Asia Dominates Manufacturing: Asian countries and regions including China, South Korea, Japan, and Hong Kong collectively account for approximately 35% of the market, demonstrating Asia’s formidable manufacturing and design capabilities in the eyewear industry. Among mainland Chinese exhibitors, enterprises from Wenzhou constitute nearly half, highlighting the sustained prominence of industrial cluster effects.
