The most important brands, especially when it comes to sunglasses, are Ray-Ban, Dior, Gucci, Boss, and Prada. The Eyewear market relies heavily on imports from Asia (China, Thailand), while a significant production exists in only a few European countries (Italy, France, and Great Britian). With regard to distribution, there are two major types of brick-and-mortar retail businesses: specialist opticians (Fielmann, Apollo) and stores that are not specialized in selling eyewear (drugstores, supermarkets, fashion stores). This especially applies to the Sunglasses segment. In addition to brick-and-mortar retail stores, online stores for optical goods (Mister Spex, Brille 24) have secured a firm foothold in the market, too, although half of their revenue is generated from the sale of contact lenses and care products.
