COVID-19 has adversely impacted the supply chain of the VR market

The growth rate of the VR market is likely to witness a significant drop in the first two quarters of 2020, due to the widespread of the coronavirus. It is expected that COVID-19 will adversely impact the supply chain of the VR market as most of the players are based in APAC, which is among the most affected region. Also, in light of the current situation, major VR players are focusing on education, healthcare, and enterprise applications of VR to reduce the loss and recover at a rapid pace.

North America to hold the largest market share in 2019

North America held the major market share in the VR market in 2019. North America would have a slightly lower growth rate than APAC during the forecast period. The adoption rate of AR devices is likely to be high in APAC during the forecast period. The enterprise application in North America would witness a high growth due to the high adoption of new technologies by enterprises. The VR market in North America would witness high growth owing to the use of VR in gaming and entertainment, sports, and enterprise applications. For example, US athletes use VR technology to prepare for the Winter Olympics. The US Ski and Snowboard have been working with a VR training start-up based in California, Strivr. The national governing body uses Strivr's platform to train their athletes for World Cup competitions and the Olympics.

Strong presence of VR companies in the US likely to drive

Presence of companies such as Google (US). Facebook (US), Microsoft (US), DAQRI (US), and PTC (US) in the region drive the growth of the VR and AR market. The use of VR technology for marketing and promotion campaigns would help the VR market grow faster in the country. The construction sector is among the fastest-growing sectors in the US. It is likely to witness high growth with the use of VR technology.
