The research report titled, 'Global Immersive Technologies Market by Offering (Hardware, Software, Services), Technology (Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, Mixed Reality, Haptics), Application (Training & Learning, Remote Collaboration), Sector, and Geography-Forecast to 2031,' provides an in-depth analysis of the immersive technologies market across five major geographies and emphasizes on the current market trends, market sizes, market shares, recent developments, and forecasts till 2031. The immersive technologies market is projected to reach $676.1 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 30.6% from 2024 to 2031.
The growth of this market is attributed to growing investment and rising adoption of immersive technologies in the healthcare sector for training, and the emergence of the metaverse and web 3.0. However, the high cost of hardware is restraining market growth. In addition, the growing demand for 3D graphics and real-time 3D skills, and the rising adoption of immersive technologies in architecture, engineering, and construction are expected to create significant opportunities for this market. A shortage of skilled professionals challenges this market growth.
The global immersive technologies market is segmented based on offering (hardware, software, and services), technology (augmented reality, virtual reality, mixed reality, and haptics), application (training & learning, remote collaboration, visualization, promotion & advertising, product development, remote assistance, content creation, metaverse, and other applications), sector (education, automotive, aerospace & defense, manufacturing, retail & e-commerce, healthcare & medical devices, real estate, construction, media and entertainment, and other sectors), and geography. The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyses the regional & country-level markets.
Based on offering, the global immersive technologies market is segmented into hardware, software, and services. In 2024, the hardware segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global immersive technologies market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to factors such as the growing adoption of virtual reality headsets for consumer and commercial applications, and the rising focus of key players on product development & enhancement. For instance, in June 2023, Meta Platforms, Inc. (U.S.) announced the company's next-generation mixed-reality headset. This new headset boasts several upgrades compared to its predecessor. Notably, it features a sleeker design, with its thickness reduced by 40%.
However, the software segment is expected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of this segment is driven by the rising need for software for remote collaboration, product development, and content creation.
Based on technology, the global immersive technologies market is segmented into augmented reality, virtual reality, mixed reality, and haptics. In 2024, the virtual reality segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global immersive technologies market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the benefits of virtual reality, such as improved learning, flexibility to create various types of environments or experiences, and increasing investments by technology companies.
However, the mixed reality segment is expected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
