Head Mounted Display Market Size Worth $11,793.3 Million By 2020

Head Mounted Display Market Growth & Trends

The global head mounted display market size is expected to reach USD 11,793.3 million by 2020, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Reducing silicon wafer costs have directly impacted microdisplay prices, which form a sizable percentage of the resultant HMD cost. As a result, declining microdisplay prices coupled with the growing demand for wearable, lightweight devices are expected to be key driving forces for the HMD market. Defense services are a key contributor to global demand, wherein head-mounted displays aid in security, imaging, and tracking.

Head-mounted displays offer a high degree of mobility and computing power, which has led to increasing market penetration in the consumer sector. Growing demand from automotive prototyping is expected to be a key opportunity for industry participants. Lack of standardization resulting in design issues may restrain market growth over the next six years. This can be mitigated with the help of the establishment of necessary guidelines for HMD production.
