Covid-19 Impact Analysis
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted global economies, resulting in workforce & travel restrictions, supply chain & production disruptions, and reduced demand & spending across many sectors.
Sudden decline in infrastructure development is expected to hamper the market growth for consumer, education, tourism sector.
The slowdown in productions by OEMs and reduction in demand for mobile devices and other electronics devices has slightly pulled down the market for mobile AR. Shortages of components and materials have significantly impacted the global supply chains. In addition, reductions in various budgets and delay in planned projects in various industries have hampered the global economy.
However, post-COVID-19, the AR technology is gaining slight traction owing to its benefits in visualization, annotation, and storytelling. AR technologies are aiding online learning and also offering access to cultural events, which is helping users to overcome the isolation of lockdowns. Several countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, and India are also expecting quick control over the outbreak, following a pre-emptive response in the form of lockdowns and social distancing.
Moreover, as vaccines roll out across the globe and the pandemic situation is better controlled, especially in North America and Europe. This would boost the recovery of the mobile augmented reality (AR) market.
By Region
Asia-Pacific region would exhibit the highest CAGR of 32.80% during 2021-2030
