Market Challenges The smart glasses market is currently in its innovation stage, with low sales and customer adoption. Enterprise versions dominate the market due to high penetration and vendor focus. The high average selling price (ASP) of USD1,397.39 is a result of limited consumer awareness and few AR applications. Vendors prioritize enterprise revenue, with prices ranging from USD150 to USD10,000. Enterprise users pay USD799.99 for Vuzix M300 Smart Glasses and USD1,799.99 for M400, while ThirdEye Gen's X2 Mixed Reality Glasses cost USD1,950 for enterprise clients. The market's growth may be hindered by the high ASP, limited consumer appeal, and enterprise focus. Vendors are releasing developer and commercial versions, catering to different use cases and price points. The Smart Glasses market is experiencing significant growth due to advancements in technologies such as Autonomous Vehicles and 5G. Challenges include integrating heads-up displays (HUD), minimalist architecture, and electrochromic technology for automatic tinting. Wearable technology, sensors, and Bluetooth connectivity are essential features. Audio smart glasses offer crystal clear sound, while smart glasses enhance outdoor sports and gaming experiences. Industrial and healthcare applications require specialty glasses with privacy features, switchable lenses, and Linux operating systems. Monocular and binocular designs cater to various needs. Miniaturization, AR experience, and acoustic insulation are key trends. Aerospace companies explore smart glasses for cockpit displays and SPD glass for light control, heat rejection, and acoustic insulation. Segment Overview Product 4.5 South America 1.1 Developer- Smart glasses developers, also known as prosumers, play a crucial role in the advancement of the smart glasses market. They are individuals involved in the design, manufacture, and development of these innovative devices. Vendors provide developer versions of smart glasses, which are not intended for commercial use. These developer kits enable developers to test and improve the hardware and software of smart glasses. Nreal, an augmented reality company, recently launched its developer version of air glasses in the US in September 2022. The demand for developer kits to create AR technology and apps is on the rise, leading to an ecosystem of new product development, effective use of hardware components, and appealing designs for smart glasses. Consequently, most vendors in the market initially release developer versions before commercializing their products.
