Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Surge in wide adoption of augmented reality and virtual reality in infotainment industry
Growing demand for head-mounted displays (HMDs) in gaming and entertainment, adoption of augmented reality and virtual reality market for marketing strategies, and increasing demand for AR/VR in the retail and e-commerce industry are key factors positively impacting the AR/VR market growth. Furthermore, rising demand for augmented and virtual reality devices in the manufacturing and healthcare sectors and increased investments and funding by key market players to develop AR/VR solutions are propelling market growth.
- Importance of augmented reality in healthcare sector.
In the healthcare industry, augmented reality plays a critical role. AR can be used to show a surgeon a virtual view of a patient's body parts. This can assist the surgeon in performing minimally invasive surgeries. Augmented reality modelling and 3D visualisation are expected to benefit the healthcare sector. The use of augmented reality (AR) for improving fitness, teaching complex subjects to medical students, training doctors, managing pharmacies, and caring for and supporting patients after they leave the hospital is propelling the augmented reality and virtual reality market in this sector forward.
Opportunity
The industrial automation industry is expected to encourage augmented reality and virtual reality market to improve communication between self-monitoring devices, production machines, machine-to-machine communication (M2M), and the internet of things (IoT). The significant demand for AR/VR from manufacturing industries is expected to provide market participants with ample opportunities in the future.
Restraints
The high investment required for AR/VR development and SoC integration is a major factor impeding the growth of the augmented and virtual reality markets. In addition, issues with security compliance and rising cyber-attacks as a result of a lack of security standards are major factors challenging market dynamics. Furthermore, a lack of technical expertise, which results in data manipulation, spoofing, sniffing, cyber-attacks, and man-in-the-middle attacks, is expected to pose some challenges to market growth.

COVID-19 Impact on Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality Market
The COVID 19 has accelerated digitization and provided a much-needed boost to global technology adoption. These technologies are useful in a variety of industries, including healthcare, education, tourism, retail, and others. After the lockdown restrictions are lifted, the pandemic's behavioral changes will last much longer, if not forever. People would remain socially distant while being virtually close using augmented reality and virtual reality market technologies and extended reality. Businesses would be able to run and grow regardless of the challenges posed by social distancing if AR/VR platforms were available. Furthermore, as internet connectivity improves, more people will be able to work from remote locations and smartphones, allowing the masses to work online.
Recent Development
- Epson America, Inc., a division of Japan's Seiko Epson Corporation, partnered with 3D HoloGroup (US), a company that specialises in AR software architecture and systems integration, to sell Epson's AR glasses in March 2020.
- PTC acquired TWNKLS (Netherlands), a provider of practical AR solutions for Industry 4.0, in June 2019 to accelerate the development of AR enterprise apps.
- Microsoft released the second-generation HoloLens, the HoloLens 2, in May 2019. The HoloLens 2 complete set includes free trials of Unity Pro, Azure credits, and the Unity PiXYZ CAD data plugin. In addition, the company announced Unreal Engine 4 support for HoloLens 2, which will provide customers with a more realistic experience.
