Market Drivers

Advancements in VR Hardware and Technology

• VR Hardware and Technology advancements are playing a key role in driving the expansion of the global VR gaming market. Ongoing advancements in VR headsets, such as enhanced display resolutions, broader fields of view, and improved refresh rates, are providing even more immersive gaming experiences. Other advancements like wireless connectivity, sophisticated motion tracking, and haptic feedback systems further enhance user interaction through even more realistic and responsive environments.
• Such progress minimizes factors like motion sickness and lag, which hitherto limited VR gaming. Also, technological leaps in VR equipment like ergonomic and light designs are making playing times longer, a factor that contributes to the ease of use of the experience to consumers. Major tech firms are spending heavily in research and development to introduce costly but high-capacity VR equipment to the market, making it more attractive to mass consumers.

Key Findings:

• In May 2023, Google announced advancements in its ARCore platform, which directly supports VR development with improved spatial tracking and depth sensing for Android devices.
• In September 2022, Meta launched the Meta Quest Pro, an advanced mixed-reality headset with enhanced resolution, improved controllers, and full-color passthrough, aiming to provide a more immersive gaming and productivity experience.

Growing Adoption of VR in Location-Based Entertainment (LBE)

• Growing applications of VR in Location-Based Entertainment (LBE) are one of the key driving forces for the global VR gaming industry. VR arcades, theme parks, and gaming centres are delivering extremely immersive, social gaming experiences that are difficult to replicate in the home environment. These venues are likely to employ premium gear and vast spaces, allowing multiplayer experiences and mass-scale VR simulations. As individuals seek something new and engaging as an amusement, LBE centres are generating significant visitations, especially in urban centres and tourist spots.
• Collaborations between VR tech suppliers and entertainment operators are also speeding up the deployment of advanced VR experiences across the globe. This is not only increasing customer interest and consciousness about VR games but also presenting an entry-level option for users reluctant to shell out for their own VR setups, thus also driving the size of the entire market.

Market Opportunities

Expansion of 5G Networks

• The rollout of 5G networks offers a huge opportunity for the expansion of the global VR gaming market. 5G provides ultra-fast data rates, low latency, and better connectivity, which are all essential in delivering smooth and engaging VR gaming experiences. As more people turn to cloud gaming platforms, 5G allows people to stream high-definition virtual reality content without requiring costly, top-of-the-range local hardware. Such accessibility is likely to reach more consumers, including casual gamers.
• 5G enhances multiplayer VR gaming by virtue of availability of space for real-time interaction and delay-free gaming, even in huge virtual worlds. As telecommunication firms keep building 5G infrastructure everywhere across the globe, especially in developing countries, VR gaming companies can also reach new consumer bases and expand their market share.

Key Findings:

• In February 2023, Samsung expanded its 5G network equipment portfolio, launching advanced mmWave and sub-6GHz solutions to improve ultra-low latency connections essential for cloud-based and VR gaming experiences.

Market Restraining Factors

High Initial Cost of VR Equipment

• The cost of the initial investment in VR hardware continues to be a significant bottleneck in the expansion of the worldwide VR gaming market. Even with advances in technology and progressive price drops, VR headsets, motion controllers, and the supporting high-performance computers or gaming consoles are a sizeable investment for users. High-end VR systems with advanced specifications like high-resolution screens, haptic feedback, and accurate motion tracking tend to be expensive and are outside the reach of mass-market customers.
• Regular maintenance and possible upgrade costs can further discourage price-conscious customers, especially in developing countries. This financial hurdle reduces the adoption rate, especially among general gamers who will not see adequate value to compensate for the cost. If the cost of VR equipment is high, market penetration is likely to remain moderate.

Segmentation Analysis

The market scope is segmented because of By Device, By Technology, By Component, By Application.

• By Device

Based on the Device of the market is segmented into Kadcyla, Enhertu, Adcetris, Padcev, Trodelvy, Polivy, Others.

One of the key antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) that are a cornerstone of targeted therapies, especially in oncology. Kadcyla and Enhertu, for instance, are applied widely to treat HER2-positive breast cancer, whereas Adcetris is applied primarily to treat Hodgkin lymphoma and some T-cell lymphomas. Padcev and Trodelvy are finding increasing use for the treatment of urothelial and triple-negative breast cancers, respectively. Polivy targets diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The addition of various ADCs under this category reflects the growing scope of the market across a range of different cancer types, providing more individualized treatment alternatives and propelling the overall expansion of this therapeutic category.

• By Technology

Based on the Technology of the market is segmented into Semi & Fully Immersive, Non-immersive.

Semi and full immersion technologies rule the market because they deliver a highly interactive gaming experience via advanced VR headsets, motion sensors, and haptic feedback systems. These technologies deliver worlds that make the player experience physical immersion within the game, enhancing overall user interaction. However, non-immersive technology provides a more conventional form of gaming with normal displays and controllers, but without the requirement of VR headsets. Though non-immersive systems continue to hold relevance on account of cost and ease of accessibility, increased consumer demand for enhanced interaction and realism will make stronger growth anticipated in the semi and fully immersive segment, driving the future of the VR gaming industry.

• Regional Snapshots

By region, in 2022, Asia Pacific had the highest global share of VR gaming market revenue at over 39%. The region's prevalence of countries like China, being high producers and providers of VR hardware, which makes it prevalent and affordable, explains its domination. The region also benefits from its industrial ecosystem, where factories and most businesses are embracing VR technology to contribute to automation projects. Further, the increasing demand for VR-compatible handheld devices is propelling the growth of the market in Asia Pacific.
