DIGITIMES Sees AI Glasses Shipments Near 100 Million by 2030 as Market Grows 48% CAGR
1 articles · Updated · DIGITIMES · Jul 8
Summary
100 million AI glasses shipments by 2030 is DIGITIMES' forecast, positioning the category as a major new interface for AI beyond early-adopter demand.
48% annual growth from 2026 to 2030 depends on brands fixing core hurdles in form factor, battery life and go-to-market execution as Meta, Google, Samsung and Apple race Chinese rivals.
90% of eyewear purchases still flow through traditional optical retail, making prescription-ready designs and partnerships with opticians central to scaling the market.
Content creation, translation and navigation are among the use cases DIGITIMES sees driving broader adoption as AI glasses aim to deliver a 'see what you see, hear what you hear' experience.
