Smart Glasses Market Growth & Trends

The global smart glasses market size is expected to reach USD 8.26 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 27.3% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The promising growth prospects of the market can be credited to the growing adoption of wearable computing technologies coupled with improvement in operations efficiency. Moreover, the ability of smart glasses to offer Augmented Reality (AR) visuals, including weather imaging, stocks, text messages, calender, and teleprompter-like functions is expected to drive the market growth further.

Smart glasses are usually equipped with behind-the-ear speakers for music playback, hands-free calling, and activity tracking. Moreover, it also detects accurate and precise measurements, which has led to an increase in its use in the aerospace and defense, architecture and construction, medical, electronics, energy and power, heavy machinery, and entertainment sectors. This, in turn, is expected to drive the market growth further.

The key market players are focusing on partnerships and collaborations to cater the consumer demands. For instance, in September 2020 Meta Platforms, Inc. announced the partnership with EssilorLuxottica to develop next generation smart glasses. The collaboration has helped companies to combine their experience in technology and fashion to create the advanced lens technology to help people stay better connected to their friends and family.
