The global sunglasses market size is expected to reach USD 48.19 billion by 2030., expanding at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2023 to 2030. The key drivers of the market include advanced and improved products and services that meet specific client needs. Additionally, increasing consumer inclination toward well-designed and quality products to increase their outfit and style has increased the demand for sunglasses. Customers are more expected to buy new products than old ones. Manufacturers' advanced breakthroughs have allowed them to present sunglasses with extra utility. Counterfeit products negatively impact the sales and pricing strategies of major players' offerings, thus hampering the growth of the market.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the market. The COVID-19 pandemic affected manufacturing activities and disrupted the distribution network of the market internationally. The government’s strict limitations and guidelines regarding social distancing and complete lockdowns had led to huge losses for the companies operating in the market. All the major brand outlets and other sales channels were closed for the lockdown period. The future of the market depends on the digitization of the supply chains in the sunglasses industry all over the world.
Non-polarized sunglasses accounted for the largest share of over 70.0% in 2021. This is due to their effectiveness in different environmental conditions. Consumers buy sunglasses owing to their fashion proportion, and polarization is only a relevant criterion for individuals that need targeted usage, such as for cycling. It is a popular choice for customers globally owing to its easy accessibility in both offline and online channels.
Europe dominated the global market and held a share of over 35.0% in 2021. This is attributed to the presence of leading industry players and the high disposable income of buyers in the region. An increase in awareness regarding unsafe UV beams among buyers is a key factor that is credited to the popularity in the region. The large percentage of spectacle wearers, along with booming retail prices of frames, will drive the market in this region.
Key players operating in the market are focused on offering high-quality sunglasses in new frame styles as well as lens colors to attract customers. For instance, MaumiJi, Inc. offers polarized reading sunglasses that are manufactured using bifocal lenses and are specially designed to read in intense sunlight.
