Market Overview.. 66% of the UK population wear glasses (on average 60% throughout Europe ). The UK optical market has an annual retail value of approximately £3.0 billion. The sector is characterised as mature with annual growth barely exceeding the rate of inflation. The marketplace is dominated by four high street multiples: Specsavers (36%), Boots/D&A (11%), Vision Express (8%) and Optical Express (5%) with small chains and independents steadily losing market share.

Internet sales of prescription eyewear began in 2005 following partial de-regulation by the General Optical Council. We estimate the market penetration of internet sales for 2008 to be less than 1% (less than £30 million per annum).

However internet sales growth is non-linear and we forecast that the market share for internet sales will be between 3-5% by 2015 as consumer awareness, trust and familiarity with the internet channel and competitive price proposition grows.
