Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on VR software revenue, which includes revenues from video games and VR videos consumed via stand-alone or tethered units.

Modeling approach / market size:

The market size is determined through a top-down approach. We use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies and industry associations, as well as third-party studies and reports to analyze the markets.

Forecasts:

We apply a variety of forecasting techniques, depending on the behavior of the relevant market. For instance, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing are well suited for forecasting digital products and services due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption. The main drivers are level of digitalization, adoption of technology, GDP per capita, and internet penetration.
