UK Eyewear Product Sector Analysed by Euromonitor in Topical Research Report Available at MarketPublishers.com
14 Feb 2014 • by Natalie Aster
LONDON – In 2013, the UK market for eyewear products remained weak. Eyewear purchases are being postponed by the majority of current consumers, as spectacle replacements are not deemed to be essential and are sometimes thought to be rather expensive. The situation with contact lenses is better as these purchases are more difficult to defer. Eyewear production is mainly handled by a small group of large multinationals, who own practically all familiar brands in the domain. In the contact lens segment, the US pharma companies take the lead, cashing in on innovation and scientific progress. Specialist optical retailers remain the primary retail channel, as the existing regulations in the UK eyewear marketplace do not allow the prescription of spectacles and contact lens sales from those who are not registered, certified, and officially trained.
Moving forward, the overall domestic economy performance is forecast to be rather weak. Hence, consumers will most likely keep on putting off their purchases, which will in turn continue to drag eyewear prices down. In the long run, owing to increased life expectancy, the rates of myopic progression are set to soar, which is poised to underpin sales amid the revival of economy.
