U.S. Protective Eyewear Market Size
U.S. Protective Eyewear Market was valued at USD 823.5 million in 2023 and is anticipated to register a CAGR of 3.3% between 2024 and 2032. The growth can be attributed to the rising awareness of eye safety, increasing safety regulations, and the expanding industrial sector. The U.S. has implemented several workplace safety laws through organizations, such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, seeking to protect workers from injuries and fatalities in hazardous environments. By imposing legal penalties on violators, safety laws have significantly lowered the probability of fatalities in many occupations.
Furthermore, the growing awareness about eye safety among U.S. workers and corporation’s results in a standardized market that adheres to industry rules. The emergence of novel materials, such as Tri vex, is modernizing the business; these materials are made from urethane polymers and are easier to mold into prescription eyeglasses than polycarbonates, which are normally injection molded.
The protective eyewear market in the U.S. is saturated with numerous players ranging from multinational corporations to small-scale manufacturers and distributors. This intense competition often leads to price wars and erodes profit margins, especially for companies with limited resources or brand recognition.
U.S. Protective Eyewear Market Trends
Eye injuries are common in workplaces. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) claims that around 2,000 workers in the U.S. suffer job-related eye injuries that require medical care every day. These injuries can be caused by a variety of circumstances including improper handling and exposure to hazardous substances. Scrapping, building, chemical laboratories, and electrical work are industries with a high risk of eye injuries.
U.S. Protective Eyewear Market Analysis
Based on product type, the market is classified into prescription and non-prescription. The non-prescription segment was crossed USD 551.1 million in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 706.7 million in 2032. Non-prescription safety glasses, commonly known as "Plano" lenses, are designed for people who do not have vision problems but require glasses to prevent injuries on the job. In cases where visual safety is an issue, prescription safety glasses are worn instead of the user's usual glasses. Non-prescription safety glasses can be worn over the wearer's usual corrective lenses instead of prescription safety eyewear. This safety eyewear is mostly used by laborers, city facilities management (civic) workers, police and military personnel, and heavy machinery operators. As the number of people who need corrective lenses is less, the market for non-prescription safety eyewear is likely to rise rapidly.
Based on application, the U.S. protective eyewear market is segmented into sports, defense, and industrial. In 2023, the industrial segment dominated the market with a share of 45% and is likely to exceed USD 467.5 million by 2032. Industrial manufacturing includes a variety of procedures that expose workers to hazardous chemicals, dust particles, and light radiation. This is increasing the demand for protective gear in the industrial production sector. Industrial manufacturing operations, such as chiseling, drilling, hammering, sanding, chipping, spraying, grinding, smelting, cutting, and welding, involve a high risk of eye injury, leading to increased product demand.
