The industry thus encompasses all the players and processes involved in the design, production, and retailing of eyewear. Globally, there are promising projections for market growth. The aging population and the consequent development of life expectancy worldwide is one of the variables responsible for the positive forecast of increasing numbers of people needing eyewear. In developed countries, estimates are growing even more, with about 70 percent of adults needing corrective lenses. The latter figure is reinforced by rising disposable income, which should continue to drive premiumization of the eyewear industry in all segments, especially among noncorrective eyewear. The Italian market specifically should also be influenced by demographic changes, channel proliferation (e.g., GDO, internet), and emerging fashion trends.[Safilo].
