Augmented Reality (AR) in Retail and Apparel - Thematic Research: Industry to Reach $152 Billion by 2030 - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Augmented Reality (AR) in Retail and Apparel - Thematic Research" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that allows the user to see the real world overlaid with digital data. Worth nearly $7 billion in 2020, the global AR market will reach $152 billion by 2030, according to publisher forecasts. This growth is in part due to the hype surrounding the metaverse.

Internationally renowned retailers have announced their ambitions to enter the metaverse to increase brand awareness and appeal to a tech-savvy younger consumer base. AR is considered one of the primary gateways into this first iteration of the metaverse. It is a more accessible technology for many consumers, almost all of whom have smartphones and can access applications that use AR filters (digital overlays placed in real-life settings). However, these are very rudimentary use cases of AR, and the metaverse is a long way off becoming mainstream or accessible to most consumers and retailers.
