  • Published Date: October 3, 2019

Luxury Eyewear Market size is set to surpass 96 million units with industry revenue of approx. USD 52 billion by 2025; according to a new research report by Global Market Insights Inc.
 

Luxury eyewear is the eyewear which are exclusive, specially designed and engraved with precious metals such as diamond, gold and platinum. This eyewear represents luxury, individuality and high social status. Consumers tend to buy luxury eyewear which best suits their persona.
 


The luxury eyewear market is expected to witness significant growth from 2019 to 2025 due to the increase in the number of High-Net-Worth Individual (HNWI) population coupled with the growing wealth and high living standard. Rapid digitization, celebrity influence, and inclination toward trending fashion are supporting the spending of millennials and generation Z toward luxury eyewear. Superior product quality and personalization, high-end build material, and special edition & designer products are the major purchasing standards for eyewear products among HNWI population. Growing tourism in the countries, such as Japan, Switzerland, Thailand, and the UAE has contributed to the growth of major hubs of luxury shopping including eyewear. European countries including Italy and France are the prominent fashion hubs and home to key market players, which will also support market growth in Europe.
 

However, lack of skilled labor force in developing economies including South Africa and China is anticipated to decline industry revenue. Low economic growth, the declining wealth of HNWI population, counterfeit products, and socio-political barriers are restraining industry growth.
 

Extreme weather conditions propelling the luxury eyewear market demand

Extreme weather conditions in regions, such as Asia Pacific and the Middle East & Africa (MEA), coupled with the rise in the number of HNWI population in these regions are proliferating the global luxury eyewear revenue. The increasing health awareness related to the protection from UV rays among HNWI and upper-middle-class buyer groups is a major factor in the availability of UV protected sunglasses for high-end consumers. Consumers with high purchasing power tend to buy luxury sunglasses that protect eyes from harmful radiations such as Ultraviolet A (UVA) & Ultraviolet B (UVB). The growing trend among high-end consumers to lead a balanced and healthy lifestyle is contributing to the market growth.
