Meticulous Research®, a leading global market research agency, has released an extensive report titled, "Augmented Reality Market by Offering (Smart Glasses, Headsets), Type, Application (Training & Learning, Gaming, Promotion & Advertising), End User (Retail & E-commerce, Media & Entertainment, Healthcare, Travel & Tourism), and Geography—Global Forecast to 2031."

According to the latest analysis from Meticulous Research®, the global augmented reality market is projected to grow to $210.1 billion by 2031, with a CAGR of 34.9% from 2024 to 2031. This growth is driven by supportive government policies for AR technology, increasing demand in retail and e-commerce, and expanded use in healthcare. However, market growth is restrained by privacy and security issues, as well as high costs associated with AR hardware.

The development of 5G technology and new opportunities in the travel and tourism sector are expected to fuel market growth. However, the shortage of skilled professionals remains a significant challenge.

The global augmented reality market is segmented by offering (hardware including head-mounted displays such as smart glasses and headsets, head-up displays, platforms, and services), type (marker-based AR and marker-less AR), application (training and learning, quality inspection, tourism, remote assistance, design and modeling, gaming, promotion and advertising, and other applications), and end-use industry (industrial and manufacturing, healthcare, education, retail and e-commerce, media and entertainment, transportation and logistics, automotive, travel and tourism, real estate, sales and marketing, and other sectors). The report also covers competitive analysis and regional market evaluations.

In 2024, the hardware segment is expected to dominate, capturing over 55% of the global market share. This is attributed to the increasing use of AR devices in the entertainment industry, rising smartphone sales, and advancements in AR smart glasses. For example, Apple Inc. introduced the Apple Vision Pro in June 2023, featuring advanced controls and a virtual keyboard.

The hardware segment is also expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

The market is categorized into marker-based and marker-less AR types. The marker-based AR segment is expected to capture a larger market share in 2024, driven by the rise in smartphone sales and advancements in navigation systems. This segment is also anticipated to have the highest growth rate.

Regarding application, the gaming segment is projected to hold over 33% of the market share in 2024, driven by the popularity of gaming and demand for AR-compatible devices. Conversely, the promotion and advertising segment is expected to exhibit the highest growth rate, driven by the increasing use of AR-capable smartphones and digital marketing strategies.

By end-use industry, the media and entertainment sector is anticipated to capture over 25% of the market share in 2024, driven by AR’s growing role in gaming and entertainment. The healthcare sector is projected to grow at the highest rate, supported by increased use of immersive technologies and government investments.

Geographically, North America is forecasted to account for over 40% of the market share in 2024, supported by government initiatives, digital infrastructure investments, and the presence of leading market players. For instance, the Los Angeles Rams launched ARound technology in December 2022 to enhance fan engagement with AR experiences.

Asia-Pacific is expected to grow at the highest CAGR of over 37.5% during the forecast period, driven by major AR technology users and suppliers in China, South Korea, India, and Japan. In response to regional demand, companies like Xiaomi have introduced new smart glasses, such as the Xiaomi Wireless AR Glass, which offers advanced display features and wireless connectivity.
