Annual growth in the global eyewear market is expected to be robust over the next five years. Shifting consumer megatrends, transforming market structures and technological innovations are key drivers of this growth. Particularly, ageing is one of the most significant global demographic factors impacting eye care as the need for vision correction increases and becomes more complex as a person grows older. Additionally, increasing screen time especially among youngsters might cause more serious effects than previously thought, supporting the constant demand for preventive eye care.
