Huge potential space

The industry has a clear judgment on the development trend of the AI ​​glasses industry. The development rhythm will be spatial projection AR (geek products) → AI glasses (wearable devices) → AR (computers). As wearable devices, AI smart glasses will bring epoch-making high efficiency to consumers at low cost. At the same time, the current AI smart glasses technology is gradually maturing, products are launched one after another, there are many players involved, and the potential space is huge.

Western Securities said that with the gradual maturity of relevant technical paths and the empowerment of edge AI, shipments of AR glasses are expected to accelerate and are expected to become the next innovative terminal product with sales exceeding 100 million in the future.

According to Wellsenn's forecast, global AR sales are expected to reach 650,000 units in 2024, a year-on-year increase of 27%, and are expected to increase to 5 million units in 2027.

Institutions suggest that investors can pay attention to companies that will benefit from subsequent launches of major AI smart glasses products, event-driven developments, theme fermentation, and other catalysis, as well as listed companies with higher performance certainty.
