The eyewear market is projected to reach a valuation of USD 291.00 billion by 2033, up from USD 169.10 billion in 2023. With an increasing number of individuals experiencing vision-related issues, the market is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6% during the forecast period from 2023 to 2033.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), at least 2.2 billion people worldwide have vision impairment, and this number is bound to grow in the coming years due to individuals' reliance on digital devices like computers, tablets, and mobile phones. Along with this, there is another estimate which says that 80% of these impairments could be avoided or cured with proper eyewear and medications. All these factors collectively point to the remarkable demand for eyewear in the general population worldwide.

Eyewear is generally used to fix the refractive impairments in individuals caused due to myopia, heteromyopia, or astigmatism. Apart from these, it can also be recommended by ophthalmologists immediately after the patient has gone through eye surgery. With the aging population in most parts of the world, the demand for eyewear is likely to experience a considerable surge as the chances of vision-related problems are high in this demographic.

Aside from clinical applications, eyewear is becoming an important aspect of people's everyday clothing and fashion in their daily lives. Well-established brands in the market are collaborating with social media influencers, celebrities, and athletes to promote their eyewear collections effectively. Athletes and fitness enthusiasts engaged in adventure sporting activities are also significant contributors to the global revenue of the eyewear market.
