Market Overview:
The global virtual reality headsets market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 25% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for VR headsets from various applications such as games, medicine, film and television, and other applications. In terms of type, the circumscribed type VR headsets are expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. However, integrated type VR headsets are expected to witness higher growth rates owing to their growing popularity among consumers. Geographically, North America is estimated to account for a major share of the global virtual reality headsets market in 2018.
Product Definition:
A virtual reality headset is a head-mounted device that provides immersive virtual reality experience. It consists of two small displays, one in front of each eye, and stereo headphones. The display presents images which are slightly different to each eye, so that when the brain fuses the two together, it creates an illusion of depth. This gives the user a sense that they are actually inside the virtual world being displayed.
Circumscribed Type:
Circumscribed type is a term used to define a limited range of motion that can be seen in the peripheral vision. It’s caused by the visual field constrictions which are usually hereditary and occur in both eyes simultaneously. The affected individual will see only objects that are directly in front of them or slightly beyond their reach, but not things that are located at an angle off to the side.
Integrated Type:
Integrated type is a technology that allows the user to interact with the virtual world by using only one hand and any body part of their choosing. For instance, if integrated touch technology is used in a VR headset, then users can use their hands to reach out and touch objects in the virtual world.
The major advantage of integrated type over other types such as motion tracking or Leap Motion is that it does not require any additional devices or sensors for its functioning.
Application Insights:
The games segment dominated the global virtual reality headsets market in 2017. The games are developed and published according to the demand and popularity. For instance, a game developer who has created successful VR games can introduce new products or develop an upgraded version of its existing products easily as compared to other developers without any prior experience in VR technology. This is expected to drive the growth of this application segment over the forecast period.
Film and television was another major application segment accounted for more than 20% share of global revenue in 2017 due largely to high demand from film producers, directors, actors and animators for creating unique experiences by immersing them into different worlds through 360 degree videos or 3D films which have become popular recently with advent of Virtual Reality Technology (VRT). Other applications include education, transportation etc., which are yet to be widely adopted but have potentials for growth owing largely due their low costs compared with other applications such as medicine or gaming consoles that offer higher performance at present prices levels.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in terms of revenue share in 2017. The growth can be attributed to the presence of a large number of technology companies such as HTC, Samsung Electronics, and Google Inc., which are engaged in developing high-end VR headsets for consumers. Moreover, these companies are also working on developing new content based on VR technology that will increase its penetration across North American countries.
Asia Pacific is expected to emerge as the fastest growing regional market over the forecast period owing to increasing investments by industry players such as Facebook and Sony Corporation; expansion of retail outlets; rise in disposable income levels among middle class population groups; and rising adoption by enterprises for business purposes. Furthermore, China has emerged as a major consumer base for global manufacturers due to low manufacturing costs coupled with abundant availability of labor at economical costs compared to other countries around the world (Sarraf & Sohrabpoorabadi 2012).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for Virtual Reality Headsets from the gaming industry as it offers an immersive experience to the users.
- Growing popularity of VR content among consumers due to its ability to provide a realistic experience.
- Increasing adoption of VR headsets by businesses for training and simulation purposes.
- Proliferation of affordable VR headsets that are compatible with a wide range of devices and platforms.
- Development of innovative applications and features for VR headsets that will attract more consumers
