Eyewear Market Grow with a CAGR of 8.45% through 2030

The Global Eyewear Market is growing due to rising vision problems, increased screen time, growing fashion consciousness, and technological advancements in lenses and frames.

According to TechSci Research report, “Eyewear Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the global Eyewear Market stood at USD 201.42 Billion in 2024 and is expected to grow USD 327.79 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 8.45% during the forecast period. The global eyewear market today sits at the convergence of health, lifestyle, and digital innovation. Escalating screen exposure linked to remote work and entertainment has intensified concerns over eye strain, while ageing populations in both developed and emerging economies are driving steady demand for corrective lenses. Simultaneously, consumers increasingly view eyewear as a fashion-forward accessory, prompting brands to refresh styles more frequently and collaborate with luxury houses, streetwear labels, and sports franchises. Heightened environmental awareness has added another dimension, spurring experiments with bio-acetate, recycled metals, and take-back schemes as mainstream players race to align with circular-economy goals. Together, these forces have turned eyewear from a largely utilitarian category into a dynamic sector at the crossroads of wellbeing, self-expression, and sustainability.

Underlying demand is reinforced by structural shifts in daily habits and demographics. Smartphone ubiquity and prolonged computer use have normalised blue-light-filter lenses and anti-glare coatings, creating new premium niches. Public-health campaigns and rising disposable incomes—especially across Asia and Latin America—are pushing more first-time wearers into the formal optical channel, expanding the consumer base beyond traditional urban core markets. At the same time, athletic and outdoor pursuits are booming, feeding brisk uptake of sport-centric frames that combine impact resistance, UV protection, and aerodynamic styling.

Technological progress is the market’s most disruptive catalyst. Major manufacturers and Big Tech are racing to embed audio, vision-enhancement, and augmented-reality functions into lightweight frames. EssilorLuxottica has committed to lifting annual smart-glasses output to ten million units by 2026, expanding production in China and Southeast Asia while deepening collaboration with Meta and opening its platform to third-party brands and features.
