IDC expects 2021 VR and AR equipment shipments to grow by 517%

The market intelligence company IDC expects that the VR and AR markets will see significant growth. By 2021, shipments will increase from 9.6 million units this year to 59.2 million units. These market intelligence projects came from IDC's "Global Quarterly Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality Helmet Tracker" research report and were released last week.

The company pointed out that, so far, low-cost, screenless VR browsers (for example, helmets using smart phones) have dominated the market, but the market share of such products has been declining, and gradually turned to wired and independent VR / AR solution.

According to the report, the 2021 VR mobile phone box will account for less than 15% of the total VR / AR market. At the same time, wired and stand-alone helmets will occupy the highest market share.

“The VR market is still very young now and is in a critical transition period, because buyers are more inclined to provide advanced VR helmets, PCs or gamepad sets that provide advanced tracking and high-fidelity graphics, rather than reluctantly accept the cheap. Helmet plus a combination of smart phones," said Jitesh Ubrani, a senior research analyst at IDC Mobile Device Tracker.

“This is a good sign for the entire VR ecosystem because the better experience of professional equipment has attracted more loyal viewers.”

The report also shows that shipments of commercial products will also increase, and the growth rate will change even more sharply than the consumer market. IDC predicts that shipments of VR helmets will increase from 1 million units this year to 12.6 million units by the end of 2021, and AR helmet shipments will see even greater growth, reaching 15.6 million by the end of 2021. station.

"We have always believed that AR helmets will play an important role in the transformation of many companies' business models," said Ryan Reith, vice president of IDC's global quarterly mobile device tracker program.

"Many laborers have not yet benefited from technological advancement because they need to personally perform their job functions and AR will bring these technological advancements to these workers."
