China added AI glasses to its national subsidy program in 2026. Retail platform
data show mainstream AI glasses transaction value rose over 200% YoY in May,
supported by stronger tourism-driven shopping demand. In Shenzhen's Huaqiangbei
electronics market, AI glasses are prominently displayed, priced about 100–5,000
yuan, with heavy daily purchases by overseas visitors. Sales have been climbing
since H2 last year and the product has repeatedly featured on local best‑seller
lists.
