From Startup to Market Leader: Pott Glasses Charts Future Growth
After 10 Years in Malaysia’s Eyewear Industry
According to Statista, revenue in Malaysia’s eyewear market is projected to reach US$558.88 million by 2025, supported by the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.25%.
Key drivers of this growth include rising screen exposure, heightened awareness of eye health, and a pronounced shift towards eyewear that balances fashion with functionality.
As a result, the demand for stylish, functional, and personalised eyewear has surged, fundamentally transforming the Malaysian optical industry.
Amid this evolving landscape, Pott Glasses has emerged as a market leader, reimagining the eyewear experience through a blend of optical expertise, fashion-forward design, and personalisation.
Established in 2015 by childhood best friends Aw Tai Hau and Eden Hoong from Kelantan, the home-grown brand has built a distinguished reputation nationwide for its curated, high-quality eyewear and personalised styling services designed to meet the unique preferences of every individual.
Tailored Glasses Frames for Asian Style Fit
From humble beginnings at pop-up booths, Pott Glasses has grown into a well-recognised name in Malaysia, now with nine branches established nationwide.
A defining strength of the brand lies in its focus on crafting eyewear designed specifically for Asian facial structures. In contrast to mass-market frames tailored primarily for Western features, Pott Glasses addresses prevalent fitting issues such as lower nose bridges and wider cheekbones, ensuring a more comfortable and secure fit for glasses wearers.
“At Pott Glasses, our mission has always been to provide Malaysians with eyewear that goes beyond function; it’s about personalisation, style, and eye health. That is why we have designed an extensive collection of over 800 frame styles, ensuring that each customer can find something that truly reflects their individuality.
Through this commitment, we have built Pott Glasses into a trusted name in Malaysia’s personalised eyewear boutique industry,” said Eden Hoong, Co-founder of Pott Glasses.
Revolutionising the Eyewear Industry with a Personalised Approach
Pott Glasses’ unique and personalised services include:
Recognised and Acclaimed within Malaysia’s Fashion Industry
Pott Glasses has earned recognition from thousands of Malaysians, as evidenced by their strong social media following and active engagement across platforms.
Recently, the brand’s runway credentials continued at Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week 2025, where Pott Glasses collaborated with local high-fashion label BEHATI, creating titanium sunglasses intricately laser-cut with motifs inspired by Malay and Peranakan antique jewellery, including twin Keris blades at the temples.
These striking pieces perfectly complement BEHATI’s culturally rich and contemporary designs, underscoring Pott Glasses’ fusion of heritage and high fashion.
Celebrating a Decade of Eyewear Excellence
To celebrate their 10th year in the eyewear industry, Pott Glasses is hosting its immersive “Take A Leap of Frame” pop-up at The Five @ KPD, Kuala Lumpur, from the 26th of September to the 5th of October 2025, commemorating the brand’s origin story and bold strategic pivots over the last ten years.
The “Take A Leap of Frame” pop-up will feature several standout attractions:
“Find your Pott Type” Quiz |
An interactive game designed to help individuals discover their unique ‘Pott Type’ and the eyewear styles that suit them best, sparking styling conversations and inspiring fashion choices. |
|
“Collection ‘X’ Gallery” Immersive Zones |
This area features the new Pott Sunnies Collection ‘X’, with several photo zones and a striking centrepiece. |
“10 Years of Pott” Exhibition |
A physical walkthrough, taking visitors on a journey through the brand’s decade-long story, highlighting key milestones and memories. |
Colour Analysis Station |
This station is designed to help guests discover the shades and tones that best complement their natural features, with guidance from trained stylists. |
Co-founder Aw Tai Hau commented, “This pop-up was not just a celebration of our 10-year journey, but a demonstration of how Pott Glasses has redefined personalised eyewear in Malaysia. From a humble startup, we have grown into a leading brand, recording a 73% (CAGR) from 2021 to 2024, which reflects our strategic growth and strong market demand.”
Looking ahead, Pott Glasses is expanding into the presbyopia market, a condition of age-related farsightedness that typically affects individuals above 40. The launch of Multifocal Specialist by Pott Glasses aims to meet the growing demand for personalised eyecare solutions.
These initiatives are designed to strengthen the company’s market position, unlock new revenue streams, and solidify its standing as a key player in Malaysia’s personalised eyewear industry.

Midea Debuts INSTA-FIT Master Series and Laundry Suite in Malaysia
Designed for modern homes, the new range combines seamless integration, advanced performance, and advanced purification – earning recognition in the Malaysia Book of Records as the first refrigerator with the Highest Level of PST Purification Virus Elimination System
News highlights:
Midea, a global leader in smart home appliances, today unveiled its latest INSTA-FIT Master Series and Laundry Suite in Malaysia. The debut underscores Midea’s vision of appliances that fit seamlessly into modern homes while supporting healthier lifestyles through smarter design and advanced purification technologies.
“Homeowners today are looking for appliances that blend seamlessly into their spaces while delivering exceptional performance,” said Mark Tam, Managing Director of Midea Malaysia. “The INSTA-FIT Master Series and Laundry Suite are designed to do exactly that, helping families keep their food fresher for longer and facilitating effortless laundry care, all wrapped in a sleek, stylish design. We want families to enjoy everyday convenience without ever compromising on style.”
Both the INSTA-FIT Master Series and Laundry Suite embody Midea’s philosophy of enabling convenience and adaptability, showing that appliances can complement a home’s identity rather than dictate it.
“As kitchens and living spaces become more open and integrated, appliances are increasingly expected to disappear into the design rather than disrupt it,” said Iko In, Founder of iN Design Lab. “The INSTA-FIT Master Series, with its seamless cabinetry integration, and the ultra-thin Midea Laundry Suite reflect this shift perfectly, proving that functionality never has to come at the expense of aesthetics.”
A Refrigerator Designed for Health, Not Just Storage
The new Midea INSTA-FIT Master Series redefines modern refrigeration with a true perfect slot-in fit. At just 600mm depth with 4mm clearance, it blends seamlessly into cabinetry with zero installation required. Designed for today’s minimalist kitchens, it features a Shadow Grey finish, GlowTech illuminated handle, and durable, scratch-resistant surfaces that stay clean and fingerprint-free. With a generous Gross 620L capacity, the fridge offers 90° accessible drawers and a flexible flip-tray system for effortless storage, all brightly lit by an LED light wall.
Beyond style, it delivers breakthrough freshness technologies. V-Tech soft-freeze drawers preserve meat and fish for up to seven days without defrosting, while IPL Purify sterilises packaged food in just three minutes and PST+ Plasma Sterilisation eliminates odours in only nine minutes. Paired with the SmartHome App, users can manage temperature, track energy use, receive food expiry reminders, and run self-diagnostics, all from their phone, making the INSTA-FIT Master Series as intelligent as it is elegant. By keeping food fresher for longer and removing harmful bacteria, the fridge helps families prepare healthier home-cooked meals with confidence.
The INSTA-FIT Master Series has been recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records as the first refrigerator in the market to feature PST+ Plasma Sterilisation with the Highest Level of PST Purification Virus Elimination System as well as odour purification, setting a new benchmark for disinfection, virus and odour removal in the industry.
Smarter Laundry in a Slimmer Form
The new Laundry Suite redefines home care with its sleek, ultra-thin all-in-one washer-dryer combo that fits seamlessly into standard cabinetry while offering a strikingly unified design. Its extra-large drum handles up to 10kg + 8kg of washing and drying, ensuring even bulky items like curtains are cleaned with ease.
A central 115cm colourful touchscreen puts both washing and drying functions at eye level, making everyday use simple and intuitive. Powered by advanced Turbo technology, the Laundry Suite can complete a wash-and-dry cycle in just 35 minutes, while its heat-pump drying system delivers gentle care at 42°C with significant energy savings.
Beyond performance, it also prioritises hygiene with UV sterilisation, steam cleaning, mite removal, and self-cleaning functions, giving families fresh, hygienic laundry every time.
To mark the debut, visitors to the iN Design Lab can see the INSTA-FIT Master Series and Laundry Suite in immersive and interactive real-life home setups, test key features, and discover how the appliances adapt to different layouts and needs. More than a display, the showroom will act as a dedicated design hub for both consumers and interior professionals, showcasing how Midea’s smart technologies seamlessly integrate into diverse lifestyles and home aesthetics.
Pricing & Availability
The new INSTA-FIT Master Series refrigerator and Midea Laundry Suite will be available in Malaysia on special offer until 30 November 2025, as follows:
