South Africa’s economy is likely to continue struggling into the forecast period, ensuring that many local consumers will search for ways to find the most competitive prices of spectacles. Some are starting to move online, armed with their prescriptions, to search for attractive deals, with some South Africans identifying Lensmart as a viable option after reading reviews.
Since the pandemic, many children’s eyesight has deteriorated due to prolonged exposure to digital screens via online learning platforms and various devices. Even post-pandemic, many schools and educational institutions now incorporate digital devices such as iPad, tablets and laptops as permanent tools within the curriculum.
Despite the increasing share of e-commerce within the category, optical goods stores is likely to remain the dominance distribution channel for spectacles in South Africa over the forecast period. This is because many consumers prefer to visit an optometrist where they are able to have an eye test, try on spectacles and obtain professional advise before making a decision.
