Analyst Opinion

The VR Hardware market in China has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, driven by customer preferences for immersive gaming and entertainment experiences, as well as the increasing adoption of virtual reality technology in various industries.

Customer preferences:
Chinese consumers have shown a strong interest in VR hardware, particularly in gaming and entertainment. With a large population of tech-savvy consumers, there is a growing demand for immersive experiences that VR can provide. The younger generation, in particular, is driving the demand for VR gaming, as they seek more interactive and realistic gaming experiences. Additionally, the popularity of VR arcades and theme parks has also contributed to the growth of the VR hardware market in China.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the VR hardware market in China is the increasing affordability and accessibility of VR devices. As technology advances and production costs decrease, VR headsets and accessories have become more affordable for a wider range of consumers. This has led to a higher adoption rate of VR hardware in China, as more people are able to purchase and experience VR technology. Another trend in the market is the integration of VR technology into industries beyond gaming and entertainment. Various sectors, such as education, healthcare, real estate, and tourism, are exploring the use of VR to enhance their services and improve customer experiences. For example, VR is being used in schools to provide immersive educational content, in hospitals for virtual surgeries and therapy sessions, and in the real estate industry for virtual property tours. This diversification of VR applications is expanding the market potential for VR hardware in China.

Local special circumstances:
China's large population and growing middle class are key factors driving the growth of the VR hardware market. With a population of over 1. 4 billion, there is a significant consumer base for VR products. Additionally, the rising disposable income of the middle class has made VR hardware more affordable and accessible to a larger segment of the population. Furthermore, the Chinese government has been actively supporting the development of the VR industry. Through initiatives and policies, the government has encouraged investment in VR technology, research and development, and the establishment of VR content and experience centers. This support has created a favorable environment for the growth of the VR hardware market in China.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
China's strong economic growth and increasing urbanization have contributed to the expansion of the VR hardware market. As the economy continues to grow, more consumers have the purchasing power to invest in VR devices. Additionally, the rapid urbanization in China has led to the development of modern entertainment venues, such as shopping malls and amusement parks, which are incorporating VR technology to attract customers. In conclusion, the VR hardware market in China is experiencing significant growth due to customer preferences for immersive experiences, the increasing affordability of VR devices, the integration of VR technology into various industries, the large population and rising middle class, the government support, and the underlying macroeconomic factors. As the market continues to evolve, we can expect further advancements in VR technology and an expansion of its applications in China.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on VR hardware revenue, which includes digital spending on hardware (stand-alone and tethered units) that enables consumers to dive into the virtual world.

Modeling approach / market size:

The market size is determined through a top-down approach. We use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies and industry associations, as well as third-party studies and reports to analyze the markets. To estimate the market size for each country individually, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific industry associations, such as consumer spending, internet penetration, 4G coverage, and historical developments.

Forecasts:

We apply a variety of forecasting techniques, depending on the behavior of the relevant market. For instance, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing are well suited for forecasting digital products and services due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption. The main drivers are level of digitalization, adoption of technology, GDP per capita, and internet penetration.

Additional notes:

The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. In some cases, the data is updated on an ad hoc basis (e.g., when new, relevant data has been released or significant changes within the market have an impact on the projected development).
