The future trend of smart glasses
Feb 22, 2021
As the price of smart glasses gradually decreases towards the end of the forecast period, the penetration rate of this product will increase substantially. However, to make smart glasses and other wearable devices reach the breaking point, it is necessary to break through the current complementary device positioning. Smart glasses shipments mainly come from the consumer sector, followed by the enterprise and medical sectors. First-generation applications such as video recording and communication will initially be used in the medical field, and the real potential will come from diagnostic reference, surgical assistance, and monitoring. But to achieve long-term growth, regulatory certification and field testing are required. Smart glasses also have many uses in the enterprise field, including applications in engineering and logistics. Application developers are currently considering customizing services for enterprises. However, the greatest potential of such products still comes from the consumer sector, which mainly depends on the attractiveness of hardware and applications. It is estimated that the market size of mobile smart wearable devices will reach 19 billion U.S. dollars by 2018, and the market will be composed of North America, the Far East and China. And the Western European market dominates. Global smart glasses shipments will increase from 87,000 pairs in 2013 to 10 million pairs in 2018. The "2016-2020 China Smart Glasses Industry In-depth Investigation and Investment Prospects Report" pointed out that today, although smart glasses are already on the market Glasses brands and types are still single. As more technology brands get involved in the research and development and promotion of such smart products, the smart glasses market, which is still in the early stages of development, still shows some new features and trends.
