Moreover, the increasing demand for fashionable accessories among the young population is another major factor driving the growth of sunglasses in eyewear during the forecast period.

E-retailing and online advertising are gaining popularity in the market as key players are implementing online marketing and promotional activities. Online marketing and promotion provide customers with easy access and also help vendors reduce operational costs. This factor is expected to boost eyewear sales through online platforms over the coming years.
