Virtual Reality Headset Market Size Worth $59.63 Billion By 2030

Virtual Reality Headset Market Growth & Trends

The global virtual reality headset market size is expected to reach USD 59.63 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 30.6% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The rapid penetration of smartphones along with the continuous advancements in virtual reality (VR) technology are expected to drive market growth. The rising product adoption in the education and healthcare sectors, mainly for teaching & training purposes, is further contributing to the growth of the market.

The increasing product usage along with feature updates in devices for different applications across industries, especially during and after the period of the Covid-19 pandemic, is also driving the market growth. For instance, in January 2023, Facebook Technologies, LLC (Oculus) introduced new feature for heart rate tracking in Health Connect by Android integration on Meta Quest. This feature will help an individual to keep track of their daily fitness statistics. The deployment of these devices increased as temporary lockdowns imposed by the government impelled people to shift to virtual platforms for various services. For instance, the demand for head-mounted displays witnessed a surge in demand during the pandemic.

Moreover, innovations in the 3D technology and integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with virtual reality headset are providing growth opportunities to the market, particularly in the manufacturing and automation industries. Virtual reality technology enhances the efficiency of product development while helping in minimizing faults in the system. The product usage for training purposes on the production line and for remotely conducting maintenance and repair tasks provides an effective control over the production cost. Businesses are embracing state-of-the-art devices with the latest features, such as sensors for motion tracking, eye tracking, gesture input, spatial sound, and voice support, which is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
