Spectacles in Hong Kong is projected to decline further during the forecast period, showcasing a demand issue in the local market. This erosion of domestic demand is not a temporary blip but rather a structural shift, as consumers grow accustomed to the convenience and cost savings of northbound consumption.
Hong Kong’s optical retail landscape is undergoing a structural transformation, marked by the decline of traditional neighbourhood opticians and the ascent of experiential, brand-driven concepts. While local shops face closures due to rising operational costs and cross-border competition, niche players like South Korea’s Gentle Monster, Japan’s Kaneko Optical, and Hong Kong’s local The New Black Optical are gaining traction through differentiated strategies that align with evolving consumer expectations.
The development of smart glasses in Hong Kong presents a prime opportunity for premiumisation in eyewear, leveraging Hong Kong’s tech-savvy local consumers and appetite for novel gadgets. As traditional spectacle sales flounder facing structural demand issues, smart glasses, combining advanced functionalities like augmented reality (AR), voice assistants, and health tracking, represent a high-growth whitespace, particularly among affluent professionals and early adopters.
