It is also leveraged by companies across the globe to advertise their products and services while reducing expenditure and providing hands-on experience to users.

Extended Reality (XR) Market Trends:
Due to the global spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the growing concerns about workplace safety, several enterprises have shifted to the remote working environment via the cloud. This represents one of the key factors catalyzing the demand for XR to enable employees to visualize a live environment of their offices, attend virtual meetings, and work from home efficiently. Apart from this, the increasing number of individuals opting for online gaming as a profession due to significant improvements in internet connectivity and the easy availability of advanced gaming peripherals is contributing to the market growth. Additionally, the thriving entertainment industry is driving the use of XR for experiencing live events like concerts and sports competitions on smartphones remotely. Besides this, XR is employed in modern imaging technologies, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computerized tomography (CT) scans. This, in confluence with the rising prevalence of chronic diseases and the escalating need for improving diagnostic efficiency, is positively influencing the application of XR in the healthcare industry. Furthermore, the growing awareness of the benefits of XR is anticipated to expand its usage in the retail, defense, transportation, and travel and tourism industries worldwide.
