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. Moreover, leading brands as well as new entrants are constantly introducing eyewear with diverse shapes, sizes, designs, and colors and materials to suit the tastes of customers. Furthermore, the market players are increasingly using social media platforms for online marketing and promotion, which is favoring the market growth. Influencer marketing also plays a crucial role in eyewear brand endorsements.
Changing Lifestyle and Urbanization Leads to the Shopping of Trendy Accessories
Growing fashion consciousness and the growing presence of international eyewear brands in countries like Japan, and India will encourage the Asia-Pacific eyewear market in the forecast period.

Their eyewear products are readily available to urban customers through their online sales channels and third-party e-commerce platforms, while they also serve local customers in their physical stores. Therefore, fashion-conscious consumers and urbanization in Asia-Pacific countries are projected to drive market growth in this region.
