Google 上週在 I/O 開發者大會證實，將聯手三星於今年秋季推出首款 Android XR 智慧眼鏡，正式搶攻全新市場！對此專家預估，該產品首年銷量恐突破 200 萬大關、橫掃將近兩成市占率，但預期市場龍頭仍會由 Meta 主導。
根據研調機構 Smart Analytics Global 報告指出，Google 推出的 Android XR 眼鏡在 2026 年底出貨量有望達到 200 萬支。透過與潮流眼鏡品牌 Warby Parker 和 Gentle Monster 合作監製外型設計，並結合其既有通路，再加上 Android 系統的龐大覆蓋率，該產品有望一舉躍升市場第二名，市占率上看 18%。

Smart Analytics Global 表示，Google 選擇的合作夥伴至關重要，畢竟眼鏡更講究時尚造型、配戴舒適度與近視度數調整，因此零售店的體驗和品牌信任度都是關鍵。透過與已有相關經驗與通路的 Warby Parker 和 Gentle Monster 合作，才能迅速將 AI 技術帶入消費者的日常生活。然而，憑藉著既有的良好口碑以及與雷朋（Ray-Ban）的合作，Meta 預計仍會穩坐 2026 年的領先地位，預期出貨市占率將高達 64%。
不過 Smart Analytics Global 認為，隨著 Google 這樣的生態系統建構者加入戰局，智慧眼鏡的競爭將變得更加激烈。想要贏得市場的關鍵不在於 AI 技術本身，而是如何將時尚、AI、硬體、驗光與零售通路等各方面完美結合，打造出一款真正讓消費者願意每天配戴的眼鏡。
