Key Macroeconomic Trends Impacting the VR Market

• COVID-19
• Enterprise adoption
• The search for a killer app
  

COVID-19 has hit the VR market on both the supply and demand sides. The slowdown is attributable to the disruption in production stemming from the lockdown in China at the start of 2020. At the same time, consumer spending on non-essential products, including VR headsets, was negatively impacted by the economic recession. However, the demand for VR headsets has started to recover in 2021, thanks to the subsiding impact of the pandemic, the growing number of affordable VR headsets (e.g., Oculus Quest 2 and HTC Vive Flow), and the increasing adoption of VR by enterprises.
