Growing Safety Concerns among Workforce and New Regulations to Fuel Demand for Prescription Glasses
Prescription safety glasses are extensively used in both industrial setting as well as non-industrial environments. The adoption of prescription safety glasses is on the rise, particularly in industries, including manufacturing, automotive, construction, mining, and healthcare, among others.

Another major factor that is projected to boost the demand for prescription safety glasses during the forecast period is the significant rise in the number of individuals with vision deficiency. Adoption of prescription safety glasses among sportspersons, particularly involved in shooting, hunting, cycling, adventure sports, has witnessed a considerable surge in recent times due to which the market for prescription safety glasses is set to grow at a steady pace in the coming years. The strides taken by the e-Commerce sector is expected to provide companies involved in the prescription safety glasses market an ideal platform to enhance sales. At the back of these factors, the global prescription safety glasses market is expected to attain a value of ~US$ 861 Mn by the end of 2027.
