Examples of products made by these establishments are prescription eyeglasses (except manufactured in a retail setting), contact lenses, sunglasses, eyeglass frames, and reading glasses made to standard powers, and protective eyewear.
Industry trends:
The ophthalmic goods manufacturing industry (NAICS 339115) is currently experiencing several notable qualitative trends. A significant shift towards digitalization is occurring as companies integrate advanced technologies such as telemedicine, AI-driven diagnostics, and 3D printing. These innovations are enhancing precision, customization, and efficiency, thus improving patient outcomes and fostering customer loyalty. Additionally, there is a growing emphasis on sustainability, with firms adopting environmentally-friendly materials and manufacturing processes to meet both regulatory demands and consumer preferences for eco-conscious products.
Another key trend is the rise in demand for blue light-filtering lenses, driven by increased screen time and the ongoing pivot to remote work and digital lifestyles. This demand aligns with the broader health-awareness movement, where consumers are more proactive about eye health and preventive care. Moreover, direct-to-consumer (DTC) marketing strategies are gaining traction, bypassing traditional retail channels and utilizing e-commerce platforms to reach customers directly, offering personalized experiences and competitive pricing.
Looking forward, the near future holds promising opportunities for growth through continued technological advancements and the expansion of telehealth services. The industry is expected to further innovate with smart eyewear and augmented reality (AR) embedded solutions, addressing both vision correction and digital connectivity. Companies that prioritize adaptability, technological integration, and sustainability are well-positioned to capitalize on these evolving trends and maintain a competitive edge.
