The AI Era Edge Hardware Revolution: Lens Technology’s Vision and Execution
AI Edge Era Begins: 2026 Designated “Year One,” Market to Surpass $800 Billion
The address underscored that generative AI is swiftly embedding into smartphones, PCs, smart glasses, vehicles, and robots. Industry authorities forecast edge AI device penetration exceeding 75% by 2028, with the market expanding beyond $800 billion. 2026 is positioned as the definitive “AI Edge Year One.” IDC projects 150 million next-generation AI smartphone shipments in China in 2027, alongside explosive growth in AI glasses and AI PCs.
Through systematic innovation across “materials + processes + equipment,” Lens Technology has established full technical coverage of core AI edge domains. R&D spending reached RMB 2.44 billion in the first three quarters of 2025, sustaining an R&D-to-revenue ratio consistently above 4%, with cumulative post-IPO investment exceeding RMB 20 billion.
Three Irreplicable Core Strengths Create an Impenetrable AI Hardware Moat
- R&D Leadership: Cross-Domain Technology Migration Consumer-electronics precision-processing expertise is rapidly repurposed for automotive glass, optical waveguides, and robotic joint modules. Glass substrate programs are advancing, positioned to displace conventional aluminum substrates and open a multi-billion-dollar market.
- Manufacturing Integration: Full-Stack Vertical Barrier The industry’s pioneering “single-flow” glass production line condenses over 200 processes into 50, delivering micron-level quality control and reliable million-unit throughput. Proprietary molds, tooling, and automation systems, paired with best-in-class ODM turnkey solutions.
- Ecosystem Transformation: From Supplier to Strategic Solution Partner Front-end R&D co-creation with customers has enabled volume production of Zhiyuan Lingxi robots and Alipay smart terminals. 2025 humanoid robot shipments are forecast at 3,000 units and quadruped robots above 10,000 units, ranking Lens in the global first tier for complete-machine assembly.
Consumer Electronics: Elevating from Components to Complete Systems – Redefining Value Boundaries
Lens provides exclusive end-to-end delivery for Rokid AI glasses, spanning optical waveguides, structural components, and final assembly. The Alipay “Tap-to-Pay” program delivers seamless ODM services from concept to volume production. Objectives: secure core-supplier status with leading AI glasses brands within two years; achieve global top-tier complete-machine assembly share by 2027; and establish global leadership in the optical waveguide domain through strategic deployments in nano-imprint, etching, and silicon carbide technologies.
Automotive Electronics: Intelligent Cockpit Revolution Fuels Per-Vehicle Value Growth
Lens commands a 20.9% global share in automotive interaction systems—the industry’s top position—collaborating with over 30 domestic and international OEMs. Ultra-thin laminated glass is slated for million-vehicle annual supply in 2026, incorporating acoustic insulation, thermal regulation, and electrochromic functionality. Parallel expansion into in-vehicle communication modules and domain controllers targets further market-share gains by 2027.
Embodied Intelligence: World’s Premier Hardware Platform Emerges
Lens has integrated into North American and Chinese flagship robot supply chains, achieving mass production of joint modules and dexterous hands. Humanoid robot core components and complete systems are set to multiply several-fold in 2026, with shipments attaining global leadership by 2027.
Three-Year Business Plan: Precision Roadmap to Market Leadership
Over the next three years, Lens will prioritize edge hardware, multimodal integration, and next-generation materials to emerge as a global frontrunner in AI edge hardware manufacturing:
- Consumer Electronics: AI glasses complete-machine assembly in global top tier by 2027; optical-waveguide world leader
- Automotive Electronics: Million-vehicle ultra-thin laminated glass supply in 2026; expanded market share in 2027
- Robotics: Core components and complete machines scale several-fold in 2026; global shipment primacy in 2027
Chairwoman Ms. Zhou Qunfei closed with the following statement: “AI’s true value is realized through hardware. Supply-chain resilience and relentless innovation are the foundation of this revolution. From a single pane of glass to the indispensable piece of the AI hardware puzzle, Lens Technology invites global partners to co-create the trillion-dollar future.”

*Numbers may fluctuate
From September 2025 to April 2026, the program combined consistent distributions with practical assistance. During this time, more than 1,700 food boxes were delivered, helping ensure access to essential nutrition for elderly residents.
The initiative also included healthcare support. Around 300 people received vision checks, with 152 of them receiving eyeglasses based on the results. In addition, approximately 300 people received medicines each month, supporting the management of common health conditions.
Additional assistance included the distribution of first aid kits, hygiene kits, and prepared meals, helping cover both daily needs and immediate care.
Members of the Olymptrade community also took part in the initiative, joining two distribution days to help with the process and spend time with elderly residents.
The eight-month program marks an important milestone in the partnership, but not its conclusion. Olymptrade plans to continue supporting local communities through similar initiatives, guided by a simple principle: Care that counts.
