Market Dynamics

Rising prevalence of eye disorders caused due to cycling is driving growth of the global cycling sunglasses market. By 2050, an estimated 7.32 million people in the United States will have Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG), according to U.S. government statistics.

According to National Eye Institute, 90% of sports-related eye injuries can be avoided with the use of protective eyewear, including safety glasses and goggles, safety shields, and eye guards designed for a particular sport.  The adoption of these sunglasses is increasing so as to prevent exposure to UV rays, dust, and contaminants present in the air. According to Coherent Market Insights, the revenue in the sunglasses segment in Europe amounts to US,994 million in 2018 and is expected to increase to 254.69 million during the forecast period. The sunglass sector is thus offering lenses with 99 to 100 % UV rays blockage and shield or wraparound designs to block most of the UV rays.

According to Coherent Market Insights, the global sunglasses market is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period, majorly due to technological advancements. For instance, Oakley, Inc. improvised its cycling sunglass lenses by increasing its field of vision and enhancing wrap-around curvature, while keeping the weight down to a 22 g. This helps to completely cover the eye and the area around it, thereby preventing exposure to UV rays and other environmental contaminants.

Premiumization offered by brands, owing to high cost of manufacturing these sunglasses in turn, poses as a major factor hindering growth of the cycling sunglasses market.

Market Outlook

Europe holds the largest market for cycling sunglasses, owing to high number of cyclists in the region. According to Coherent Market Insights, 19.6 million bicycles were sold across Europe in 2016. Rising awareness about eye disorders amongst the populace is fueling growth of the cycling sunglasses market in the region.

In Belgium, cycling is the basic mode of transport and preferred by most citizens. As the climate in the country is extremely cold, cyclists prefer using anti-fog cycling sunglasses for a clear vision. Furthermore, according to Coherent Market Insights, Belgium plans to build 15 new cycling routes by 2025. This in turn, is expected to increase the number of cyclists in the region. Thus, boosting the demand for cycling wear and in turn, driving growth of the global cycling sunglasses market.

Likewise, Italy is the fastest growing market for cycling sunglasses owing to the cycling race competitions held in the region, for instance The Granfondo MILAN - SAN REMO cicloturistica which attracts a lot of potential cyclists to participate in it every year owing to which the cycling wear and cycling sunglasses are purchased in abundance.
