Analyst Opinion

The AR Software market in EU-27 is experiencing significant growth and development due to increasing customer preferences for immersive and interactive experiences, as well as advancements in technology and the availability of high-speed internet.

Customer preferences:
Customers in the EU-27 region are increasingly seeking immersive and interactive experiences, and AR software provides them with the opportunity to engage with digital content in a more realistic and engaging way. The ability to overlay virtual objects onto the real world, whether through mobile devices or specialized AR headsets, allows users to interact with digital content in a more intuitive and natural manner. This has led to a growing demand for AR software across various industries, including gaming, entertainment, retail, and healthcare.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the AR Software market in EU-27 is the growing adoption of AR in the gaming industry. AR games, such as Pokemon Go, have gained immense popularity in the region, attracting a large number of users and generating significant revenue. This has prompted game developers to invest in the development of AR games, driving the demand for AR software. Another trend in the market is the integration of AR technology in the retail sector. Retailers are leveraging AR software to enhance the shopping experience for customers by allowing them to virtually try on clothes, visualize furniture in their homes, or see how products will look in real-life settings. This not only improves customer engagement but also helps in reducing return rates and increasing sales.

Local special circumstances:
The EU-27 region is known for its strict data protection and privacy regulations. This has implications for the AR Software market, as companies need to ensure compliance with these regulations when collecting and processing user data. Additionally, the region has a diverse cultural and linguistic landscape, which poses challenges for AR software developers in terms of localization and customization of content to cater to the preferences and needs of different countries and regions within the EU-27.

The region has a strong digital infrastructure, with widespread access to high-speed internet and a high smartphone penetration rate. This enables users to access and use AR software seamlessly, driving the demand for such applications. Furthermore, the EU-27 region has a robust startup ecosystem and supportive government policies for innovation and technology. This has fostered the growth of AR software startups, attracting investments and driving innovation in the market. The availability of funding and resources has enabled these startups to develop cutting-edge AR software solutions, further fueling the growth of the market. In conclusion, the AR Software market in EU-27 is experiencing significant growth and development due to increasing customer preferences for immersive and interactive experiences, advancements in technology, and the availability of high-speed internet. The adoption of AR in gaming and retail sectors, strict data protection regulations, and underlying macroeconomic factors such as digital infrastructure and supportive government policies are key drivers of the market growth in the region.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on AR software revenue, which includes revenues related to in-app purchases as well as revenues from the purchase of social media, gaming, and eCommerce apps.

Modeling approach / market size:

The market size is determined through a top-down approach. We use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies and industry associations, as well as third-party studies and reports to analyze the markets. To estimate the market size for each country individually, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific industry associations, such as consumer spending, internet penetration, 4G coverage, and historical developments.

Forecasts:

We apply a variety of forecasting techniques, depending on the behavior of the relevant market. For instance, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing are well suited for forecasting digital products and services due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption. The main drivers are level of digitalization, adoption of technology, GDP per capita, and internet penetration.

Additional notes:

The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. In some cases, the data is updated on an ad hoc basis (e.g., when new, relevant data has been released or significant changes within the market have an impact on the projected development).
