Sales of AI glasses in China surged during the Spring Festival, contributing to a 35% revenue increase in Shenzhen's Huaqiangbei electronics market. The sales boom, with AI glasses sales up by 80%, is attributed to pent-up consumer demand and the inclusion of AI glasses in the government's national subsidy program in January. The subsidy, capped at 500 yuan, applies to products under 6,000 yuan. Educators and business executives are driving demand, utilizing the glasses primarily for public speaking support. The trend reflects a growing interest in AI-powered wearable technology within the Chinese market.
