Meta isn’t just winning the smart glasses race. It’s lapping the field.
According to Counterpoint Research data from June 2026, Meta holds an 84% share of the global smart glasses market as of Q1 2026. To put that in perspective, every other company on the planet, from scrappy Chinese startups to established tech giants, is fighting over the remaining 16%.
The numbers behind Meta’s eyewear dominance
In 2025, global shipments of AI and smart glasses hit 8.7 million units total. Meta accounted for 7.4 million of those, per Omdia data, representing a 281% year-over-year increase.
Meta’s market share has been consistently north of 80% for a while now. The company held 82% in the second half of 2025 and 85.2% for the full year, according to Omdia. The Q1 2026 figure of 84% suggests a slight normalization.
