The virtual reality market size is projected to reach USD 20.9 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 27.9% during the forecast period. Virtual reality (VR) technology provides the user a virtual environment with the help of computer hardware and software.
It provides a fully
immersive environment in which the user can interact with objects similar to
those in the real world. The VR technology works on components such as gesture
recognition systems, sensors, and embedded electronic components. The processor
helps to execute the input and gives an output by which the user can perceive
that the object is a part of the environment. Virtual reality technology has
several uses, especially in the military, consumer, training, education, and
retail sectors.
Based on device type,
the virtual reality market has been segmented into head-mounted displays,
gesture-tracking devices, and projectors and display walls. The market for
gesture-tracking devices is expected to witness the highest growth in the
virtual reality market.
Gesture-tracking devices
have been an integral part mainly because these are used for consumer
applications. Gaming with the use of gesture-tracking devices provides enhanced
experience of the virtual world to the users. The gesture-tracking devices can
be used prominently for medical training and simulation, and also in therapy.
Gesture-tracking devices are usually combined with head-mounted displays and
other fully immersive devices for active interaction with the virtual
environment.
Based on applications,
healthcare segment of VR market accounted for highest CAGR
By applications, the
virtual reality market has been segmented into aerospace & defense,
healthcare, consumer, commercial, enterprise (manufacturing), and others
(automotive, real estate, and geospatial mining). Virtual reality technology is
mainly used in training and educating medical students and new practitioners.
It is also used for the
treatment of phobia and for surgeries. Virtual reality technology allows
surgeons to perform surgery in a risk-free environment. A virtual reality
surgery provides safety as there is no risk to the patient, and surgeons can
get feedback as soon as they are done with the surgery. This helps healthcare
professionals gain experience and knowledge in their respective fields. Virtual
robotic surgery is a new development in the area of virtual reality medicines.
