Smart Eyewear Technology Market: Overview

Smart eyewear technology is a wearable device that adds information to glasses. Smart eyewear can collect information from internal or external sensors. Smart eyewear is a wireless technology that includes Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and GPS. This can also be operated via mobile and function as a portable media player to send audio and video files to the user. 

Wearable computing in the form of "smart eyeglasses" can superimpose additional data over existing visual cues or help individuals see more clearly in challenging lighting conditions. To do this, one needs a pair of optical computerized internet-connected glasses, or a head-mounted display, that uses a transparent heads-up display, or augmented reality. Accelerometers, image sensors, gyroscopes, touch sensors, pressure sensors, and thermometers are only some of the sensors utilized in smart glasses.

Smart Eyewear Technology Market Value 

The global smart eyewear technology market was valued at USD 3,541.6 million in the year 2021 and is expected to reach USD 6892.44 million by 2028 with an expected CAGR of more than 12% between the years 2022 and 2028.

Smart Eyewear Technology Market: Drivers and Restraints

Smart Eyewear Technology Market: Segmentation

The mixed reality segment is expected to register the highest CAGR of over 43% over the forecasted period. This can be attributed to mixed reality technology that can provide enterprise employees with the best physical and digital worlds. Mixed reality includes various features such as mapping physical surroundings, language processing for voice recognition, monitoring gestures, and others. Such features will propel the growth of the mixed reality segment in the years to come. 

Head-mounted displays (HMDs) segment accounted for the largest market share of around 60% in 2016. This is mainly driven by technological advancements like 3D viewing, the development of high-resolution HMDs, and the integration of AR and VR technologies that will lead to the increasing demand for the head-mounted displays segment.

The growth of this market can be attributed to the availability of low-cost headsets such as Google Daydream View and Samsung Gear VR raising the demand for the head-mounted displays segment. The increasing number of small and medium players in the market with offerings of headsets at low cost is one of the key reasons behind the wide adoption of head-mounted display headsets.

The online store segment is expected to project a high CAGR of 36% in 2022-2028. Global e-retail sales were USD 1.9 trillion in past years and are expected to reach up to USD 5.06 trillion by 2020. Looking into this, the online store's segment is expected to post rapid growth in the near future. 

The market for the Android segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR of 40% between 2017 and 2022. The growing adoption of Android as the built custom application of wearable devices for increasing revenue attains tremendous business growth. Android has many features such as it is an open-source operating system, a middleware framework for smart devices, low investment with high ROI, multiple language supporters, and user-friendly. These factors are fueling the growth of this segment. 

The consumer electronics segment acquired the largest market share and is anticipated to dominate the market during the forecast period. The increasing demand for smart gadgets and gaming devices is driving the growth of the smart eyewear technology market for the consumer electronics vertical.
