In 2023, the production of non-plastic frames and mountings for spectacles and goggles in Italy stood at a baseline measure before embarking on a declining trajectory. From 2024, forecast data predicts a year-on-year decrease, with values diminishing from 170.33 million Euros to 107.62 million Euros by 2028. A noticeable trend reveals a consistent shrinkage, reflecting an overall Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) indicative of long-term regression.

Looking ahead, key trends to monitor include:

The impact of technological advancements, such as 3D printing and smart eyewear, which might shift production preferences away from traditional, non-plastic materials.
Demographic changes that could affect demand, including aging populations and increased screen time, driving the need for functional eyewear solutions.
Environmental considerations that might encourage sustainable practices, influencing material choices and potentially revitalizing the demand for non-plastic options.
