Worldwide Augmented and Virtual Reality Hardware Forecast Update, 2022–2026: CY 3Q22

This IDC study provides an updated forecast for the worldwide augmented and virtual reality hardware market for the 2022–2026 period."The worldwide AR/VR market is heading for slow and certain growth in the years ahead," says Ramon T. Llamas, research director for IDC's Augmented and Virtual Reality team. "Gaming and entertainment will keep VR volumes moving at a fast pace, as will a warming curiosity for all things metaverse related. AR volumes will benefit from commercial interest in the short term but will only see low volumes shipping each year. It is not until toward the end of our forecast that AR shipments really start to take off, thanks to a combination of replacements, new enterprise users, and early adopter consumers."

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.
