Published Date: October 3, 2019

Extreme weather conditions propelling the luxury eyewear market demand

Extreme weather conditions in regions, such as Asia Pacific and the Middle East & Africa (MEA), coupled with the rise in the number of HNWI population in these regions are proliferating the global luxury eyewear revenue. The increasing health awareness related to the protection from UV rays among HNWI and upper-middle-class buyer groups is a major factor in the availability of UV protected sunglasses for high-end consumers. Consumers with high purchasing power tend to buy luxury sunglasses that protect eyes from harmful radiations such as Ultraviolet A (UVA) & Ultraviolet B (UVB). The growing trend among high-end consumers to lead a balanced and healthy lifestyle is contributing to the market growth.
