The Asia Pacific (APAC) eyewear market is experiencing strong growth, with 2024 valuations estimated at USD 48.27 billion and an expected CAGR of 10.7% , driven by rising demand for prescription glasses, sunglasses, optical frames, and contact lenses. Asia Pacific eyewear demand is fueled by increasing awareness of eye health, higher screen time, and an aging population in countries such as China, India, and Japan. Sunglasses, particularly polarized sunglasses, are witnessing rapid growth due to fashion and UV protection needs, while smart glasses, AR/VR eyewear, and blue light glasses are gaining traction among tech-savvy consumers. Kids eyewear is also emerging as a high-demand segment, supported by early vision screenings and parental focus on eye care. China leads the regional eyewear market with expanding domestic demand, rising fashion eyewear adoption, and enhanced optical retail infrastructure.
