A head-mounted display is a display device or a projection technology that is worn on the head or as a part of the helmet. It has a small display optic in front of one eye or each eye. Factors driving the growth of the head-mounted display market are the increasing adoption of portable devices in consumer applications and the rising adoption of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies. The head-mounted display is considered a highly immersive display device, primarily used for e-learning, video games, watching movies, and other types of digital entertainment. It provides users with a more realistic and fully immersive in-game environment. HMD is used in many applications such as games, aviation, engineering, and medicine. They have many advantages, i.e., high resolution of physical images, system response to head movements, better user experience, possible 3D views, and improved business.
The head-mounted display market has witnessed a substantial decline owing to the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak. The supply chain is adversely affected as many of the prominent players are based in China which was the epicenter of the pandemic. Currently, the industry players are focusing on maintaining and generating operating revenue, resulting in postponing the product launches and related developments. Moreover, the education industry has followed new norms of social distancing. HMDs that support virtual reality technology are often the first choice because they provide a three-dimensional view of virtual objects, allowing students at home to better understand and experience. The effect of COVID-19 is anticipated to reduce during the forecast period 2025-2030.
