Some reflections on the possibility of a breakthrough for AI glasses (?) appeared on the Inderes front page. “AI glasses” is an unfamiliar category to me, so I assume it falls into the MR/AR (mixed/augmented reality) glasses category.
Be that as it may, rapid growth is expected for the industry, and there is no doubt about the importance of the role of optics. AI requires high-quality, well-focused images, and Polight’s products offer a solution for this.
Explosive growth on the horizon
Citi predicts that smart glasses shipments will grow by an average of 105% per year between 2024 and 2030. This would mean approximately 112 million units sold by the end of the period. Of note is the revenue side, where the market is estimated to grow at an annual rate of 112% to approximately 40 billion dollars.
