  • 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.

that's terrifying. fuck Facebook. so mad that they took oculus from us

I don‘t know about that. That Oculus founder seems worse than Suckerberg somehow.

However I still think that somehow Facebook‘s dominance bottlenecks the VR industry right now. Their little data extractors are ironically too cheap for a healthy and vibrant VR economy, keeping competition and ideas out that the industry needs so desperately.

I kinda find it shocking apple did have 9% of the new shipments at some point.

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 %
