DALLAS, November 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

MarketReportsOnline.com adds Global Eyewear Market Report: 2014 Edition research that says growing demand for contact lenses is one of the key factors leading to the growth of the global eyewear industry. The demand for lenses is driven by rapidly changing lifestyle, increasing diabetic population and rising urban population. One of the significant factors providing a tailwind to the global eyewear market is the rise in the aging population i.e. over 60 years. Some of the noteworthy trends of this industry include growing demand for kid's sunglasses, increased usage of silicone hydrogel, and innovative designs and fashion statement among others. Complete report is available at http://www.marketreportsonline.com/373597.html .

According to Global Eyewear Market Report: 2014 Edition research the purpose of these lenses is similar to that of the conventional glasses. Contact lenses are lightweight and virtually invisible. Aesthetics and cosmetics are often motivating factors for people who would like to avoid wearing glasses or would like to change the appearance of their eyes. When compared with spectacles, contact lenses typically provide better peripheral vision, and do not collect moisture such as rain, snow, condensation, or sweat. This makes them ideal for sports and other outdoor activities. Additionally, there are conditions such as keratoconus and aniseikonia that are typically corrected better by contacts than by glasses.

The global eyewear market has been categorized into corrective lenses, contact lenses, sunglasses, frames and refractive surgical lenses. The eyewear market has been showing tremendous potential since past several years. The major factor driving this market is increasing usage and acceptance of eyewear products and prescription eyewear. With a large percentage of the population afflicted with conditions such as myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, and astigmatism, the demand for corrective eyewear is on the rise. Due to lifestyle changes, which involve increasing formal employment and extensive usage of computers, the number of individuals using corrective eyewear is also increasing.

The key factors which are anticipated to drive eyewear market growth include increased usage of silicon hydrogel, eyewear fashion and growing demand of kid's sunglasses. The growth of the industry is hindered by sale of illegal novelty contact lenses, price differentiation between branded and unbranded frames and changing local conditions of various countries. The major factors which will contribute in the growth of the industry include growing ageing population since with age people get more eye problems, rising diabetic population, increasing urban population, and rapidly changing lifestyles. Diabetes also plays a key role in the eyewear industry. Due to the lifestyle of the population in the present era, diabetes has been regarded as one of the fastest growing diseases in both developing and developed countries. The increasing diabetic patients worldwide coupled with the increasing awareness amongst the people regarding health are expected to fuel up the global eyewear market in the coming years.

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the global eyewear industry, along with an in-depth study of the regional markets including the US, China, Japan, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Taiwan. Furthermore, market dynamics such as key trends and development; and challenges are analyzed in depth.
