XREAL Announces Groundbreaking Collaborations at CES 2025

Global AR Leader XREAL Showcases Revolutionary New Experiences in Collaboration with Industry Titans

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7, 2025 /CNW/ -- XREAL, the worldwide leader in augmented reality (AR), is announcing a series of groundbreaking collaborations and a new distributor agreement at the annual Consumer Electronics Show 2025 trade show (CES). These collaborations highlight XREAL's continued commitment to transforming how the world interacts with AR technology and deliver unparalleled immersive experiences, while amplifying sector leaders' unique contributions in the exciting space.

XREAL is today's AR market leader. The brand has held the consumer augmented and extended reality market leadership position in terms of shipments since it began shipping AR glasses in 2021, reaching more than half-a-million shipments life-to-date. According to IDC, XREAL maintained the industry leading market share for the global AR and optical see-thru (OST) industry throughout the first three quarters of 2024*. Also in 2024, XREAL was the only augmented and extended reality company to rank among the top five global companies by market share for the broader ARVR industry. XREAL has been in the top five ARVR companies for market share by shipments for six consecutive quarters, and has remained the only augmented and extended reality (non-VR) company to break into the top five.*

This week at CES, XREAL will showcase its latest innovations, including its brand new XREAL One Series AR glasses and its Beam Pro handheld spatial compute device. In addition, the company is proud to unveil new and renewed collaborations with world-renowned industry leaders such as BMW Group, Google, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., Bose, T-Mobile, Mawari and more. Also this week, the XR Sports Alliance (XRSA) has announced its first cohort of members, including XREAL.

"We are proud to be leading from the front for AR technology and excited to welcome our new collaborators who are all leaders in their respective fields," said Chi Xu, CEO and Co-founder, XREAL.
