Global AR Headsets Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global AR Headsets market size was valued at US$ 1187 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 9376 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 35.1% during review period.
Head-mounted display is the abbreviation of head-mounted display device. All head-mounted display devices can be called head-mounted display. Through various head-mounted display devices, different methods are used to send optical signals to the eyes to achieve different effects such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR). AR head-mounted devices are composed of transparent optical lenses and imaging lenses (generally waveguide lenses). Unlike VR devices, they need to be able to see the real world and the information and images superimposed on it. AR glasses (AR Glasses) are generally also called AR head-mounted displays (Augmented Reality Head-mounted Display, referred to as AR HMD). Although the media often call them AR glasses, they are actually equipped with very complex onboard hardware, so some companies mainly call them AR head-mounted displays.
The core manufacturers of AR headsets include Microsoft, Google and Yingchuang Technology, and the top three manufacturers account for more than 60% of the global market share. The United States is the world's largest AR headset production region, followed by China. By product type, AR all-in-one is the largest market segment, with a market share of more than 50%, and the largest application market is industrial manufacturing.
The driving factors of the AR (augmented reality) headset market mainly cover the following aspects:
1. Technological innovation and progress
Hardware performance improvement: AR headsets have made significant progress in hardware, including higher resolution, wider field of view, lighter and more comfortable design, etc. These technological innovations have improved users' wearing and usage experience and promoted market growth.
Software optimization and algorithm upgrade: With the continuous optimization of software technology and the upgrade of algorithms, AR headsets have been significantly improved in image recognition, spatial positioning, interactive experience, etc. These technological innovations enable AR headsets to more accurately capture and identify objects and information in the real world, thereby providing a richer augmented reality experience.
2. Market demand and consumer preferences
Consumer entertainment demand: As consumers' demand for immersive entertainment experience continues to increase, AR headsets are increasingly used in entertainment fields such as games, movies and TV. These devices can provide unique visual and interactive experiences to meet the diverse needs of consumers.
