Asia-Pacific Eyewear Market- Industry Size, Share, Trend Analysis, Outlook, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast, 2020-2027
Asia-Pacific Eyewear Market- Industry Trends & Forecast Report 2027 A recent study conducted by the strategic consulting and market research firm BlueWeave Consulting revealed that the Asia-Pacific eyewear market was worth USD 36.2 billion in 2020. According to the study, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 10.8%, earning revenue of around USD 73.6 billion by the end of 2027. The Asia-Pacific eyewear market is driven by the increasing prevalence of vision issues such as cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, glaucoma, refractive errors, etc. The increasing use of screen devices, such as smartphones, computers, and televisions, emitting UV light, is affecting human vision and weakening it. As a result, the demand for eye checkups and prescription glasses is witnessing a surge worldwide, propelling the market growth.
Growth Drivers Growing Prevalence of Ophthalmological Diseases The growing prevalence of ophthalmic diseases, such as low vision, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, cataract, etc., is one of the major factors fueling the demand for eyewear such as glasses and contact lenses. According to one estimate, 70 million of the world's glaucoma patients live in Asia alone. Additionally, the constant use of screens such as smartphones, computers, and televisions is causing eye-related problems among people of all ages. Due to this, the demand for eyewear in Asia-Pacific is anticipated to grow during the forecast period.
Restraints Growing demand for laser surgeries for vision treatment Prescription glasses are prominent among people with low vision but it proves to be only a temporary solution. Having to wear glasses all the time seems like a burden to many. Therefore, many financially capable people opt for laser surgeries. As per the study published in the Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 96% of patients are satisfied with the LASIK treatment as it offers a better vision as a permanent solution. As technology advances, more and more people are turning to one-time safe laser surgeries instead of eyewear. Hence, this may act as a major restraining factor for market growth.
Impact of COVID-19 The sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic initially halted the growth of the Asia-Pacific eyewear market. Several countries imposed strict lockdown protocols to curb the spread of the virus. Due to social distancing measures, ophthalmologists had to postpone routine eye checkups, which resulted in a temporary halt in prescription eyewear sales. However, the market is anticipated to witness prolific growth in the post-COVID-19 period. The remote working, online schooling, and excessive use of smartphones and other devices are estimated to have badly affected the vision of people during the quarantine period. Due to the easing of lockdown restrictions and the reopening of eye-testing facilities, the demand for prescription eyeglasses is expected to increase in the post-pandemic period.
Regional Insights Geographically, the Asia-Pacific eyewear market is segmented into India, China, Japan, South Korea, and the rest of Asia-Pacific. China is said to be dominating the Asia-Pacific eyewear market due to the increasing demand for corrective eyewear from the sizable elderly population. Furthermore, an astounding 80% of Chinese college-going students and 17% of Indian youngsters have been diagnosed as myopic. This plays a crucial factor in driving the eyewear market growth. Furthermore, the increasing penetration of luxury and popular brands in Asia-Pacific countries because of huge growth potential is also contributing to the market growth.
