The smart glasses sector is currently embroiled in what could be termed a "hundred-glasses contention," with a multitude of companies diving into the competitive arena. However, this burgeoning industry is marred by frequent disruptions and a lack of transparency. Some firms engage in the practice of inflating their shipment figures, going as far as to include framework contract orders or pre-orders in their tally of units sold. This deceptive tactic results in skewed public sales data, painting an inaccurate picture of the market's true health.

In contrast, upstream core suppliers, who possess the actual order data, are in a unique position to accurately gauge market conditions. Despite this, the investment community maintains a cautious stance towards the smart glasses sector.
