1.1 Fastest growing segment:

Virtual reality (VR) is a computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional environment, presented to users in a way that they perceive it as real. VR does not interact with the physical world. Instead, it creates a new experience, often through the use of a headset. Advancements in VR hardware, such as new headset launches, are driving user adoption in industries like gaming, entertainment, retail, sports, travel, and healthcare. In healthcare, VR is used for disease diagnosis and therapy. For instance, doctors at George Washington University Hospital used VR technology to detect healthy and COVID-19-infected tissues. Oxford VR launched a VR-based therapy for social anxiety. However, the rise of augmented reality (AR) technology may hinder VR growth. Yet, the demand for remote working applications, OTT platforms, and online shopping increased due to the pandemic, driving the need for faster networks and digital solutions among enterprises. This trend is expected to fuel VR market growth during the forecast period.
