The industry is to experience growing consolidation as players across the value chain seek to capitalise on these growth expectations. Prices are to become increasingly polarised as demand for affordable eyewear grows alongside renewed interest in the luxury segment.

Key ethical issues in eyewear
While cellulose acetate frames have often been promoted as an eco-friendly alternative to plastics, their production often involves the disposal of up to 80% of the acetate used. This waste then requires significant purification before disposal to reduce ecological harm. With most of the world’s frames produced in vast and opaque supply chains, between brands the safety of working conditions and waste disposal may vary as much as the quality of the frames themselves.
Additionally, the production of these frames, exposes workers to particularly toxic chemicals, risking long-term health consequences if adequate ventilation and protective clothing is not available.
However, beyond basic national origins, retailers have typically been unable to provide significant detail about the materials and processes employed in the manufacturing of the brands that they stock. This is partly a function of the industry’s characteristic opacity and lack of supply chain transparency. This represents an opportunity for players to lead on ethics and sustainability, rather than be pressed into following what may grow into an industry standard.
