Definition:

Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) make it possible to combine the real and virtual worlds. AR is generally accessed via mobile phones and primarily relies on lenses. AR effects can be created by using lenses in social media apps, for example. AR is also used for displaying digital 3D objects in our surroundings, e.g., in gaming or eCommerce apps. Meanwhile, VR technology allows users to dive into the virtual world, and, unlike AR technology, it requires a headset device which enables the creation of virtual worlds.

The AR & VR market consists of six different markets: AR Advertising, AR Hardware, AR Software, VR Advertising, VR Hardware, and VR Software. AR Advertising covers mobile advertising that is displayed in the most prominent social media apps. AR Hardware comprises AR headsets and glasses. AR Software is divided into three different application types, namely social media, gaming, and eCommerce applications, which can be accessed via the most prominent app stores. VR Advertising covers in-game advertising as well as advertising in VR videos. VR Hardware comprises both tethered head-mounted displays (HMDs) and stand-alone HMD headsets. Lastly, VR Software covers VR games and VR videos, which require headsets.

    Methodology

    Data coverage:

    The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on the AR & VR market. AR and VR enable consumers to experience a new dimension, using either a headset or installed units, as they combine the real and virtual worlds. Consumer revenue figures refer to revenues relating to AR hardware, AR software, VR hardware, VR software, and spending on AR and VR advertising. Both digital and non-digital revenues are included.

    Modeling approach / Market size:

    Market sizes are determined through a top-down approach, building on specific predefined factors for each market market. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies and industry associations, as well as third-party studies and reports. In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as consumer spending, internet penetration, 4G coverage, and historical developments. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

    Forecasts:

    In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, 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 market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change. The data is modeled using current exchange rates. 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).
