In the sample room of Faleiao, an eyewear company in Jiaojiang district, Taizhou, Zhejiang province, customers from India and Mexico were selecting eyewear samples on May 21.

The company has been cultivating the eyewear industry for over 20 years, and last year, they significantly improved their processes, expanded production lines, and hired a research and development team from Shenzhen to enhance appearance design, materials, and create a mid-to-high-end independent brand.

After more than 50 years of development, the eyewear industry in Taizhou has flourished. Currently, there are over 1,800 eyewear and accessory production enterprises distributed in the three main production areas of Linhai, Jiaojiang, and Yuhuan. They have made significant advancements in design, branding, quality, and have begun entering the mid-to-high-end market with independent brands. 

Last year, the total output value of the eyewear industry in Taizhou was nearly 15 billion yuan ($2 billion).

With a focus on quality, design, and branding, Taizhou eyewear is making strides towards becoming a key player in global eyewear.
