Location-based Virtual Reality Market Dynamics (including market size, share, trends, forecast, growth, forecast, and industry analysis)
Key Drivers
The key drivers contributing to the growth of the global location-based virtual reality market are the surging adoption of VR devices for entertainment along with the increasing application of VR technology in VR devices for gaming applications like motion controllers. The growing adoption of VR technology among consumers raises investment in technology and is anticipated to decrease the prices of VR devices and components like joysticks, camera, and VR handset in the near future. All these factors together will boost the market growth over the forecast period. Also, the increasing expenditure power led by the rising disposable income, is strengthening the market share.
The augmenting popularity of 360-degree content is further fuelling the market growth. Expanding innovations in VR technology like 3D, 4D, and 5D, coupled with the development in 360-degree content and VR, are further supporting the growth of the market. However, the huge cost associated with VR content development may hinder the growth of the global location-based virtual reality market.
Type Segment Drivers
Based on type, the hardware segment is projected to dominate the global location-based virtual reality market over the forecast period. The hardware segment consists of a head-mounted display, head-up display, sensor, camera, and glasses. The head-mounted display is one of the main components of virtual reality headsets and includes liquid crystal on silicon (LCos), cathode ray tubes (CRT), organic light-emitting diodes (OLED), or liquid-crystal displays (LCDs). On the other hand, virtual reality sensor segment is predicted to expand at a higher CAGR during the forecast period attributed to its use in translating movement into a virtual environment and allowing to measure motion and direction in space. Moreover, the virtual reality sensor helps to achieve the six degrees of freedom, which are three translation movements up/down, forward/back, right/left, and three rotational movements pitch, yaw, and roll.
Regional Drivers
On the basis of region, Asia-pacific is anticipated to grow at a faster CAGR over the forecast period due to the growing adoption of location-based VR devices, which encourage industry players to invest in this region.
