Eyewear in Hong Kong continues to face challenges in 2025 due to sluggish tourism recovery and changing local consumption habits. Mainland China contributed to 68% of Hong Kong’s inbound tourism volume before COVID-19 in 2019, according to Euromonitor’s Travel system.
Eyewear in Hong Kong is experiencing a pronounced bifurcation between luxury and affordable segments. On one end, premium offerings continue to attract consumers through sunglasses and optical frames positioned as fashion statements, leveraging limited-edition collaborations and immersive retail experiences to justify their price premiums.
Johnson & Johnson maintains its number one position in overall eyewear in Hong Kong, primarily driven by the stable demand for its Acuvue contact lenses. Unlike spectacles and sunglasses, which face prolonged replacement cycles and significant pressure from retail declines, contact lenses benefit from habitual repurchases by regular users, providing Johnson & Johnson with a resilient revenue stream.
While Hong Kong has seen a wave of optical shop closures due to rising rents and declining foot traffic, these store-based retail outlets remain the primary purchase channel for eyewear. This persistence reflects the irreplaceable role of in-person fittings and professional optometry services, particularly for complex prescriptions like progressive lenses or myopia control glasses.
Eyewear in Hong Kong faces a persistently challenging outlook, with traditional assistive products like prescription glasses and contact lenses experiencing structural demand erosion. Across all age groups, growing emphasis on preventative eye care - from childhood myopia control to adult laser surgeries and senior cataract treatments shows reducing reliance on corrective eyewear.
