Safety Eyewear Market Growth & Trends

The global safety eyewear market size is expected to reach USD 5.31 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 3.9% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is poised for influential growth due to increasing awareness of workplace safety, stringent government regulations, and rising incidences of eye injuries in the industrial and construction sectors.

Companies focus on Offering Value-added Services and Solutions: Businesses can capitalize on opportunities by offering value-added services and solutions beyond just selling safety eyewear. This includes conducting safety assessments, training programs, and maintenance and repair services. Implementing subscription-based models for recurring purchases can also enhance revenue streams and cultivate enduring customer relationships.

This value-added service helps businesses reinforce their brand.

Strict Safety Regulations and Increasing Awareness are Driving Demand: Regulatory compliance and standards in the safety eyewear industry have become more stringent. Increased awareness among employers, employees, and regulatory bodies about protecting personnel from occupational hazards, including eye injuries, is driving the demand for suitable and high-quality safety eyewear. The global market is characterized by the presence of a number of well-established players such as Kimberly-Clark Corp., MCR Safety, Honeywell International, Inc., UVEX Winter Holding GmbH & Co., KG, Medop SA, and 3M Company.
