Head Mounted Displays Market Drivers

• The major aspect that drives the growth of the market includes the growing popularity of head mounted displays across various industries. In video games, HMDs have a high penetration rate as they improve the gaming experience. PlayStation (PS) has increased the popularity of head-mounted displays. Head Mounted Displays project digital images, allowing for a 3D vision, which improves the quality of gaming by projecting visuals and game screens that look like real-world images.
• The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a significant increase in video game spending. Many AR and VR games are being released by top-tier gaming firms amid the period. With the introduction of VR and 3D technology, the gaming industry has undergone a technological transformation.
• There has also been increased popularity of head mounted displays in the military and defense sector. Head mounted displays are widely adopted for warfare simulations, battlefield visualizations, digital twins, tactical augmented reality, situational awareness, spatial orientation, weapons aiming, digital terrain, and other vital activities. Hence, this contributes to the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Head Mounted Displays Market Restraint

• Many HMD and eyeglass manufacturers are focusing on improving the user experience and making products more informative. As different products have different specifications and quality, lack of standardization causes compatibility issues between products from different sellers, which affects user experience. VR and AR HMDs require similar universal standards that allow developers to create applications that are open and interoperable across different headsets in order to achieve widespread enterprise and consumer adoption of HMDs. It becomes more complicated for mobile virtual reality, where different smartphones from different manufacturers are used, because users have different operating systems, screen standards, and other parameters. As a result, it becomes more difficult for developers to create VR apps, limiting market growth.
