PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Rising disposable incomes and consumer aspirations to drive sustained growth in premium and luxury sunglasses
Retail value sales of sunglasses are expected to rise over the forecast period overall. The Indian economy is expected to support sustained growth in demand for sunglasses through the forecast period to 2030.
Smart sunglasses and tech partnerships set to transform India’s eyewear market
The role of technology in the Indian sunglasses market is expected to expand considerably during the forecast period, with smart sunglasses moving from novelty to mainstream interest. Recent partnerships between global tech giants and established eyewear brands, such as Meta's collaboration with Oakley and Ray-Ban, are bringing advanced features like AI-powered assistance, video capture, music streaming, and real-time notifications into everyday eyewear.
Sustainability in sunglasses is expected to emerge as a premiumisation driver in India
Sunglasses in India are still largely made from conventional materials such as plastics, acetates, and metal alloys, which are affordable but environmentally taxing. Globally, eyewear brands are shifting towards alternatives such as bio-acetates, recycled plastics, bamboo, and reclaimed ocean waste.
