Research and Markets - Global Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality Market 2016-2022 - Key Players in the $150 Billion Market are Microsoft, Google and Oculus VR
DUBLIN, June 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality Market by Device Type (HMD, HUD, Handheld Device, Gesture Tracking, Projector and Display Wall), Component (Sensor, Display, Camera, and Software), Vertical, and Geography - Global Forecast to 2022" report to their offering.
The global augmented reality market is expected to reach USD 117.40 Billion by 2022 at a CAGR of 75.72%
The market holds a great potential in retail and e-commerce sectors. Smartphones enabled with AR devices are expected to propel the growth of the augmented reality market in the future. The virtual reality market is expected to reach USD 33.90 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 57.84% during the forecast period. The growing market for head mounted displays in gaming and entertainment sectors is a driving factor for the dynamic growth of the VR market.
The growing demand of augmented reality technology in verticals such as consumer, commercial, and medical would help in the growth of the AR market. The AR market for consumer vertical is expected to hold the largest market share. AR applications provide digital information and 3D visualization of physical objects and hence are used in gaming and entertainment applications. The market for the commercial vertical is expected to grow at a high CAGR during the forecast period. The commercial vertical includes retail, marketing, and tourism among others. AR in this sector is used for advertising and marketing products.
In the virtual world, a user can navigate through simulated 3D images, interact with objects, and be immersed completely in that environment. Eventually, with the development of better software, hardware, and motion-control and tracking technologies, virtual reality technology would be enhanced further. Initially, VR was used in entertainment and aerospace & defense applications, now it is being used in gaming, industrial, medical, commercial, education, and many other applications.
The consumer vertical holds the largest market share. The consumer vertical includes gaming and entertainment applications. The augmented reality and virtual reality market for software components is expected to grow at a high rate. The software component comprises software developer kits (SDKs) that are used for various operating system platforms with HMDs. Hence the demand for software components is expected to increase.
Microsoft Corporation (U.S.), Google Inc. (U.S.), and Oculus VR (U.S.) are few major key players in the AR and VR market. They adopt various strategies such as acquisitions, partnerships, and collaborations to expand their product portfolio and increase their market share.
