The first day of China's Double 11 shopping festival saw a significant surge in sales of AI glasses and AI toys, with Tmall reporting a 2500% increase and JD.com seeing a 346% growth in AI glasses sales compared to last year. This trend is expected to continue throughout 2026, driven by increasing interest in AI-related products.

The popularity of AI products, particularly AI glasses and toys, is expected to continue, with many companies investing in AI technology and products. This boom is also reflected on social media platforms like Douyin, where AI-related keywords have seen a significant increase in searches, indicating a growing interest in AI-powered products among consumers and highlighting the potential for social commerce in this area.
