Metal frames are basically the classic in the glasses world, they are like what a Ford Thunderbird is to the car world. They are the most durable. They come in variety of metals, including titanium, flexon, and stainless steel. These frames typically have more options available when it comes to texture, patterns and colors. The great option is flexon, which is considered a memory metal. It is strong, flexible, lightweight and hypoallergenic, perfect for the athlete (or those of us who want to pretend that we are athletes). There are stainless steel frames. These frames are also lightweight and corrosion resistant and great for a budget friendly person.
Metal is expected to surpass USD 30 billion by 2024. Increasing preference for thin and lightweight material is anticipated to propel demand. Flexibility and durability along with aesthetic appearance are among the key features driving product penetration.
Monel is the most common metal frame used globally and estimated to hold 18% of industry share in 2016. It is a mixture of many different materials as a result fairly corrosion resistant and is malleable enough to be durable and adjustable.
Trivex are expected to grow at over 3.5% up to 2024. Increasing material demand owing to UV radiation absorption and impact-resistant properties will fuel the product demand.
