Sunglasses are eye protection gear mainly used to protect against strong sunlight. Their main functions are to reduce strong light, block ultraviolet rays (UV), protect the eyes from solar radiation damage, and also have a fashionable decorative effect. They are composed of lenses with dyed or functional coatings and frames with fixed functions, and are widely used in outdoor activities, driving, leisure travel and other scenarios.
The sunglass industry chain is mainly composed of three links: upstream raw material supply, midstream product design and manufacturing, and downstream sales and services. According to CRI analysis, upstream raw materials mainly include lens materials, frame materials and other accessory materials. Lenses are the core components of sunglasses, and their materials are rich in variety, including resin, glass, nylon, etc. The midstream link mainly includes the design, processing and assembly of sunglasses. At this stage, some companies adopt OEM or ODM models for production, and more and more independent brands have established their own production systems. The downstream link covers sales and terminal services, and is an important channel connecting products and consumers.
The global market demand for sunglasses continues to grow, benefiting from multiple factors such as increased awareness of protection, upgraded fashion consumption, and the rise of outdoor activities. According to CRI analysis, with global warming and increased ultraviolet rays, people's attention to eye health continues to increase. As an important product for daily sun protection and ultraviolet protection, the functional demand for sunglasses continues to rise.
Especially in areas with strong sunshine such as Europe, the United States, and Australia, sunglasses have almost become a must-have daily necessity. In emerging markets such as Southeast Asia, India, and Africa, with the expansion of the middle class and the upgrading of consumption, the popularity of sunglasses is also steadily increasing. In addition, the fashion attributes of sunglasses have also greatly promoted their consumption growth. For example, the Vietnamese sunglasses market is continuing to grow.
In recent years, Vietnam's sunglasses production has shown a steady growth trend, which is mainly due to the global manufacturing transfer and Vietnam's local policies supporting light industry and export-oriented industries. According to CRI analysis, Vietnam's sunglasses manufacturing is mainly concentrated in industrially intensive areas in the south, such as Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong Province, and Dong Nai Province. These areas have a complete light industrial base, cheap labor, and convenient export ports, which are conducive to the formation of clustered production of sunglasses and other eyewear products. Some foreign-funded enterprises have set up factories in Vietnam to carry out OEM/ODM.
Vietnamese sunglasses are also actively exported overseas, with the export market mainly concentrated in Europe and the United States. According to CRI data, Vietnam exported about 1.7683 million pairs of sunglasses in 2024, with an export value of more than 7.4 million US dollars. Its main export markets include Singapore, Hong Kong, the United States and other countries. Overall, the Vietnamese sunglasses market still has great development potential and room for development.
CRI predicts that although Vietnam's sunglass manufacturing is still mainly OEM and has low technical content, Vietnam is expected to gradually improve its independent design and manufacturing capabilities in the field of sunglass in the future, driven by the continuous optimization of the global eyewear industry chain and the accelerated layout of foreign capital.
CRI recommends that global sunglass manufacturers and related investment companies conduct timely research on the Vietnamese market and prepare for the layout of the Vietnamese sunglass market. CRI's Shanghai, China and Hanoi, Vietnam offices will help foreign companies enter the Vietnamese sunglass manufacturing market.
