Global Mobile Augmented Reality Market Size (2023 to 2028)

The global mobile augmented reality market size is expected to reach USD 64.84 billion by 2028 from USD 10.01 billion in 2023, registering a CAGR of 45.3% from 2023 to 2028.

Augmented Reality is a mobile application that complements built-in components in a mobile phone and delivers reality-based services and functions. It integrates digital information with the physical environment by adding graphics, sounds, multimedia, and haptic feedback. This technology requires hardware components such as processors, sensors, displays, and input devices to process the information and provide a live experience.

Global Mobile Augmented Reality Market Drivers:

The rise in the adoption of mobile AR technology is majorly driving global market growth. For example, in instances such as in the education sector, schools and colleges are changing their traditional teaching method by using AR applications. In contrast, the healthcare industry performs surgeries with reality-augmented applications to reduce interventions and implement virtual-aided platforms for remote patients. Also, rapid growth is seen in e-commerce, where consumers use AR technology to try out products. Further, the surge in the tourism sector owing to the ready availability of information about hotels, restaurants, and flights is driving the growth of the mobile augmented reality market.

The gaming industry will witness rapid growth due to the adoption of AR technology in game development. The technology offers an interactive experience in real-time and easily runs on portable gaming devices, tablets, and smartphones. Thus, the industry will offer great opportunities and contribute to the mobile augmented reality market expansion. Other industries, such as education, retail, tourism, e-commerce, military, entertainment, and manufacturing, also provide huge opportunities for mobile AR. Further, Brands and marketers use AR technology to boost their sales using mobile AR apps. These factors are creating lucrative opportunities to expand the mobile augmented reality market.

Global Mobile Augmented Reality Market Restraints:

Limited user interfaces affecting the navigation performance of apps are majorly hampering global market growth. The smartphone offers a limited screen size and user interface. This limited access will affect the quality of augmented reality-featured navigation in the case of tourism apps and gaming ability in gaming apps. Also, the user interface in mobile systems is a bit complex compared to monitor-based AR. These factors restrain the mobile augmented reality market. Several AR apps cannot secure user identity and privacy due to inconsistencies in AR programming. As a result, consumers are resisting the adoption of technology. This is also a potential restraining factor for the mobile augmented reality market.

Impact of COVID-19 on the mobile augmented reality market:

Supply and demand mismatch was observed in several sectors as businesses were not operating at full capacity. This outbreak has an economic impact and implications on markets. Initially, shortages of components and materials, the slowdown in production, and the delay in planned projects hampered the mobile augmented reality market. During the pandemic, many retail businesses opened digitally. As a result, products with augmented reality have seen more conversion than those without technological assistance. Sectors like healthcare have performed surgeries with reality-augmented applications to reduce interventions and implemented virtual-aided platforms for remote patients. Thus, significant growth in the mobile augmented reality market is witnessed. Post-COVID, the technology gained traction owing to visualization and storytelling. For example, education, retail businesses, tourism, gaming, entertainment, and teaching segments have adopted AR technology for better assistance. These factors fuelled the mobile augmented reality market growth during COVID-19 times.
