Sunglasses Market Rising With Growth In New Technology Trends Research By 2025
The global sunglasses
market size is expected to reach USD 17.0 billion by 2025, according to
a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., expanding at a CAGR of 2.3% over the forecast period. The market is expected to
witness significant growth due to rising consumer preference for luxury and
premium sunglasses, along with increasing disposable income.
Non-polarized sunglasses accounted for
the largest market share in 2018 owing to easy availability and cheap pricing.
Moreover, these sunglasses are available in many dark shades, which protect the
eyes from the harmful sun rays. Polarized sunglasses are anticipated to expand
at the highest CAGR of 2.6% from 2019 to 2025. Apart from providing 100%
protection from the UV rays, these glasses also provide clear vision as compared
to non-polarized glasses. Increasing awareness concerning eye health and
harmful effects of sun rays and other emissions is expected to influence the
consumer purchasing decision.
Offline distribution channel dominated
the market in 2018. Many brands have their personalized stores worldwide to
provide customer service and increase their distribution in the market.
Customer preference to try out various pairs of sunglasses before purchasing is
driving the market demand in this segment. Online distribution is expected to
witness accelerated growth in the forecast period as manufacturers are
increasing their advertising and promotional activities via digital channels.
This distribution channel allows the manufacturers to reach out to a wider
audience in less cost.

competitive with a monopoly created by Luxottica Group. Various eyewear brands

Luxottica to expand its brand portfolio in the market
·
In January 2017, Essilor, one
of the major eyewear manufacturers, merged with Luxottica. This move was
initiated to expand Luxottica’s brand portfolio and improve market penetration
of Luxottica by leveraging Essilor’s target markets.
The
online channel is gaining momentum as manufacturers are focusing on product
marketing using various digital mediums. These digital mediums are mostly brand
websites, social media pages, or accounts. They enable manufacturers to reach
out to a wider audience and are cost-effective. Increasing services like
providing 3D try-on feature on the website are expected to fuel the growth of
this segment.
Additionally,
via such mediums, manufacturers are able to track consumer preferences and
introduce new offerings as per the latest trend without incurring heavy costs
on commercials. Manufacturers are also leveraging features of social media apps
for live engagement with their customers. Marketing campaigns focus on using
these platforms to announce product launches and create anticipation about new
products in the market.
Various
blogging agencies are hired to create a buzz and virtual word-of-the-mouth
promotion for the brands. These initiatives are undertaken to attract customers
and boost product sales. However, authenticity of these platforms is a key concern
of the customers, which may act as a potential risk to the market in future.
Non-polarized sunglasses accounted
for the largest revenue share of 71.4% in 2018. Non-polarized lenses are
majorly available in all offline stores in a variety of tinted glasses and
shapes. They are relatively cheap and serve the purpose of adding style to the
customer’s look as well as the dark shade reduces the intensity of light. Due
to lack of knowledge among consumers regarding the type of eyewear suitable for
them, this segment is expected to continue its lead over the next few years.

Polarized
sunglasses are expected to emerge as the fastest growing segment, expanding at a
CAGR of 2.6% in 2025. Polarized lenses offer 100% protection against UVA and
UVB rays. This helps in preventing damage to eyes in the sun. They also provide
a clear vision as compared to non-polarized lenses. However, these lenses do
not perform well in front of LCD screens. They reduce the visibility of the
image produced by cell phones, GPS devices, or other flat LCD screens.
This
type is suitable for people with outdoor professions or professions that
involve looking at screens regularly. Overall, many customers are now shifting
to polarized glasses due to increasing awareness regarding vision loss and
other eye damages caused by harmful sun rays or light emissions. This is
contributing to the rapid growth of the segment, thereby driving market demand.
