The growing preference for online shopping is predicted to drive the expansion of the virtual try-on technology market in the future. Online shopping involves buying products or services via the internet. The escalating trend toward online shopping can be attributed to the ease of shopping, expanded product variety, competitive prices, and the freedom to shop anytime, anywhere, complemented by technological advancements and secure payment methods. The virtual try-on technology enhances the experience of online shopping as it enables customers to envision how the products, such as apparel or accessories, might appear before they purchase it, thus facilitating better decision-making and decreasing product return rates. For example, in August 2024, as per the report released by the United States Census Bureau, a US-based government agency, in 2023, the total e-commerce sales hit approximately $1,118.7 billion, showing a 7.6% increase compared to 2022 and making up 15.4% of total sales, a rise from 14.7% the preceding year. Hence, the burgeoning adoption of online shopping is fueling the expansion of the virtual try-on technology market.
