The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the Nordic eyewear market growth in several ways. The closure of ophthalmic clinics and retail stores for an extended period due to lockdowns and safety measures has led to a decrease in foot traffic and, consequently, a decline in sales revenue for many eyewear retailers and manufacturers. The postponement of non-urgent eye examination appointments has further contributed to the decline in sales, as many consumers have delayed purchasing new eyewear without updated prescriptions.

Since, disruptions in the manufacturing and transportation of eyewear products, including spectacle lenses, contact lenses, and sunglasses, have also played a role in the Nordic eyewear market growth. Supply chain disruptions, restrictions on international trade, and logistical challenges have made it difficult for companies to produce and distribute eyewear products efficiently. Overall, the combination of these factors has resulted in a challenging year for the Nordic eyewear market expansion in 2020, with many players experiencing a significant downturn in sales and revenue.  

 

Nordic Eyewear Market Dynamics

Market Drivers

Technological advancements in materials

Innovations in lens materials, coatings, and designs have revolutionized the eyewear industry, offering consumers a wide array of benefits. Advanced lens materials, such as high-index plastics and Trivex, provide thinner and lighter lenses, enhancing comfort for users. Anti-reflective coatings reduce glare and improve visual clarity, especially in bright environments. Scratch-resistant coatings increase the durability of lenses, ensuring longer-lasting eyewear. Additionally, photochromic lenses that darken in response to sunlight offer convenience and protection from UV rays. Design innovations, such as rimless and semi-rimless frames, provide a sleek and modern aesthetic, appealing to fashion-conscious consumers. These advancements have not only improved the functionality and durability of eyewear but also enhanced its overall appeal, driving more consumers to upgrade their glasses.

Awareness and education of regular vision check-ups

Growing awareness about the importance of eye health and regular vision check-ups has led to a shift in consumer behavior towards investing in prescription eyewear. People are increasingly recognizing the impact of eye conditions on their overall health and quality of life, prompting them to prioritize eye care. Regular vision check-ups are now seen as essential preventive healthcare measures, encouraging individuals to get their eyes tested and obtain prescriptions for corrective lenses when needed. This trend is driving the demand for prescription eyewear, including glasses and contact lenses, as more people seek to address vision issues and maintain optimal eye health. Additionally, the availability of a wide range of stylish and functional eyewear options has made it easier for consumers to embrace prescription eyewear as a practical and fashionable accessory.

Market Restraints

Cost associated with prescription eyewear

One of the main restraints for the Nordic eyewear market opportunity is the high cost associated with prescription eyewear. Many people, especially in developing countries or regions with limited access to healthcare, may find it difficult to afford eyewear, leading to a barrier in obtaining necessary vision correction. Additionally, the lack of awareness about the importance of regular eye check-ups and vision care in certain demographics can limit the Nordic eyewear market development. Moreover, the presence of counterfeit or low-quality eyewear products in the market can undermine consumer confidence and hinder the growth of reputable eyewear brands. Lastly, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, with its economic uncertainties and restrictions on retail operations, has also posed challenges to the Nordic eyewear market growth.

Nordic Eyewear Market Segmental Analysis

By Product Analysis

  • The contact lenses segment accounted for a significant revenue share in 2023 and is poised for substantial growth in the future. This growth is fueled by the introduction of advanced products like light-adaptive lenses and multifocal toric lenses. These innovative lenses are designed to adapt swiftly and seamlessly to varying lighting conditions, minimizing the irritation and dryness commonly associated with traditional contact lenses. Continued research and development efforts aimed at enhancing the aesthetics and quality of contact lenses are expected to bolster the segment's expansion.
  • The spectacles segment accounted for the major revenue share in 2023 and is expected to retain its position throughout the Nordic eyewear market forecast period. Attributed to the growing prevalence of computer vision syndrome (CVS) caused by the increased use of mobile phones and digital screens worldwide. This trend has been further exacerbated by the rise in online learning and smart eyewear technology, particularly during the pandemic. Consequently, there has been a notable increase in CVS cases among children, prompting a greater adoption of anti-glare and anti-fatigue glasses.

By Distribution Channel Analysis

  • The brick and mortar segment holds significant revenue share in 2023. This was driven by the growing awareness of the importance of regular eye checkups and the use of eyeglasses, leading to increased sales through physical stores. Many companies are focusing on expanding their brick and mortar presence to enhance their competitiveness. For instance, in November 2023, the Cult Swedish brand entered the Indian market in collaboration with the BRDG Group, offering a collection of 11 signature silhouettes to cater to various tastes. The segment experienced a slight decline in revenue share during the pandemic due to lockdown restrictions in several countries. However, with the easing of these restrictions and a higher consumer preference for physical stores, the segment is expected to witness growth in the foreseeable future.
