As the global eyewear industry enters a new growth phase, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are finding themselves in the spotlight. With rising consumer demand, digital transformation, and personalized trends reshaping the market, OEM suppliers have an unprecedented chance to expand their value proposition and partner closely with global brands.
Let’s explore where the global eyewear market is headed — and how smart OEM factories like Jingseyewear can position themselves for long-term success.
According to a recent report by Statista Research Department, the global eyewear market is expected to exceed USD 180 billion by 2028, driven by strong demand for:
Sunglasses (fashion + UV protection)
Prescription glasses
Blue light blockers
Smart eyewear
The Asia-Pacific region, in particular, is showing rapid growth due to urbanization, higher disposable incomes, and expanding digital lifestyles.
Markets in Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa are opening up. Rising middle-class populations are fueling demand for affordable yet stylish eyewear. Local brands in these areas often seek low-MOQ OEM partnerships to test product-market fit.
With platforms like Amazon, Shopee, and Tiktok Shop reshaping global commerce, new eyewear brands are emerging daily. These startups rely on flexible, fast, and scalable OEMs that can help them build custom collections and ship globally.
Today’s consumers don’t want one-size-fits-all designs. Brands are looking for:
Custom frame styles
Brand logo engraving
Eco-friendly packaging
OEM factories with in-house design teams and material innovation capabilities can cater to this demand effectively.
The integration of smart eyewear (e.g., AR glasses, audio-enabled frames) is gaining traction. OEMs that invest in R&D, CNC machining, and material diversity will be in a better position to serve tech-forward brands.
Buyers — especially from Europe and North America — are actively sourcing from factories that use eco-friendly materials like R-PET, bio-acetate, and offer carbon footprint reporting.
Geopolitical tension, rising tariffs, and customs regulations remain concerns. However, experienced OEM suppliers can mitigate this by offering:
Multi-market export experience
Compliance with CE, FDA, ISO, and other certifications
Flexible sourcing and cross-border logistics options
OEM manufacturers can no longer afford to simply “produce and ship.” The brands they support expect more — and rightly so.
Offering design consultation and 3D sampling
Supporting dropshipping and warehouse stock
Providing marketing materials (photos, specs, usage videos)
Giving post-shipment product quality reports and traceability
