Omdia's updated tracker found global AI glasses shipments reached 8.7 million units in 2025, a 322% year-over-year jump, with Meta continuing to dominate the market. Mainland China emerged as the fastest-growing market, driven by numerous new product launches and aggressive pricing from local vendors; Chinese shipments approached 1 million units, a 10.9% global share, making China the second-largest market after the United States. Omdia revised its 2026 forecast upward to more than 15 million units on the back of this momentum, versus its earlier September 2025 forecast of 10 million.
