By application, the enterprise segment is expected to grow at the highest growth rate in virtual reality market during the forecast period
VR is used in the industrial vertical mainly for the training of personnel, providing information about the industrial facility, remodeling and redesigning, and industrial simulations. Traditionally, training was conducted using classroom methods; however, the introduction of VR has added a new dimension to the training methodology. Using VR, a high level of immersion can be achieved that can help a trainee understand things in a better way.
By technology, the Semi & Fully Immersive technology holds the largest share of the virtual reality market
The fully immersive technology-based VR devices enable users to feel the virtual environment in a realistic way. Head-mounted displays (HMD) or VR goggles offer a fully immersive virtual reality environment. In this technology, the virtual environment responds to the users actions. A user, once equipped with HMDs and other headsets, is virtually isolated and is unable to respond to any activities or actions in the real environment. Flight simulators and automotive simulators are examples of semi-immersive VR systems. With the help of these simulators, a user can experience virtual reality; however, the user is not completely engrossed in the VR environment and is conscious about the real world.
APAC to account for the largest market size during the forecast period in virtual reality market
APAC is expected to hold the largest market size in the VR market during the forecast period, followed by the North America region. APAC comprises China, Japan, India, South Korea, and Rest of APAC. Being an emerging economy, APAC is witnessing major changes in the adoption of new technologies and advancements. Owing to the presence of a number of display panel manufacturers in the region, APAC witnesses an increasing adoption of latest technologies. The VR market in APAC is expected to grow at a high rate in sectors such as healthcare, commercial, and consumer. The increasing number of players in the region would boost the growth of the virtual reality market. The high growth in commercial and consumer markets is the major factor driving the growth of the VR market in APAC.
Virtual Reality Market Dynamics
Driver: Penetration of HMDs in gaming and entertainment sector
The use of HMDs has been high in the gaming and entertainment sector. The gaming industry has had a technological evolution with the emergence of VR and 3D technology. The use of HMDs has helped in achieving a fully immersive experience for users and has taken the gaming experience to the next level. The flawless transition achieved with the use of VR HMDs has helped bring in a unique and enhanced experience to the users. HMDs have a high penetration rate in the video gaming sector. Video game users prefer HMDs for enriching experience and entertainment. HMDs project digital images, enabling a 3D view, which enhance the user experience. Therefore, the growing gaming sector would drive the market for HMDs and in turn the VR. This market growth is expected especially in North America and Europe.
Restraint: Display latency and energy consumption affect overall performance of VR devices
The prime function of VR-enabled devices is to generate images from a dynamic or a static source. Latency can be defined as any delay that increases the real or perceived response time compared with the required response time. Certain factors such as imbalance in data processing speed between the microprocessor and input or output devices can cause latency in VR applications. Users perceive the quality of the device on the basis of image quality it displays. A delay in the projection degrades the overall quality of VR-enabled devices.
There will be a deviation of location from the exact position if there is an issue in the measurement of the view point. Thus, the VR system requires a minimal latency to maintain the virtual entity at a stable position. The virtual object should not delay over 15 milliseconds while adapting to a new situation as it causes variation in the position of objects.
Energy consumption is another problem in VR applications. Consumers, especially in the gaming sector, require gadgets with long battery life. Sensors and other network interfaces also consume energy. Due to these complications, VR systems cannot be operated for a long duration.
At present, the impact of this restraint is medium; however, it is expected to be low over the next 34 years.
Opportunity: Penetration of HMDs in healthcare and architectural applications
VR is gradually being used for practical purposes. In the medical vertical, HMDs are used mainly in medical training applications. This technology is rapidly gaining importance among medical professionals and is expected to play an important role in assisting doctors and surgeons in the near future. HMDs are widely accepted in the medical vertical. With advanced interfaces, such as HMDs, medical professionals can perform surgeries easily and also provide post-operative care through VR simulation. HMD can thus make the medical sector more proactive in treating patients, and the increase in accuracy is expected in the next 57 years.
VR technologies have a major application in the architecture and design segment. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is used in the architecture and design sector to get a 3D view of building design and surrounding spaces. This gives a clear view and reduces errors and cost during the construction phase by using VR visualization models.
The VR platform provides a riveting view of the building design and an interactive, navigable, and immersive experience so that the client and architect can understand the structure and make suitable modifications prior to the construction.
Challenge: Developing user-friendly VR systems
VR technology suppliers and developers face the challenge of developing user-friendly VR and tracking systems. A user-friendly virtual environment allows a user to easily navigate and interact with objects in the virtual environment. The VR system is a combination of hardware and software components. VR devices track a users movements through different sensors and array them on the virtual display. The development of VR software and virtual content is a challenging task for developers as the virtual content displayed must satisfy the users needs. This would ensure easy acceptance and increase the penetration of VR devices among the masses.
