Sunglasses Market

Sunglasses Market Summary

The global sunglasses market size was valued at USD 43.03 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 111.61 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 10.1% from 2026 to 2033. The rising popularity of eyewear, particularly sunglasses, as an essential part of modern lifestyle, is projected to drive the demand for sunglasses over the forecast period.

High-end designers and fashion houses have incorporated sunglasses into their collections, turning them into coveted items. Iconic fashion brands such as Gucci, Prada, and Chanel have produced eyewear lines, making sunglasses a practical accessory as well as a style statement. Celebrities and influencers often sport these designer shades, further reinforcing their status as a fashion essential. Various organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO), are actively raising awareness about the detrimental impacts of UV radiation. They are crafting guidelines and suggestions to safeguard against excessive sun exposure. The American Academy of Ophthalmology advises appropriate eye protection, such as sunglasses with UV-blocking capabilities, to shield the eyes from the potential harm caused by prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays.

Furthermore, Prevent Blindness, an eye health and safety organization, has designated May as Ultraviolet Awareness Month with an aim to educate the public about the heightened risk of various conditions, ranging from corneal sunburns to diseases like cataracts and eye cancers. Furthermore, consumers are increasingly willing to spend more on branded, expensive sunglasses to make unique fashion statements. Manufacturers are responding to these trends by offering sunglasses in a range of styles, colors, and shapes to cater to consumer preferences.

For instance, in July 2023, Luxottica partnered with Eastman Kodak to include Kodak products in the Luxottica brand by January 2024. The brand will manufacture optical products for Kodak and will also undertake servicing for the same. Since Kodak is an iconic brand with good brand value, it will help Luxottica leverage its brand position. The fashion industry has been pivotal in popularizing sunglasses as a must-have accessory.

In October 2023, Meta Platforms and Ray-Ban, a brand from Luxottica Group, partnered to introduce the second-generation Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses featuring AI technology. These smart sunglasses come equipped with an integrated speaker, a 12MP camera, and a five-microphone system, offering users the capabilities of live streaming, music playback, messaging, and phone calls.

Moreover, the rise of social media and the constant sharing of personal photos have also contributed to the acceptance of sunglasses as a lifestyle accessory. People now view sunglasses as a way to express individuality and enhance their overall look. Whether oversized, retro, or minimalist frames, sunglasses can add a touch of sophistication, mystery, or glamour to one's appearance. They have become an essential part of the modern selfie culture, and people take great care in selecting the perfect pair to complement their outfits.
