Upcoming Trends in the Augmented Reality Market

The Global Augmented Reality Market is valued at USD 16.92 Billion in 2021 and is projected to reach a value of USD 105.67 Billion by 2028 at a CAGR of 35.7% over the forecast period. Augmented Reality (AR) is the enrichment of the objects and spaces in the physical world through the use of computer-generated artificial, virtual and synthetic 3D elements. Different from virtual reality, AR does not replace the actual world, but rather it enriches the actual world environment with 3D digital elements. AR can be used in many different fields, such as military research, the games industry, medicine, and engineering, and is becoming increasingly widespread as innovative technology and an interdisciplinary field. In particular, the fact that mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers have more powerful processors, higher-resolution screens, and more highly-developed cameras, and are empowered with features such as GPS, digital compasses, and accelerometers, has contributed to AR becoming ever more widespread

In recent years, AR applications have become widespread very rapidly. At the same time, market share in this area is growing and investments are increasing. Gartner Inc. published a new report titled "Gartner Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies 2017" that sets megatrends. Artificial intelligence (AI), transparently immersive experiences, and digital platforms are currently reforming augmented reality market on a global scale.

Recent Developments

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Augmented Reality (AR):  Incorporating AI components, such as deep learning and ontology, into AR, these strategies can be greatly improved. For example, the artificial intelligence algorithm can be applied to AR to offer users improved interactions with their physical environment. The AI algorithm can be used to collect more data that’s detailed to multiple complement AR sensors, such as gyroscopes and GPS.
