Market Dynamics

Major Drivers & Challenges

The implementation of automation in the industrial sector is a key factor driving the smart glasses market growth. The main factor for industries to deploy automation is to carry out complex manufacturing processes, which improve efficiency, the predictive maintenance of machines, good safety, and increased profitability. Furthermore, the opportunities for the use of smart glasses in industrial automation are developed with the growing implementation of automation. For example, AGL Automation Ltd announced a partnership with Epson to launch augmented reality into its portfolio using Epson’s Moverio BT-350 smart glasses. Hence, these factors are expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.

Technical limitations and unattractive design is the major challenge restricting the smart glasses market growth. Most gadgets available in the market have a field of view (FOV) of 20-25 degrees. As a result, when playing games like RoboRaid, gamers must stand 2-3 meters away since adversaries disappear from vision. A limited FOV has an impact on the gaming experience of consumers. To improve the user experience, high-quality 3D cameras and sensors are necessary. Furthermore, the factors which are considered while designing smart glasses are weight, thickness, battery life, performance, FOV, prescription lenses, eye position, and connectivity. Although, many existing vendors have not incorporated it till now. Hence, these factors are expected to restrict the market growth during the forecast period.

Major Trends

The rise in the number of strategic partnerships and acquisitions is an emerging trend shaping the smart glasses market growth. The major factor for partnerships is to improve their services, expand their geographic presence, strengthen their market position, and develop innovative products. For instance, Vuzix Corporation announced a strategic partnership with Rods and Cones, which is a provider of a fully virtual surgical collaboration platform. Rods & Cones will integrate Vuzix’s M-Series Smart Glasses as an extra video-capturing device as part of this collaboration to assist in optimized remote interaction between surgeons and medical specialists. Hence, these strategic partnerships and collaborations are expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
