The head mounted display (HMD) market has shown impressive development on account of the rising requirement to deliver information to pilots in general and commercial aviation cockpits. The portability of HMD that enables it to consume less space compared to head up displays is a major factor driving the growth of this market. The decline in the price of micro-display has led to extensive demand for HMD from the defense, sports, and the automation sectors.
According to analysts at Transparency Market Research (TMR), the global head mounted display (HMD) market stood at US$430.4 million in 2013. Virtual prototyping is likely to present significant opportunities to the market players and drive the market to a whopping sum of US$20,450.50 million by 2022, at an exceptional CAGR of 45.2% during the period of 2014-2022.
