Strengthening Economy Makes UAE the Dominant Market in the Middle East

Among the different types of products in the Middle East eyewear market, the spectacle segment dominates with a leading market share both in terms of volume and market valuation. In terms of volume, it accounted for a substantial 61.0% of the market in 2014. In the coming years, however, contact lenses are likely to become the most promising product segment by registering an impressive growth rate. This is expected to result from the emergence and increasing popularity of colored and daily disposable contact lenses and increasing preference of contact lenses over spectacles due to rising disposable incomes in the region.

Geography-wise, UAE outshines all other regions in the Middle East eyewear market due to its strengthening economy, a sizeable proportion of affluent people, and easy availability of branded stuff, which has resulted in spiking demand for sunglasses and spectacles. It held a 38.2% share in the market in terms of overall valuation in 2014. Saudi Arabia trails UAE in the Middle East market. Both the countries are expected to retain their dominant positions in the years to come.

Rising Prevalence of Acute Myopia Stimulates Market

The increasing instances of acute myopia at younger ages, growing popularity of luxury brands among the growing crop of discerning consumers, rising fashion consciousness, and robust demand for contact lenses and planar glasses are some of the factors that have majorly contributed to the Middle East eyewear market. Another major market stimulant is the burgeoning middle class population in the emerging economies of Middle East, which is slated to up demand for high-end brands of sunglasses, contact lenses, and other types of eyewear in the region in the near future too. They are increasingly buying disposable contact lenses and frequently changing spectacle lenses, thereby filliping the market.

Popularity of Corrective Refractive Surgeries to Crimp Growth

A factor slated to counter the growth in the Middle East market for eyewear is the soaring popularity of corrective refractive surgeries such as photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Such surgeries reduce the need for spectacles and contact lenses and hence are likely to damp demand in the eyewear market in the near future.
