In this blog, we will dive into Lenskart’s marketing strategy, exploring its product offerings, pricing strategies, design trends, material choices, and consumer preferences. Let's analyze how Lenskart’s pricing strategy compares with a broader market. Also about their frame designs and materials influence both comfort and cost and what customer behavior reveals about their demand dynamics. By the end of this analysis you will have a better understanding of how Lenskart balances style, affordability and quality to maintain its competitive edge.
Price Comparison: Lenskart vs the Market
Let’s analyze the price comparison of Lenskart and its market using the boxplot method.
A box plot is a simple way of showing how the data might be spread, and it is a good way to locate unusual values. It divides the data into four parts, focusing on key points that either lie on the border or at the middle values. It is just like a quick snapshot of the whole trend in the data. On comparing the above box plot of the prices of eyeglasses in the general market (market_price) with those on Lenskart (lenskart_price), we can see -
Distribution and Spread: The distributions of both market price and Lenskart price are similar as indicated by the nearly identical position taken by their boxes. The IQR for both prices is from 2000 to 3500 which shows that the central 50% of prices do not differ between the two groups.
Median: The mean of market price and Lenskart is around 2000. Thus, the middle value is the desired mean, and half of the prices are lesser than that value; the other half is higher. Therefore, there does not exist any great difference in the two sets of prices in terms of central tendency.
Minimum and Maximum: Market minimum and maximum are also the same at 1000, which may be a threshold price, while Lenskart minimum and maximum price is also the same at 1000, but whereas market maximum price ranges to 9500, Lenskart's maximum price only goes up to 9000, possibly meaning that general market has a few priced products.
Outliers: There were many outliers in both categories, and these appear as individual points on the whiskers. The number of outliers for market price is more, spread out, and far greater toward the high end, which suggests that more items in the market are costlier than they are in Lenskart.
Price Consistency: The parallelism of features of the box plot suggests that the prices in Lenskart are similar to market prices with an almost similar range of available price. It can be concluded that Lenskart is priced competitively.
Possible Market Positioning: If Lenskart is a retailer, its pricing strategy seems to align with the market practices in such a way that the retailer neither provides anything out of line with significantly cheaper prices nor anything out of line with higher price options. This can keep the retailer in competitive parity.
In the context of this box plot, the prices that Lenskart is charging are very comparable with the market prices because the two distributions are alike with respect to spread and central tendency. Also, the presence of outliers for both price classes might suggest that most products lie within a certain range but there are also deviant ones; in this case, the deviant points are mostly in the market class. Therefore, this analysis may be applied when making the pricing strategy and market positioning for both Lenskart and its competitors.
Eyewear Economics: Lenskart’s Price Range
Let’s analyze the price range with a histogram:
This histogram is representing the eyeglass prices at Lenskart. What can we decode from the plot?
Price Concentration:
Most Frequent Price Bracket: The most frequently used price bracket lies in the 1800-2200 bracket, with a peak frequency of 1310. This implies that most of the Lenskart eyewear items fall in this price bracket. Thus, all the strategies would align along the same price segment.
Secondary Price Peaks:
There are low-scaled peaks at the price ranges 3400-3800 and 5000-5400 with frequency values 623 and 435, respectively. These imply that there are also huge amounts of products in those categories targeting other market segments.
Less Frequent Price Ranges:
Price ranges like 2200-3000 and 3800-4600 have zero frequency, which simply means that Lenskart is offering nothing in those ranges or the numbers are too low to be meaningful. This could mean that there may be some gaps in the pricing strategy that can be exploited.
Other ranges like 6200-6600, 7000-7400, and above have frequencies less than 10 indicating little is being offered in the higher price bracket.
Distribution Shape:
The histogram is generally multimodal, that means there are several peaks in the graph. It can be inferred that Lenskart is selling at some optimum price points. Since for the same product, there are different kinds of consumers and hence vary price requirements, one could suggest concentrating on two or three individual price points.
After the price range of 2200, there is a decline in frequency, and then again, there is an increase around 3400, which means after the most affordable range, Lenskart has a middle category of the product range before bringing in the high-range products.
Tail Behaviour:
The right tail of the histogram extends out to higher price points higher than 8000, but with very few products in these ranges, as shown by the very low frequencies. This means while Lenskart does offer premium-priced options, they are not the central point of the company.
Business Inferences:
Price-Based Marketing: As it can cater to budget-conscious customers on a larger scale, Lenskart can market more in the most predominant price range, 1800-2200.
Product Line Diversification: Lenses and several price gaps provide an opportunity to introduce new products in different segments.
Premium Positioning: The portfolio shows high-priced items, signaling that it must be a premium line that can be marketed appropriately for quality or brand value.
The histogram proves to be quite insightful into what Lenskart would price and where the company is likely to concentrate, thereby outlining areas of possible growth. This graphical representation of price distribution may then be useful for Lenskart in strategizing on product development, marketing, and competitive pricing.
Material Matters: From Steel to Titanium
Let’s look at the top material collection:
Top 10 Material Distribution
Stainless Steel Dominance: Stainless Steel accounts for 780 products. It vastly outshines the rest of them.

Material Options: Different material options are available in Lenskart-which vary from budget-friendly options to high-end options.
Strategic Price: The price of Titanium and Italian Acetate is high and probably strategic to brand these materials premium. Such customers will expect maximum or premium benefits, such as being the most fashion-conscious or quality focused in the market.
Stylish Specs: Lenskart’s Frame Designs and Width Trends
Let’s analyze Lenskart’s frame designs and trends:
The product provided by Lenskart is very diverse and caters to the different customer preferences. The following are the major frame styles along with their average prices:

This hints that a large number of eyeballs in the market are soliciting high-premium eyewear among the customers of Lenskart.

What's learned
Popularity vs. Price: While the three most popular categories (Premium, Light-Weight, and Standard) have higher average prices, customers are clearly willing to pay extra for these features or styles. If Kids and Reading glasses were quite affordable, that would explain their lower average prices.

The Perfect Fit: Frame Width and Pricing Correlations
Framing the Perfect Fit: Width Distribution of Eyeglasses at Lenskart
Most Popular Size
Most in Demand: Those measuring from 133-136 mm were the most popular, with 738 pairs. Most clients always demand frames of this size because they fit average faces.
Best Seller Range: Frames measuring between 129-140 mm in width were also very popular. This is a good selection too. The sizes fit most customers who have the size of their face.
Least Popular Sizes
Small and Large Sizes: 120 mm to 143 mm frames are not that popular. These sizes are used only for special cases, like children who have smaller frames or people with larger faces, wide frames.
Seldom Widths: The very narrow frames (104-108 mm width) and the extremely wide frames (147-150 mm width) are the most rare and are produced in minimal quantities. The market for these extreme widths is quite thin and available hardly ever.
General Trend
Typical Shape: The curve is almost a bell curve where most of the frames take the middle-size form, and the few are at the extremities. The multiple options range at the average customer, and the very small or very large frames have very few options.
Sizing Up: Frame Widths and Pricing Trends at Lenskart
Let's analyze the perfect fit:
Average Frame Width by Frame Size:
This graph shows average frame width in millimeters for size.
Frame types: Medium, Wide, Narrow, Extra Wide, Extra Narrow; as well as different sizes for children (2-5 yrs; 5-8 yrs; 8-12 yrs).
Extra Wide frames have the largest average frame width at 143.57 mm, followed by Wide at 139.25 mm, Medium at 135.70 mm, Extra Narrow at 127.56 mm, Narrow at 131.82 mm, and the kids' sizes that range from 109.75 mm to 126.98 mm.
Average Lenskart Price by Suited For and Frame Size:
This graph shows the average price (in Rs) of Lenskart frames categorized based on whether they are for adults, or kids, then into frame sizes.
Extra wide was the most expensive overall for the adults with an average cost at Rs 3602.27, followed by wide which was the priciest second coming in at Rs 3185.29, then medium at Rs 3046.53, next was narrow at Rs 2853.71 and last was extra narrow at Rs 2728.07 for the kids' frames.
For children, it is relatively cheaper and Frame width for 8-12 years costlier at Rs 1092.31, then for 5-8 years at Rs 1095.59, for 2-5 years at Rs 1000.00 and cheaper for extra narrow, Rs 1500.00
Insights:
Frame Width and Price Correlation: There was a correlation between frame width and price among adult glasses. When the frames are wider, the average price will be higher. Extra Wide frames are also the widest and most expensive, which might indicate that bigger frames use more material or that they target premium segments. In the case of kids' frames, there is no such evident relationship with price as the prices appear to be quite similar across age classes despite the differences in average frame width.
Market Segmentation: Lenskart's pricing strategy seems to distinguish substantially between adult and kids' frames. Adult frames, regardless of size, cost more than kids' frames. This could indicate a form of segmentation, wherein adult frames are sold to markets willing to pay a premium, maybe because of stronger disposable income and affinity towards fashion and durability. Kids' frames are priced relatively uniformly with less variation within different sizes perhaps so that it is affordable for families across multiple sizes.
Design and Material cost: The higher prices for wider frames can also be attributed to more design and material costs. Larger frames might require the use of stronger or specific materials for structural integrity, hence carrying higher prices.
These may merely declare to the public that Lenskart charges a bit more by the size of the frame of course, the target age group and, of course, the cost of the material, but it clearly imposes a premium for bigger adult frames. The uniform pricing for kid's frames may target accessibility and affordability.
Lenskart’s Market Segmentation and Price Strategy
Categories suited for price, wishlist, purchase and quantity analyzed:
Plots Detailed Lenskart Market Segmentation in Adult and Kids Frame Categories by Lenskart Market Share Average Price Consumer Engagement (Wishlist Counts) Purchase Behaviour Available Quantities.
Proportions and Average Prices by Category: The outer ring really makes the point of adult frames dominance in the market.The inner bar chart clearly shows how much more expensive adult frames are, which would add up to premium pricing for adults.
Wishlist, Buy Count, and Available Quantity Metrics by Category: The wishlist count, buy count, and available quantity metrics are marked by a strong behavioral and inventory distinction between adults and kids. With the purchase count much higher than for kids, adults show a clear dominant position at Lenskart's market. Available quantity data draws out the inventory strategy aligned with market demand.
Market Share and Pricing Strategy
Adult Frames: Adults constitute 94.69% of the market. They are, hence the primary target of Lenskart's products. Kids constitute the remaining 5.32%, which is an extremely low percentage.
Price Gap: In this segment also, kids' frame average was much below adult at Rs 3074.55 as compared to Rs 1080.25 in case of kids' frames. That may indicate premium pricing for adult frames, possibly due to higher material cost, finer designs, and possible brand positioning.
Customer Behaviour and Engagement
Wishlist Activity: Average count for the wishlist is higher in adults, at 964.03, compared to kids, which stands at 116.77, showing more engagement as well as a more deliberate process of decision-making.
Purchase Behaviour: Adult purchase count averages are significantly higher at 9176.79 compared to kids with 4761.31, showing a stronger demand in the adult segment, thereby also aligning with the large difference in the counts of purchase and related market share figures of adult frames.
Inventory Insights
Available Stock: Average Available Stock for Adults stands at 1055.03 which is higher as compared to children with 689.99, and thus pointing out that higher stock keeping for adult frames is maintained. Higher inventory for adult frames stays in line with its higher market share and sheer demand which means Lenskart can fulfill the demands of consumers effectively.
Strategic Implications
Focus on Adult Market: The high share of the adult market in both landscape share and the purchasing metric makes it imperative for Lenskart to continue investing further in the segment through innovative designs and high-quality materials, while specifically targeting the market. The good engagement and high purchases by the adult segment point towards a healthy market that values both variety and quality.
Kids Segment Growth Opportunities: Although the kids' segment owns a smaller market, this segment is comparatively very active in making purchases (4761.31 average purchase count). Lenskart can find ways to increase their engagement from both parents and kids through new styles, promos, or marketing campaigns that appeal to young consumers and parents.
Inventory Management: A higher inventory of adult frames guarantees available supply to meet the high demand and not run out of stock. With kids' frames, an inventory level below the threshold could actually be an indication of low demand, but still, space could be opened for increasing the stock if engagement and purchase behaviors are seen to be changing and set to get better through targeted intervention.
