Sports sunglasses blending performance with fashion are witnessing significant popularity among not only athletes but also fashion-conscious individuals engaging in outdoor activities. Younger generations, especially Gen Z and millennials, are seeking versatile sports sunglasses that can be worn during sports and in casual settings. In addition, the booming trend of athleisure is driving style innovations and surging the demand for sports sunglasses with unique frame shapes, bold colours, and sleek designs.
Increasing demand for comfortable and versatile sports sunglasses; rising trend of customisation and personalisation; advanced technologies in sports sunglasses; and surging emphasis on sustainability are favouring the sports sunglasses market expansion.
There is an increasing demand for sports sunglasses that offer improved durability and comfort. Hence, key players are utilising advanced materials such as polycarbonate and TR90 in lenses and frames of sports sunglasses due to their lightweight, flexibility, and excellent impact resistance.
Athletes are increasingly demanding personalised eyewear with customisable features such as temple tips, adjustable nose pads, and lens options that cater to their unique preferences and needs and enhance their functionality and comfort.
Modern sports sunglasses typically integrate advanced polarisation technology to improve visual clarity and reduce glare, making them ideal for athletes involved in outdoor activities such as running and cycling. The integration of photochromatic lenses and advanced UV protection technologies into sports sunglasses to reduce eye strain, improve visibility, and prevent long-term eye damage is anticipated to drive the market in the coming years.
With sustainability emerging as an important metric in consumer choices, there is a growing preference for sports sunglasses that are made with recyclable and biodegradable materials like bamboo and hemp bioplastics and utilise eco-friendly packaging. To capitalise on the growing environmental consciousness, key players are also adopting energy-efficient manufacturing processes to lower energy consumption and minimise waste.
Premium sports sunglasses increasingly feature carbon fibre as their frame materials, offering excellent strength-to-weight ratios ideal for weight-conscious sports like running or cycling. Moreover, advancements in material sciences are likely to drive the development of durable and ultra-light frames and lenses to enhance comfort during long events or training sessions and ensure stability during vigorous activities.
In the forecast period, key players are expected to develop sports sunglasses with sensors and augmented reality (AR) or HUD capabilities to monitor performance metrics like distance travelled, heart rate, cadence, and speed as well as project data like navigation, speed, and heart rate directly onto the lenses. The integration of bone-conduction audio technology in sports sunglasses to enable athletes to stay aware of their surroundings is anticipated to fuel the market in upcoming years.
