The virtual reality market is estimated to grow from USD 1.37 Billion in 2015 to USD 33.90 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 57.8% between 2016 and 2022. The base year considered for the study is 2015, and the market size forecast is given for the period between 2016 and 2022.
The objectives of the study are as follows:
- To define, describe, and forecast the global virtual reality (VR) market on the basis of VR component, technology, device type, application, and geography
- To forecast the market size for various segments with regard to four main regions, namely, the North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World (RoW)
- To provide detailed information regarding the major factors influencing the growth of the market (drivers, restraints, opportunities, and industry-specific challenges)
- To strategically analyze the micromarkets with respect to individual growth trends, future prospects, and contributions to the total market
- To use the Porters five forces model to gauge the entry barriers to this market, along with the analysis of the value chain and market roadmaps to study the evolution and timeline of the virtual reality market
- To strategically profile key players, comprehensively analyze their market share and core competencies, and describe the competitive landscape of the market
- To analyze competitive developments such as joint ventures, mergers & acquisitions, new product developments, and research & development in the virtual reality market
The research methodology used to estimate and forecast the virtual reality market begins with capturing data on key vendor revenues through secondary research. The vendor offerings are also taken into consideration to determine the market segmentation. The bottom-up procedure was employed to arrive at the overall size of the global virtual reality market from the revenues of the key players. After arriving at the overall market size, the total market was split into several segments and subsegments which are then verified through primary research by conducting extensive interviews with industry experts such as CEOs, VPs, directors, and executives. The data triangulation and market breakdown procedures were employed to complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all segments and subsegments. Some of these secondary sources include organizations and associations such as VR/AR Association, Global Virtual Reality Association, and AsiaVR Association among others.
The breakdown of profiles of primary respondents is depicted in the figure below.

The virtual reality market size, in terms of value, is expected to grow from USD 1.37 Billion in 2015 to USD 33.90 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 57.8% between 2016 and 2022. The increasing use of head-mounted displays (HMD) in the entertainment and gaming sector, decline in the prices of displays and other hardware components of HMDs, and use of VR for training and simulation in the defense sector are the major driving factors for the market.
This report segments the virtual reality market based on component, technology, device type, application, and geography. The market is further segmented on the basis of geography into various countries. The consumer application is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. The consumer application in the market which includes gaming and entertainment applications accounted for the largest share. The large share can be attributed to the high penetration of this sector in the gaming industry. A major factor that is driving the growth of the virtual reality market includes the penetration of HMD in the gaming and entertainment industries. The commercial application would be the second-largest market during the forecast period, owing to the increasing demand for VR devices in the retail sector and for the purpose of educational training. The increased interest of large technology companies in VR has been one of the major driving factors for the growth of the market.
North America is expected to hold the largest size of the virtual reality market, while the market in Asia-Pacific is estimated to grow at the highest rate. Countries such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea in the APAC region are witnessing a huge demand for head-mounted displays for the gaming application. The increased number of start-ups and the increased acceptance for the VR technology in the APAC region are the market drivers.
Head-mounted displays are increasingly being used for applications such as consumer, commercial, medical, industrial sectors among others. In advanced gaming, HMD facilitates quality effects and an environment that enables a user to experience the thrill of gaming. The use of HMDs in other applications such as education and training, facility management are some of the drivers for the growth of the virtual reality market for HMDs.
However, the display latency and energy consumption affect the overall performance of the VR devices. Also, lack of movement and health concerns related to low resolution are the restraining factors for the growth of the virtual reality market.
The key players in virtual reality market include Oculus VR, LLC (US), Sony Corporation (Japan), HTC Corporation (Taiwan), Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (South Korea), EON Reality Inc. (US), Google Inc. (US), Microsoft Corporation (US), Vuzix Corporation (US), CyberGlove Systems Inc. (US), Sensics, Inc. (US), Leap Motion Inc. (US), and Sixense Entertainment, Inc. (US). These players adopted various strategies such as new product developments, partnerships, collaborations, and acquisitions to cater to the needs of the customers in the market.
