Market Research Future Insights

The augmented reality and virtual reality market size is projected to reach approximately USD 2,174.18 Billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 46.74% from 2022 to 2030. 

Virtual reality is a wide term for multi-sensory computer-generated knowledge that enables users to experience and interrelate with a simulated environment. Whereas, increased reality enhances the real world using digitally produced perceptual overlays. A rising number of industries are depending on AR and VR technology to augment their productivity, customer service, and communication. The global augmented and virtual reality market is influenced by numerous factors such as the proliferation of smartphones, the increase in popularity of gaming, the cost-efficient benefits of increased and virtual reality-based solutions, and the surge in adoption of AR and VR technologies by the enterprises are expected to drive the growth of augmented and virtual reality. The COVID-19 epidemic has significantly raised the growth rate of the market due to the augmented shift toward the adoption of virtual and increased reality technologies as a greater number of businesses have turned to remote work. This reasons the global market for AR and VR technology to re-evaluate its production methods, which mainly propels the digital transformation and industry 4.0 practices across the sector.

Market Segmentation

The global Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality (AR and VR) Market has been segmented into Technology, Offering, and Vertical

Based on Technology, the global Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality (AR and VR) Market has been segmented into marker-based (passive marker, active marker), marker-less (model-based, image processing-based), anchor-based, virtual reality, non-immersive, and semi and fully immersive. The semi and fully immersive segment accounted for the Maximum revenue share in the increased reality and virtual reality market. It is also anticipated to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The segment's growth can be attributed to the ongoing rush in demand for VR HMDs. In a digital platform, semi and fully-immersive technology repeat real-world surroundings' architecture. It requires using complex simulators, high-resolution displays, and powerful PCs. Students can use VR technology to practice cognitive and motor skills that they will not be talented to do in an educational setting.

Based on Offering, the global Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality (AR and VR) Market has been segmented into hardware, sensors, semiconductor components, displays and projectors, position trackers, cameras, and others (computer/video generator and combiner). The hardware segment had the Maximum revenue share and is anticipated to increase at the highest CAGR in the market during the forecast period. The growing use of smartphones, tablets, and other technologically progressive electronic devices is fueling segment growth.

Based on Vertical, the global Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality (AR and VR) Market has been segmented into consumer electronics, media & entertainment, automotive, healthcare, retail, aerospace & defense, manufacturing, teaching, BFSI, IT & telecommunication, travel & tourism, and real estate. The healthcare segment is projected to upsurge at the fastest rate during the forecast period owing to the wide range of opportunities for VR in the healthcare sector, counting medical marketing, disease consciousness, and medical learning and training. Immersive Touch, Inc. and Osso VR, Inc. offer virtual reality (VR) solutions to train medical students and surgeons. Furthermore, virtual surgeries, emergency exercises, and VR anatomy apps are in high demand to aid medical professionals to learn more precisely. Because of the rising demand for VR technology in the gaming and entertainment industries, the consumer segment is anticipated to grow significantly over the forecast period.
