Industry Overview
The global head-mounted display market is anticipated to grow from USD 5.3 billion in 2021 to USD 38.1 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 46.2% during the forecast period 2021-2027.
A head-mounted display is a display device or a projection technology that is worn on the head or as a part of the helmet. It has a small display optic in front of one eye or each eye. Factors driving the growth of the head-mounted display market are the increasing adoption of portable devices in consumer applications and the rising adoption of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies. The head-mounted display is considered a highly immersive display device, primarily used for e-learning, video games, watching movies, and other types of digital entertainment. It provides users with a more realistic and fully immersive in-game environment. HMD is used in many applications such as games, aviation, engineering, and medicine. They have many advantages, i.e., high resolution of physical images, system response to head movements, better user experience, possible 3D views, and improved business.
The head-mounted display market has witnessed a substantial decline owing to the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak. The supply chain is adversely affected as many of the prominent players are based in China which was the epicenter of the pandemic. Currently, the industry players are focusing on maintaining and generating operating revenue, resulting in postponing the product launches and related developments. Moreover, the education industry has followed new norms of social distancing. HMDs that support virtual reality technology are often the first choice because they provide a three-dimensional view of virtual objects, allowing students at home to better understand and experience. The effect of COVID-19 is anticipated to reduce during the forecast period 2021-2027.
Market Segmentation
Insight by HMD Type
Based on HMD type, the head-mounted display market is divided into slide on HMD, integrated HMD, and discrete HMD. Integrated HMD (optical HMD) dominates the global HMD market in 2020 as it is an independent computing device and can deliver AR and VR experiences without any external hardware such as Pc or smartphone. Discrete HMD (tethered HMD) is anticipated to have the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to its extensive use in gaming and entertainment. The COVID19 crisis has increased the growth rate of these HMDs because people are trapped in their homes and HMDs are very useful for indoor entertainment.
Insight by Technology
Based on technology, the head-mounted display market is bifurcated into AR technology and VR technology. The VR technology segment holds the largest share in 2020 owing to its use in gaming. The augmented reality category is anticipated to grow at the fastest pace during the forecast period due to its adoption in enterprises and industrial applications. Moreover, the demand for AR technology will increase owing to its use as AR headsets in training videos, 3D gaming mode, etc.
Insight by Component
Based on the component, the head-mounted display market is segmented into processors and memory, displays, lenses, sensors, controllers, cameras, cases and connectors, and others. The display segment has the largest share and is anticipated to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period as displays are used to project virtual images in front of consumers. Several advantages, such as high resolution and large memory size, are driving the growth of the market segments.
Insight by Product Type
Based on the product type, the head-mounted display market is bifurcated into head-mounted and eyewear. The eyewear segment dominates the HMD market in 2020 due to the rising demand for AR applications.
