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.

Sunglasses Market Trends:
The increasing usage of sunglasses for outdoor activities to prevent exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays represents one of the major factors strengthening the market growth around the world. Expanding purchasing power and the rising preference for premium-quality sunglasses are also fueling the market growth. In addition, the growing participation in sports-related and recreational activities on account of the increasing health consciousness among people is driving the demand for sunglasses worldwide. Apart from this, product manufacturers are introducing novel variants that are incorporated with anti-glare, anti-fog, magnetic clip-ons, and customizable nose pads in sunglasses. They can also be personalized as spectacles using convex or concave lenses according to the eye power of the person, which is creating a positive outlook for the market. Furthermore, a considerable reliance on online tutorials, reviews, social media campaigns by influencers, and celebrity endorsements are increasing the overall sales of sunglasses and generating brand awareness among the masses.
