According to Omdia's latest data, global shipments of AI glasses reached 4.2 million units in the first half of 2026, an increase of 127% over the previous year. AI glasses are still an emerging category. The market started at a very low base, and growth is gradually stabilizing. At the same time, competition on the frame design circuit is becoming increasingly fierce, the regulatory scrutiny of user privacy is constantly being strengthened, and the industry environment is becoming more complex. Omdia analyst Qiran Ju said, “The AI glasses market grew in the first half of 2026, thanks on the one hand to Meta's continued market popularity, and on the other hand, it was driven by a large number of new Chinese manufacturers. Another key point is that major manufacturers use the form of everyday glasses as carriers, focusing on functions such as hands-free photo and video shooting, open ear audio, and AI assistants, so that the value of the product can be intuitively perceived by consumers.”
