Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses have spurred interest in Augmented Reality (AR) over the past year, potentially becoming a stepping stone to the adoption of more robust and visually capable AR devices. ABI Research has noted this shift in interest and forecasts no-display smart glasses shipments will grow from 679,004 in 2024 to 15 million in 2030 – a CAGR of almost 68%. No-display smart glasses will be impactful not just for consumer use, which will be the largest vertical to adopt the tech, but also for enterprise verticals. The latest published market data forecasts from ABI Research now include No-Display smart glasses to quantify this new device category and track expansion in the broader Extended Reality (XR) ecosystem.
