PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Further steady growth anticipated for forecast period
Sales of spectacles in South Korea are expected to grow steadily during the forecast period. Factors such as increased digital device usage, leading to earlier onset presbyopia, have spurred demand for progressive lenses.
Rising importance of functional spectacle lenses
The importance of functional spectacle lenses is growing increasingly evident. Consumers are seeking eyewear solutions that not only correct vision, but also offer additional benefits, such as blue light and ultraviolet protection, and fatigue relief.
Growth in retail e-commerce driven by spectacle frames and non-prescription lenses
In South Korea, the sale of prescribed spectacle lenses online is still prohibited, while spectacle frames and spectacles without prescribed lenses are allowed to be sold online. An increasing number of consumers are turning to online platforms to purchase spectacle frames and non-prescription lenses, seeking the convenience and broader selection available through retail e-commerce channels, and this trend is set to continue.
