Increasing Demand for AR-based Devices Fuels North America AR Waveguide Market
The demand for AR-based devices is rapidly increasing across various industries, including healthcare, automobile, and entertainment, among others. According to Three Kit Inc., a visual commerce firm, it is estimated that the AR market will reach US$ 50 billion by the end of 2024. Advancements in AR content development and software tools have enabled the creation of compelling and interactive AR experiences, driving consumer engagement and brand recognition. Businesses are leveraging AR to deliver immersive product demonstrations, virtual try-on experiences, interactive training modules, and enhanced customer support services, thereby offering consumers an enhanced customer experience. As big tech invests more in augmented reality, AR-based devices are anticipated to become an integrated part of everyday life. In February 2020, Facebook (now Meta) acquired Scape, an augmented reality business that is creating a digital 3D representation of the physical world. Therefore, the growing demand for AR-based devices across various industries fuels the need for advanced waveguide technology, which drives the AR waveguide market.
North America AR Waveguide Market Overview
The North American AR waveguide market is segmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico. Augmented reality (AR) is becoming popular in North America across various sectors, including gaming & entertainment, industrial applications, and healthcare. This demand creates a requirement for key components that enable AR glasses to function, for example, waveguides. Further, North America is home to a few of the world's largest technology giants, such as Google and Facebook, which are actively developing AR products. As a result, these companies are increasingly investing in research and development associated with AR, which fuels the expansion of the AR waveguide market.
Various startups and established players across North America are involved in the development of AR waveguides. For example, in April 2024, Vuzix Corporation launched the Vuzix Shield smart safety glasses. Shield initially launched with a limited fulfillment strategy that was focused on developers and researchers. For example, in May 2023, Dispelix, a waveguide developer for XR, along with Avegant, a renowned developer of miniaturized LED light engines, launched a jointly executed reference display module. This collaboration showcases AR glasses with consumer-ready visual quality in wearables. The design is based on Dispelix Selvä—a thin, light, and bright LED waveguide combiner—and Avegant's latest light engine, AG-30L2, which has a significantly lower footprint than the previous-generation engine. The components used in the design are high-performing and can be mass-manufactured. Thus, such initiatives by the players in the region drive the AR waveguide market.
