Euromonitor’s 2025 Global Consumer trends reflect consumer sentiment shaped by ongoing global challenges such as immigration and climate change, and of course, continued cost-of-living pressures remain a major concern, with three-quarters of consumers still worried about increasing everyday expenses.* As a result, consumers are taking a more cautious and long-term approach.

Learning outcomes: Optical businesses must adapt to these shifts in consumer behaviour and purchase motivations.  Today's session will be instrumental in addressing this essential strategy, encouraging optical businesses to adopt these approaches to advance their practice.

Join us as Natasha Cazin, Senior Consultant at Euromonitor, kicks off the discussion with a compelling 10-minute presentation on Euromonitor’s Top Global Consumers and their impact on the Eyewear industry. Executive Editor Daniel Feldman will then moderate a dynamic panel discussion featuring Author and Entrepreneur Garry Kousoulou, and Sea2See Founder and CEO François van den Abeele.
