　　I. Industry Development Background: Multiple Advantages Fuel the New Track of Touch-Controlled AI Glasses

　　The large-scale development of the AI glasses industry, the mature implementation of touch interaction technology, policy support, and upgrading consumer demand have jointly driven the rapid growth of the touch-controlled AI glasses track, forming a new scenario for differentiated competition. This aligns with the major trend of high-quality development of AI wearable devices. In 2026, AI glasses were included in the national subsidy program for the first time, injecting strong momentum into the category's development.

　　1. AI Glasses Iterative Upgrades: Touch Interaction Becomes the Core Breakthrough

　　Traditional AI glasses primarily rely on single voice interaction. In noisy environments, recognition accuracy drops significantly, and complex operations are difficult to achieve through voice, hindering user experience. As AI glasses transform from "auxiliary tools" to "intelligent terminals," users' demands for ease of operation and accuracy continue to increase. Touchscreen AI glasses deeply integrate capacitive touch, pressure sensing, and other technologies with AI functions, enabling diverse operations such as light touch, swipe, and long press. They allow for quick function switching and parameter adjustment, perfectly overcoming the limitations of voice interaction and driving the upgrade of AI glasses interaction from "single voice" to a multimodal collaborative approach of "voice + touch," adapting to more complex usage scenarios.

　　2. Integration of Touch and AI Technologies, Lowering Industry Barriers

　　Iterative developments in flexible touchscreens, capacitive touch chips, and low-power AI algorithms provide core technological support for touchscreen AI glasses. The widespread adoption of lightweight touch modules allows for seamless integration of touch functionality into the temples and frames of eyeglasses without compromising portability. Currently, the weight of mainstream touch-enabled AI glasses is controlled to an acceptable upper limit of 40-50g, with some high-end products even as light as 25g. The lightweight deployment of edge AI models (such as AutoGLM 2.0 and DeepSeek), combined with optimized touch interaction algorithms, achieves near-instantaneous linkage between touch operation and AI response. Simultaneously, low-power design balances battery life and performance. Some products optimize the charging experience through battery swapping and charging cases. The maturity of the technology has driven a continuous decline in R&D and mass production costs, accelerating product marketization. Furthermore, the modular architecture separating display and computing further optimizes the lightweight design and computing power balance of touch-enabled AI glasses.

　　3. Expanding Market Demand, Driven by Both Policy and Consumption

　　my country's AI glasses market is experiencing rapid growth. The AR glasses market size increased from 267,000 units in 2024 to 489,000 units in 2025, a growth rate of 83.2%. Touchscreen AI glasses, with their convenient interaction advantages, have become the core driving force behind this market growth. On the consumer side, the demand for convenient operation of AI glasses in scenarios such as office work, outdoor activities, and commuting is increasingly urgent. The accuracy and efficiency of touch interaction precisely meet the needs of working professionals and outdoor enthusiasts. On the policy side, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is promoting the standardized development of the AI wearable device industry. Combined with the national subsidy policy for AI glasses in 2026, focusing on interactive experience and product safety, a favorable policy environment is provided for the touchscreen AI glasses sector. Meanwhile, the technological accumulation of core supply chain companies such as Luxshare Precision and BOE Technology Group also supports the large-scale production of touchscreen AI glasses.

　　II. Market Structure: Tiered Competition, Dominated by Technology and Specialized Manufacturers

　　The industry is in its early stages of rapid development, exhibiting a tiered competitive landscape characterized by "technology companies leading the way, specialized manufacturers breaking through, and small and medium-sized manufacturers supplementing the competition." The focus of competition is concentrated on four key dimensions: touch interaction precision, AI function integration, lightweight design, and cost-effectiveness. No absolute monopoly has yet been formed, while overseas markets have become a significant growth engine, with leading brands beginning to expand globally.

　　1. First Tier: Technology Companies, Leading in Both Technology and Ecosystem

　　Leading technology companies such as Xiaomi, Huawei, and Alibaba, leveraging their advantages in edge AI technology, touch module R&D, and ecosystem resources, have launched mid-to-high-end touch AI glasses. These glasses boast advantages such as high-precision touch interaction, multi-scenario AI empowerment, and long battery life, covering core scenarios such as office assistance, intelligent translation, and outdoor navigation. Xiaomi's AI glasses, leveraging its strong brand appeal, achieved sales exceeding 70,000 units on JD.com and Tmall, corresponding to nearly 130 million yuan in revenue. Huawei focused on lightweight design and multi-device collaboration, while Quark's AI glasses S1, within the Alibaba ecosystem, established a foothold in the high-priced segment. These companies dominate the mid-to-high-end market through technological barriers, while also emphasizing ecosystem integration to achieve seamless connectivity with mobile phones, computers, and other terminals.

　　2. Second Tier: Specialized Manufacturers, Breaking Through with Differentiated Scenarios

　　Rokid, Thunderbird Innovation, INAIR, and other specialized AI glasses manufacturers, leveraging their technological accumulation in the AR/AI glasses field, launched differentiated touch-sensitive AI glasses, focusing on adaptation to professional scenarios. For example, Rokid's flagship product, the Rookie AI Glasses, achieved total sales of nearly 30,000 units in the price range above 3,000 yuan. Its touch functionality is deeply integrated with AR display, enabling virtual screen touch operation. INAIR's AI spatial computer and accompanying AR glasses support touch adjustment of the virtual screen size and, combined with a touch keyboard, achieve multimodal interaction, precisely catering to mobile office scenarios. Leveraging its differentiated advantages in these scenarios, it has captured a certain share of the mid-range market. Thunderbird Innovation, with a market share exceeding 30%, holds the top position in the combined AR glasses and photography glasses market.

　　3. Third Tier: Small and Medium-Sized Manufacturers, Focusing on Low-End Markets with Cost-Effectiveness

　　Small and medium-sized manufacturers rely on mature supply chains, using low cost and low price as their core competitiveness. They launch basic touch-screen AI glasses, emphasizing simple touch operation and basic AI functions (such as voice assistants and music control) to meet entry-level consumer needs. However, these glasses suffer from problems such as insufficient touch accuracy, rudimentary AI functions, and reduced battery life. Some manufacturers rely solely on the "touch + AI" concept to attract consumers, lacking core technological barriers. In the future, they will gradually be eliminated or transform to niche scenarios, which is highly consistent with the current development status of small and medium-sized manufacturers in the AI glasses industry.
