Content of the study:MARKET OVERVIEW
1.1 Definition and presentation
Optics covers all the equipment worn by individuals to improve their natural vision. These include optical glasses, sunglasses and contact lenses. It should be noted that not all these segments necessarily follow the same seasonal pattern, with sunglasses sales peaking sharply in the summer months.
Globally, the optical market is driven by several structural factors that underpin demand. First and foremost, the world's growing population is creating additional demand for optical products, with growth concentrated in emerging countries. In developed countries, the use of screens from a very early age and living conditions are leading more and more young adults to develop myopia and to buy glasses. What's more, European countries are seeing their populations age, which further increases demand.
In Spain, the optical market is divided between eyewear production (prescription, sunglasses, contact lenses) and eyewear distribution, which can involve very different companies. The main optical distributors in Spain are : Alain Afflelou, Opticalia, Soloptical, Multiópticas and Visionlab, and the three cities with the most distributors are Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia.
