Worldwide Augmented Reality Hardware Market Shares, 2021: Microsoft, Shadow Creator Grow Volumes Despite Market Slide

This IDC study provides a view of worldwide augmented reality hardware market shares by vendor for 2021."Growth remained uneven in the AR headset market during 2020," said Tom Mainelli, group vice president of Devices and Consumer Research at IDC. "While the ongoing challenges associated with the pandemic have driven continued strong interest in AR across the spectrum of companies, not all of those companies are leveraging headsets to embrace the technology. As a result, we expect growth in AR's software and services areas to proliferate in the coming years, largely driven by smartphone and tablet usage. While 2021 was a modestly down year, we expect the AR headset market to grow in 2022 and beyond as established players bring out new products and major players enter the space."

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
