Market Overview:

The global sunglasses market size reached US$ 36.4 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 49.3 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5% during 2023-2028.

Sunglasses are protective eyewear used to prevent bright sunlight and high-energy light, which is damaging and discomforting for the eyes. They are manufactured using different lens materials like glass, plastic, and carbon fiber. They are commonly available in polarized and non-polarized variants with tinted and non-tinted lenses, which makes them suitable for everyday wear. Polarized lenses are crafted to filter out light and minimize brightness from reflective or vivid surfaces. On the other hand, non-polarized lenses assist in reducing the intensity of the light. At present, the emerging trend of gifting unique items, such as sunglasses, in innovative packaging formats is gaining traction across the globe.
