Augmented Reality Glasses Market

Market Overview

The increased adoption of virtual reality and augmented reality across various application led to increase the demand for augmented reality in variety devices. Its recent implementation is observed in glasses with the introduction of augmented reality glasses. Augmented reality glasses enables information about the user’s environment displayed in front of his/her eyes on his/her glasses. In addition to this, augmented reality glasses effectively superimposes the virtual objects on to the real world. Smart augmented reality glasses enables efficient interactions with holographic objects, as well, because of the presence of sensors and position trackers. Innovations in augmented reality glasses has led to the introduction of mixed reality glasses comprising of enhanced functions.

Augmented reality glasses are still in its development stage as new innovations and implementations are done on the same with the advancements in technology and availability of resources. In spite of this, augmented reality glasses have found its applications in industries such as healthcare, military, retail, real estate etc. 

Augmented Reality Glasses Market: Drivers and Restraints

The primary driver for augmented reality glasses is the increasing adoption and implementation of augmented reality and virtual reality causing transition towards digitalization. Additionally, increasing adoption of smart phones & tablets and increasing penetration of internet also drives the market of augmented reality glasses. The decline in the average price of augmented reality glasses is also a factor contributing towards the growth of augmented reality glasses. Factors such as rising demand in healthcare & military, location based search and gaming applications, furthermore, drive the augmented reality market.

As augmented reality glasses are still in its development stage, henceforth, the major factor restraining the growth of augmented reality glasses market is its lack of awareness. In addition to this, augmented reality glass’s high cost, in spite of the decline in prices, also impedes its growth and adoption rate.
