Meta Reports Triple Year-Over-Year Growth in Smart Glasses Daily Usage Amid Rising Competition
Meta Says Smart Glasses Daily Usage Tripled Year-Over-Year
During its Q1 2026 earnings call, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated that daily usage of the company's smart glasses tripled year-over-year, describing them as one of the fastest-growing consumer electronics categories. This claim follows February data from partner EssilorLuxottica, which reported selling 7 million Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta units in 2025. Bloomberg previously noted discussions between Meta and EssilorLuxottica about potentially doubling or tripling production capacity, though completion is unconfirmed. The announcement comes as competition intensifies: Google confirmed Gemini-powered smart glasses from Warby Parker and Gentle Monster will launch this fall, while Apple is rumored to enter the market in 2027.
