The global augmented reality software market size will grow from $31 billion in 2022 to $47.88 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 54.5%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The global augmented reality software market size is expected to grow to $213.53 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 45.3%. The steps for recovery from COVID-19 and future productivity in the economy will need augmented reality to adjust to the new normal, contributing to the market growth during the forecast period. Many companies are facing an incredible loss of human experience and intelligence due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many businesses are just focusing on preserving the intelligence and surviving this crisis rather than investments and augmented reality might be much cheaper than expected. For example, PTC, during this COVID-19 crisis, made available Vuforia Chalk for companies letting them to start adapting to AR for the COVID-19 recovery. Vuforia Chalk and Microsoft Dynamics are some of the augmented reality programs which are used by an employee in the future to retrain or learn a task from the expert's already preserved notes and set of instructions using smartphones, tablets and other devices. AR-based training solutions will help companies to preserve and pass on the required intelligence to the employees faster once the path of recovery begins. Low adoption rate due to security and privacy issues and complexities in the design are expected to hinder the growth of the market. Augmented reality collects a lot of information of users in terms of what the users are doing and their environment more than what social media do. This can lead to privacy and safety concerns of the users and related persons if the hackers gain access to the data. For instance, according to a survey on Metaverse (a network of 3D virtual worlds that use AR and VR) published in April 2022 by Agora, a Chinese real-time engagement platform, 33% of respondents expressed that data privacy and security were the biggest challenges to the Metaverse. The concern of security and privacy threats to the user and their environment and the fear of losing privacy will hinder the adoption of augmented reality technology by the users.
