Enterprise Virtual Reality Hardware and Software Market to Reach $12.6 Billion by 2025, According to Tractica

Key Applications for Enterprise VR Adoption Will Include Training and Simulation, Medical Therapy, Location-Based Entertainment, and Education

BOULDER, Colo.--()--While enterprise markets have made use of professional-grade virtual reality (VR) technology for some time, the recent debut of consumer-grade VR head-mounted displays (HMDs) from companies like Facebook/Oculus, HTC, and Samsung has raised the profile of VR immeasurably and, more importantly, sparked the potential for enterprise VR use cases leveraging consumer-grade VR solutions. In addition to the availability of low-cost consumer-grade VR solutions, the adoption of VR among enterprises is motivated by the opportunity for increased productivity, improved results, and efficiency, through the greater level of immersion that VR applications offer compared to more conventional means.

According to a new report from Tractica, the worldwide market for enterprise VR hardware and software will increase from $1.0 billion in 2018 to $12.6 billion annually by 2025. The market intelligence firm anticipates that the top applications for enterprise VR will include training and simulation, medical therapy, location-based entertainment, and education.

“Even with continuing growth, market adoption of enterprise VR use cases is moving slower than previously anticipated due to market acceptance lagging behind for several use cases,” says principal analyst Mark Beccue. “Despite some retrenching in the market, however, there is momentum and accelerated activity, especially for location-based entertainment and medical therapy use cases.”

Tractica’s report, “Virtual Reality for Enterprise and Industrial Markets”, provides global market forecasts for the period from 2016 through 2025 for annual unit shipments and associated revenue for VR hardware and content in the enterprise sector. The analysis covers HMDs as well as software applications and content creation tools. Market sizing and forecast data is segmented by five major regions and five different application markets are examined including education, virtual prototyping/3D modeling, location-based entertainment, training and simulation, and medical therapy. The report also includes profiles of 18 key industry players in the enterprise VR market. An Executive Summary of the report is available for free download on the firm’s website.
