Head Mounted Display Market Analysis:

Head Mounted Display is a technological device that has projection screens and small displays placed accurately to cover eyes and are worn on the head as a gear or in goggle form. A head mounted display device comprises of camera, an emission projector, storage device, headphones, monitor, and various other minute accessories. The head mounted display device has brought a technological revolution in multiple industries for various purposes and is being extensively used either for work, educational, or leisure purposes. Head mounted devices are lightweight and usually come in a circular cap-like shape or goggle resembling shape which enables a comfortable and strong grip on the wearer’s head. The projectors are capable of emitting high-resolution pictures on screens paired with crystal clear audio. Head mounted display devices usually don’t obstruct the vision but they create an overlying image on the real view of a user. Head mounted display devices have become extremely popular amongst the general public as well as public and private institutions which has caused a drastic rise in demand for them.

The growing importance of AR and VR, increasing demand for portable and lightweight HMD’s to drive the market growth

The rising importance of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies for corporate, medical, military, stimulation and education, and customer leisure purposes have significantly increased demand for head mounted displays. AR and VR technologies enable a person to view, feel, and experience a stimulation almost close to an environment/surrounding without being physically present there. For instance, a surgeon can perform an artificial surgery using AR/VR on any organ to study and understand the patient’s condition better and choose the most optimum surgery plan. AR and VR are highly capable of creating accurate representations of various environments and situations which gives it high flexibility. AR and VR enable its users to sit at one place and experience multiple things at low costs. They are majorly being incorporated in mobile technologies with the rise in the smartphone segment. Industries and organizations are using AR and VR technology to upgrade infrastructural facilities and creating an ecosystem based on virtual reality applications. All these factors have facilitated the head mounted display market growth. Further, demand for compact, portable, and lightweight computing devices like head mounted display systems have grown majorly. HMD devices are highly mobile which enables users to carry them easily anywhere. Owing to these benefits users are investing exponentially in the head mounted display devices.

Standardization issues and poorly designed head mounted display systems are negatively impacting the market growth

Head mounted display market has no standardization norms and every organization creates its product as per compatibility with other devices like smart-phones and others. This creates serious compatibility issues and restricts the market to only some people. Every device has its features, design, and specifications which is not completely supported by head mounted display systems and this creates a negative impact on users viewing experience. Further, these HMD devices have issues like over-heating and excess weight which causes strain on the user’s neck.

Technological advancements and upgradations to create lucrative opportunities for market growth

Head mounted display market players are extensively investing in cutting-edge technologies which could reduce the weight of the devices, enhance the user’s experience, and all at comparatively low costs. The development of miniature systems could make these devices as light-weight as a normal goggle. Technological upgradations will further allow high resolution and ultra-high definition projected image, increased compatibility, and a wide view of the field. The upgradations will offer features like increased smart capabilities, compact, highly mobile, reduced latency, and high flexibility. Owing to these factors, the demand for head mounted display systems is anticipated to increase massively and create a lucrative opportunity for market growth.
