The global eyewear market is worth billions of dollars and is projected to grow significantly in the coming few years. The global eyewear market is driven by the rising user base, increasing disposable income levels, and growing renewal rate of lenses. Another trend that is shaping the growth of the global eyewear market is the rising demand for eco-friendly eyewear. Many companies in the global eyewear market observing this business opportunity have launched their own eco-friendly eyewear range, while some new companies have entered the market with their green offerings.

The growing base of environment-conscious consumers is projected to drive the demand for green products in the global eyewear market. Hence, companies in the global eyewear market are competing on the basis of materials.

Bamboo is one of the common materials used to make eco-friendly eyewear. On the other hand, brands such as Urban Spectacles are using materials from naturally-felled trees. Certain companies are using materials that are derived from non-GMO, organic plants that are highly renewable and non-foodstuff.
Besides the rising demand for eco-friendly eyewear, players in the global eyewear market will also benefit from the opportunity presented by the large population living with uncorrected vision. Furthermore, the unavailability of testing in many regions of the world will also provide significant growth opportunities to companies in the global eyewear market.
Nevertheless, players in the global eyewear market will be restrained by the growing number of refractive surgeries. These surgeries are reducing or in some cases eliminating the need for contact lenses or glasses. This decreasing dependence on glasses is expected to hamper the growth of the global eyewear market by a great extent in the foreseeable future.
