Goldman Sachs Bullish! China’s AI/AR Glasses Market Continues to Expand, Is the Next Tech Boom Arriving?
Global investment bank Goldman Sachs recently released a research report on China’s AI/AR industry, raising its expectations for the Chinese AI/AR glasses market. According to the report, year-on-year shipment growth for AI/AR glasses in China is projected to reach 87% and 121% in 2026 and 2027, respectively. In terms of market size, 2026 is expected to see a 132% year-on-year increase to $946 million, with a compound annual growth rate of 24% from 2027 to 2030, pushing the market size to $3 billion by 2030.

The market potential of AI/AR glasses stems from their core advantages—support for first-person perspective (POV) recording, hands-free communication, and AI interaction—which create new pathways for users to connect with the digital world. These products lower the barrier to first-person filming while enhancing real-world interactivity through AI-assisted, direct augmented reality interfaces.

  1. Product Functions and Core Value
    Current core AI functions of AI/AR glasses include real-time subtitles, instant translation, visual Q&A, AR navigation, and AI assistants. Their hands-free human-computer interaction design adapts to diverse daily life scenarios, positioning them as potential successors to smartphones. The first-person perspective synchronizes with the user’s field of view, enabling content display, audio transmission, and instant scene sharing with strong social attributes. The hands-free design integrates naturally into the user’s line of sight, suitable for mobile scenarios like walking and cycling. Functions span navigation, photography, gaming, and meeting collaboration, addressing personal life, entertainment, and office efficiency needs.
  2. Technological Specification Trends
    In sensing capabilities, increasing the number of cameras enhances motion capture and environmental detection accuracy. For AI performance, upgrading foundational models improves response speed and accuracy of intelligent assistance. Display focus is on full-color, high-resolution screens, optimizing visibility in both bright and low-light conditions. Portability improvements center on reducing device weight (current mainstream products range from 35–80 grams) and extending wearing time.
    In display technology, LCOS (mature, low-cost, high-brightness), Micro OLED (excellent color performance), and Micro LED (high brightness, low power consumption, higher cost) are the mainstream solutions, with full-color Micro LED seen as the ultimate direction. Optical solutions are transitioning from traditional Birdbath to Waveguide, with thinner, high-temperature-resistant silicon carbide-based waveguide solutions expected by 2027. Chip solutions focus on customized SoCs for low-power audio-video processing, with some brands incorporating dedicated audio chips for improved energy efficiency.
  3. Cost Structure and Supply Chain
    In AI glasses, SoCs account for 35%–40% of costs, structural components 10%–15%, sensors/memory and acoustic components 5%–10% each, batteries 3%, packaging 2%–3%, OEM/ODM 10%, and other costs 0%–10%. For AR glasses, displays (30%–35%), SoC modules (20%–25%), and optical components (15%–20%) are core costs, with sensors at 5%–10% and batteries at 1%–2%.
    Key supply chain companies mentioned in the Goldman Sachs report include: camera maker Sunny Optical; display manufacturers AUO, BOE, and HIMX; structural component suppliers Lingyi iTech and Changying Precision; acoustic/battery suppliers Goertek, AAC Technologies, and TDK; and chip suppliers Qualcomm and Realtek.
  4. Usage Scenarios and Target Users
    Lifestyle and entertainment scenarios include first-person perspective recording (documenting life moments), AR navigation (walking/cycling), immersive gaming (eye-tracking联动, no motion blur), and message notifications (instant text/voice replies). Office efficiency scenarios cover meeting minutes and summaries, real-time translation, presentation script display, virtual workstations (multi-screen operation via computer connection), and visual Q&A (querying information about objects in view). With lightweight design, the devices adapt to multiple scenarios such as home, office, outdoors, and inside vehicles, particularly suited for situations where hands are occupied, like sports, cooking, and childcare.
    One core target group is eyeglass wearers—with 660 million myopia cases in China as of 2020, this group has a natural habit of wearing glasses. Another core group consists of early technology adopters, as Chinese consumers show high acceptance of new technologies like drones, robots, and VR devices and are willing to try innovative tech products.
