DUBLIN, Jan 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "5G and Virtual Reality: Emerging Technologies, Solutions, Market Outlook and Forecasts" report to their offering.

This research evaluates both the pre-5G VR base market as well as the what we refer to as the 5G Accelerated Uptake market in post-5G era. The report provides forecasting for VR by segments, applications, and regions including revenue forecasts for the period of 2021 - 2026. The report also forecasts VR shipment units and active users for the same period.

Virtual Reality (VR) technology and applications will undergo a substantial transformation during the pre-5G era, leading to mass adoption of full featured, mobile supported, and fully immersive VR technologies in post-5G era starting 2020 (along with the commercial deployment of 5G).

5G is expected to reduce network latency significantly, which will enable many previously tethered-only applications and services such as streaming 4K video, real-time remote control, haptic or tactile communications, and more. Coupled with the deployment of gigabit Ethernet fiber, 5G will transform the VR market, leading to a fully immersive experience with haptic capabilities becoming imbedded in many applications.

Key Findings:

- The base market for VR will reach 978M users by 2026
- The accelerated update due to 5G will lead to $72B revenue by 2026
- The combination of gigabit Ethernet and 5G to catapult VR penetration
- Semiconductor components will lead the H/W market with 40% market share
- Consumer VR apps to maintain a substantial lead over enterprise and industrial
