According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Prescription Sunglass Market is accounted for $7.2 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $10.7 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period. Prescription sunglasses are specialty eyewear with light-filtering, UV protection, and vision correction features. They have specialized prescription lenses built into the frames of sunglasses, protecting users' eyes from damaging UV rays while enabling clear vision. These glasses eliminate the need to alternate between regular glasses and sunglasses, which are especially useful for driving, sports, and outdoor activities.
According to the Vision Council's 2022 study, adults over the age of 40 make up 60% of the consumer base for prescription glasses.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Growing prevalence of eye disorders
Rising screen time and digital device usage have escalated cases of visual impairments globally. Additionally, heightened awareness about UV protection and its role in preventing conditions like cataracts and macular degeneration further boosts demand. Prescription sunglasses offer both vision correction and UV protection, catering to the needs of individuals with active lifestyles while addressing growing health concerns.
Restraint:
Competition from alternatives
The availability of alternatives, such as clip-on sunglasses or photochromic lenses, poses a restraint to the prescription sunglass market. These options are often more affordable and convenient for consumers who already wear prescription glasses. Additionally, advancements in corrective eye surgeries like LASIK have reduced the reliance on prescription eyewear altogether. Such factors divert potential customers away from prescription sunglasses, limiting market growth despite their functional advantages.
Opportunity:
E-commerce expansion
Online platforms offer consumers convenience, competitive pricing, and access to a wide variety of products. Technological advancements like virtual try-on tools enhance the online shopping experience by allowing customers to visualize how frames will look on them. This trend is particularly appealing to younger, tech-savvy demographics and facilitates market penetration into regions with limited access to physical retail stores.
Threat:
Counterfeit products
Counterfeit products pose a significant threat to the prescription sunglass market by undermining consumer trust and brand reputation. These fake products often fail to meet safety standards, lacking proper UV protection and durability. The proliferation of counterfeits in online marketplaces not only affects legitimate manufacturers' revenues but also risks consumer health.
Covid-19 Impact:
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted supply chains and reduced foot traffic in optical retail stores, negatively impacting sales of prescription sunglasses. However, increased screen time during lockdowns led to a surge in eye strain-related issues, driving demand for corrective eyewear. E-commerce emerged as a crucial channel for sales during this period, with virtual try-on technologies gaining popularity. As restrictions eased, outdoor activities resumed, boosting demand for prescription sunglasses that combine vision correction with UV protection.
The single vision segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The single vision segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period due to its widespread use for correcting specific vision issues like myopia or hyperopia. These lenses provide clear vision at a single distance, making them ideal for daily activities such as driving or reading outdoors. Their affordability and simplicity contribute to their popularity among consumers seeking effective solutions for individual visual impairments.
The online channels segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Over the forecast period, the online channels segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate due to increasing consumer preference for convenient shopping experiences. E-commerce platforms offer extensive product ranges, competitive pricing, and advanced features like virtual try-ons that simplify decision-making. Online channels are particularly appealing to younger demographics seeking personalized options and seamless delivery services. Additionally, the growing adoption of smartphones and internet penetration further accelerates this trend.
Region with largest share:
During the forecast period, the North America region is expected to hold the largest market share due to high disposable incomes and advanced healthcare infrastructure supporting eye care solutions. The region's aging population contributes significantly to demand for prescription sunglasses as age-related vision impairments rise. Additionally, increased awareness about UV protection and strong retail networks ensure steady sales growth in this region.
Region with highest CAGR:
Over the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR owing to its large population base and rising prevalence of myopia among children and young adults. Urbanization and increasing disposable incomes drive demand for high-quality eyewear solutions in countries like China and India. The rapid expansion of e-commerce platforms in this region further enhances accessibility to prescription sunglasses, supporting robust market growth.
