Cloud storage is not a feasible solution for storing VR generated data, since there is a constant necessity to make changes to the files. As the applications of virtual reality are increasing, the amount of data to be stored is also increasing with some applications generating up to one terabyte of data per hour. For example, the total multimedia VR based data reached 230 exabytes in 2021. Thus, such storage problem is resulting in additional costs for VR companies in terms of storage devices and also preventing many companies from investing in virtual reality software and services industry. Companies in the virtual reality software and services market are increasingly seeking partnership opportunities to share knowledge and expertise in order to gain a competitive advantage over other players. For example, in 2021, ArborXR, and Matts Digital announced a partnership to provide frictionless extended reality solutions at scale in Europe and beyond. Similarly, in July 2022, HTC Corporation, a Taiwan-based manufacturer of consumer electronics partnered with VRdirect GmbH, a Germany-based virtual reality solution. With the partnership, the companies aims to open up the B2B metaverse to a variety of business types. In order to do this, HTC's VIVE Business AppStore now offers the VRdirect software for the HTC Vive Focus 3.

Virtual reality (VR) devices are defined as devices that use advanced computer technology called virtual reality to create a simulated environment. VR devices such as head-mounted displays (HMD), gesture tracking devices (GTD), projectors, and display walls (PDW) allow users to immerse themselves in real environments and interact with 3D worlds. The main type of virtual reality devices is handheld devices, head mounted devices, gesture-controlled devices, and other types. The hand-held devices virtual reality can be used freely while roaming. The technologies used in virtual reality devices are semi and fully immersive, non-immersive and applied in medical and healthcare, commercial, education, advertising and marketing, commerce, energy and utilities, entertainment and gaming, designing and engineering, logistics and others. The global virtual reality devices market is segmented - 1) By Type: Hand Held Devices, Head Mounted Devices, Gesture Controlled Devices, Other Types 2) By Application: Medical & Healthcare, Commercial, Education, Advertsiing & Marketing, Commerce, Energy & Utilities, Entertainment & Gaming, Designing & Engineering, Logistics, Other Applications 3) By Technology: Semi & Fully Immersive, Non-immersive The global virtual reality devices market size will grow from $10.15 billion in 2022 to $10.87 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. 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 market size of the global virtual reality devices is expected to grow to $14.19 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 6.9%. Rising demand for virtual reality devices in changing the traditional way of imparting safety trainings to employees is expected to drive the virtual reality devices market. Virtual Reality provides an effective and safe training environment for the employees in an organization. Traditional training method fail to recreate real time crisis scenarios while VR trainings create the real time crisis scenarios which helps a person to respond in a similar way to that of real time situations, thus providing effective and safe training to staff. It has resulted in fewer mistakes and better information recall than traditional trainings. For example, Ford uses virtual reality which simulates real-life situations to train its staff in a more receptive and effective way than training theoretically. Major players in the virtual reality devices market are Google, Sony Corporation, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., Oculus VR LLC., Marxent Labs, Microsoft Corporation, Apple, HTC Corporation, Qualcomm, and Lenovo Group Ltd. The interferences in demand and supply chains caused by COVID19 lockdown are to act as major restraint hampering the growth of the virtual reality market during 2020. According to the World Trade Organization (WTO), the coronavirus represents unprecedented disruptions to the world trade and global economy, as consumption and production are scaled backed worldwide. Moreover, according to Media Post’s news published in March 2020, the shipments for virtual reality headsets are expected to record a decline of approximately 17% during 2020, owing to disruptions in the supply chain caused by COVID19 lockdowns. Hence, the disturbances in demand and supply chain are to act as a major factor to contribute to the declining shipments for virtual reality devices during 2020. Integration of 5K stereoscopic video in VR devices is one of the growing trends that is changing the landscape of virtual reality device market. 5k stereoscopic video is a 5k-resolution video technology which replaces the previous 360 video low resolution technology used in VR headsets. This 5K stereoscopic video would provide a complete and detailed VR immersion experience for the viewers. For instance, Oculus VR, an American technology company, developed Guided Meditation VR which is virtual reality relaxation app that runs 5K stereoscopic video content on the Oculus Go (mobile headsets) version of the app. In August 2020, ByteDance, a China-based, internet services company, acquired Pico Interactive for $773 million (RMB ¥5 billion). This acquisition brings ByteDance into a direct competition with Facebook, which controls the top VR platform. Pico Interactive is a China-based provider of virtual reality (VR) headsets for consumers and enterprise. Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the virtual reality devices market in 2022.
