  • 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.

Quest 3 is relatively affordable and provides excellent pcvr experience.
There really aren't and have never been any such offerings in this price level, and wireless is an absolute game changer.

The fact that most people use it as standalone is understandable. It's like pc vs a console - regular people just want to press power and go.
