Core Viewpoint - The domestic eyeglass lens industry in China has significant potential for growth, particularly in high-refractive resin monomer materials and high-refractive lenses, driven by the trend of "domestic substitution" [2][3] Group 1: Current Market Situation - Despite being the largest eyeglass lens manufacturing country globally, China's brand value remains low compared to foreign brands, which dominate the retail market [4][5] - The core competition in eyeglass lenses is primarily based on manufacturing technology, while eyeglass frames also consider fashion and design elements [4] - The demand for functional lenses, particularly for preventing myopia in children and adolescents, has seen significant growth, with retail share increasing [5] Group 2: Future Outlook - The demand for eyeglass lenses in China is expected to grow steadily due to factors such as rapid population aging, high myopia rates among children and adolescents, and the anticipated widespread adoption of AI smart glasses [3][11] - The market is projected to maintain a "stable volume and increasing price" trend, with domestic brands likely to benefit from the increasing localization of resin materials and the rising popularity of functional lenses [8][11] - Although the total population may decline, the aging population and the persistent high rates of myopia among children and adolescents will sustain demand for eyeglass lenses [11][9] Group 3: Competitive Landscape - Domestic eyeglass lens manufacturers are expected to improve their market share and brand value as the localization of high-refractive resin materials progresses and consumer awareness of functional lenses increases [11][12] - The price increase in eyeglass lenses will be driven by the rising share of functional lenses and thinner high-refractive lenses, supported by improvements in consumer income and comfort [11]
