Augmented Reality Gaming Market

The global augmented reality gaming market reached a value of US$ 4.7 Billion in 2020. The market is currently being driven by the technological advancements, coupled with a rising number of mobile gamers.  Augmented reality, also known as AR, is the integration of digital information with the real time environment of the user. In gaming, unlike virtual reality, augmented reality utilises existing environment and enhances it with an overlay of distinct features. In addition to this, augmented reality helps in creating a view for the players with intense video, graphics and sound by using a device-camera. For games on smartphones, augmented reality has become an important tool as it enables the gamers to create their own characters, targets and racing terrains. It also enables them to scan their local surroundings so as to invite their neighbors and create a virtual track. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the global augmented reality gaming market to reach a value of US$ 28.60 Billion by 2026, exhibiting a CAGR of 34.80% during 2021-2026.
