  • Global VR headset shipments fell 12% YoY in 2024, marking their third consecutive year of declines due to the continued weak consumer demand.
  • Meta continued to dominate the global VR market in 2024, capturing 77% of the shipments.
  • In Q4 2024, the availability of the Meta Quest 3S boosted Meta’s market share to 84%.
  • Shipments of Apple’s Vision Pro declined in Q4 after the initial hype. However, its enterprise sales saw an uptick.
  • The global AR smart glasses market faced challenges in 2024, but we expect that the integration of AR and AI, along with new market entrants, will drive over 30% YoY growth in shipments through 2026.

Sadly there isn't even any company I could see making a dent in this in the near future. The Pico did something but not enough and Valve's new headset will be too expensive to get a major %

I'm hoping the google XR OS will make the number of affordable headsets rise and new companies getting in the VR market.

if Valve can get it working with the steamdeck.... oh man that could be pretty awesome

The new headset will be standalone as far as we know so it'll run games on its own like the quest does!
