Growth Drivers

Increasing demand for AR and VR devices and applications in healthcare sector

The patient experience will be significantly enhanced by AR and VR by making it more enjoyable and exciting. By transporting them to a peaceful virtual setting during physical therapy sessions, virtual reality can help patients forget about uncomfortable treatment procedures. Better sleeping habits and psychological relief will result from this. Through wearables and tracking tools based on augmented reality, patients can also keep track of their vital signs. VR headsets can help people unwind and get over PTSD episodes. Complex patient data will be visualized, improving understanding. Simulated figures that display the precise problem areas and identify flaws can be made directly from the patient's body. Virtual body mapping can assist surgeons in simulating crucial surgical techniques beforehand, allowing them to practice in real time before the actual procedure. Sensors will enable the quick detection, visualization, and transmission of diseases. In the upcoming years, the market for augmented and virtual reality will grow more rapidly owing to these factors.

Increasing demand for VR in architecture

Expanding use of VR applications in the architecture and planning industry drives the market growth. The VR technology is used in architecture to help with decision-making and to see how proposed urban designs and architectural plans will turn out. Additionally, VR makes it possible to find faults early on and fix them, saving both time and money. To increase sales opportunities, several real estate firms have started using VR to give virtual tours of their properties. Hence, growing demand for VR from the architecture industry is projected to drive Saudi Arabia AR and VR market during the forecast period.

Restraints

Security and privacy issues associated with AR and VR

Virtual reality is widely used in the defense and aerospace sector as well as telemedicine in the healthcare sector for training and educational purposes. VR relies on internet services, cloud computing, and computing technologies to function, which makes it more vulnerable to cyberattacks, poses a threat to data integrity, and raises the possibility of data leakage. The Saudi Arabia AR and VR market faces a significant challenge because of inadequate security and privacy considerations.
