Enhancements in AR Device Design Boost Asia Pacific AR Waveguide Market

With the increasing adoption of AR technology in sectors such as industrial and media & entertainment, there is an increased need for advanced display technologies that offer superior performance and address the limitations of current solutions. The integration of volume holographic optical waveguides helps enhance the performance and design of AR devices, catering to the increasing consumer preference for AR wearable and portable solutions. This fosters innovation in AR device design. Volume holographic optical waveguides offer several advantages in AR device design. They enable the development of lightweight and compact AR devices without compromising on optical performance. This allows for comfortable and enhanced immersive user experiences. The use of holographic elements in waveguides also provides wider fields of view, which is a crucial factor in creating a more realistic and engaging AR experience. Thus, enhancements in AR device design are anticipated to create numerous opportunities for the AR waveguide market growth during the forecast period.

Asia Pacific AR Waveguide Market Overview

The Asia Pacific AR waveguide market is segmented into Australia, India, China, Japan, South Korea, and the Rest of Asia Pacific. AR optical waveguide modules are in high demand due to the growing implementation of AR technology in the healthcare, automotive, and aerospace industries. There is a rise in expenditures on AR technology and a surge in demand for sophisticated display solutions in India, South Korea, and Japan. Countries, including Japan, South Korea, and China, are widely incorporating AR waveguide technology into their military operations, as it helps improve situational awareness, precision, and real-time tactical intelligence for soldiers. Further, various startups in China are involved in the development of underwater AR goggles. For example, in January 2022, Guangli Technology, a Chinese augmented reality business, raised more than US$ 157 million in a Series A round. The funds will be used to expand the consumer AR smart glasses market, develop light field and holography technologies, and increase production capacity. The corporation plans to accelerate the introduction of next-generation items to boost its business.

Moreover, players across the region are collaborating to increase the manufacturing of AR waveguides. For example, in January 2024, DigiLens Inc. collaborated with India's Kaynes Technology India Limited to scale waveguide manufacturing. Kaynes Technology, a provider of electronic component manufacturing for the space research, defense, aerospace, railway, healthcare, automotive, and other commercial sectors, is strategically positioned as a DigiLens licensee to scale waveguide manufacturing to aid in the delivery of DigiLens' flagship Augmented Reality (AR) device-the DigiLens ARGO-in India. Kaynes Technology and DigiLens will work together at Kaynes Semicon Pvt Ltd, a 100% subsidiary of Kaynes Technology, in their Green Field plant in Hyderabad. Such instances in the region drive then growth of the AR waveguide market.
