The Top 10 Fastest-growing DTC Eyeglasses Brands

Direct-To-Consumer, or DTC in short, are products or services that are financed, designed, produced, marketed, distributed, and sold by the same company. They bypass the middleman and connect directly to consumers.

These products or services include everything from food and beverages to clothing, to eyewear.

DTC eyewear companies are passionate about creating all sorts of prescription eyewear and sunglasses. These brands care deeply about eliminating the pain point of high prices for eyewear and accessories that almost everyone needs.

By bypassing traditional methods, designing glasses in-house, and engaging with customers directly, these companies do a great job of providing higher-quality, better-looking eyewear at a fraction of the standard industry price.

Furthermore, according to Cision PR Newswire, the global market for eyeglasses is estimated at $139.9 Billion in 2020 and is projected to reach a revised size of $197.2 Billion by 2027. So, it’s no wonder that the eyeglasses market is one of the fastest-growing markets today.
