Thailand's eyewear industry is expected to grow by 5% to 7.35 billion baht this year, after seeing a huge drop during 2020 and 2021.

According to Phaphan Phadungkiatskun, managing director of Eyelink Vision Co, an importer and distributor of eyewear brands such as ic!berlin and Dior, Thailand's eyewear market fully recovered last year, with double-digit sales growth in 2022 driven by pent-up demand and the easing of Covid-19 restrictions.
