This Augmented Reality Software market report provides a comprehensive analysis of the market’s characteristics, size, and growth, including segmentation, regional and country-level breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends, and strategies. It also tracks historical and forecasted market growth across various geographies.

The augmented reality software market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $72.82 billion in 2024 to $111.71 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 53.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to technological advancements, smartphone adoption, gaming and entertainment, industrial and enterprise applications, healthcare and education.

The augmented reality software market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $436.9 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 40.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to enterprise adoption, healthcare innovation, e-commerce and retail, advertising and marketing, and remote collaboration. Major trends in the forecast period include AR cloud, spatial computing, immersive AR, healthcare, and medical AR.

The steps for recovery from COVID-19 and future productivity in the economy will need augmented reality to adjust to the new normal, contributing to the augmented reality software market growth during the forecast period. Many companies are facing an incredible loss of human experience and intelligence due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many businesses are just focusing on preserving the intelligence and surviving this crisis rather than investments and augmented reality might be much cheaper than expected. For example, PTC, during this COVID-19 crisis, made available Vuforia Chalk for companies letting them to start adapting to AR for the COVID-19 recovery. Vuforia Chalk and Microsoft Dynamics are some of the augmented reality programs which are used by an employee in the future to retrain or learn a task from the expert's already preserved notes and set of instructions using smartphones, tablets, and other devices. AR-based training solutions will help companies to preserve and pass on the required intelligence to the employees faster once the path of recovery begins.

The combination of artificial intelligence and augmented reality shows many opportunities as both are separate but complementary technologies. Artificial intelligence models will enhance augmented reality experience by adding interactivity and effects to AR scenes like real-world object tagging, enabling an AR system to predict the appropriate interface for a person in each virtual environment, and enhances AR to create a multidimensional and responsive virtual experience that can bring in new levels of insight and creativity. For instance, in January 2022, AR’s Games, an Italian gaming firm announced that it is set to launch the world’s first artificial intelligence-based augmented reality video game. This game combines artificial intelligence and augmented reality to develop a first-person shooting game made with real people. It is named The Real Tournament and made exclusively for mobile devices. This combination will boost the augmented reality software market growth during the forecast period.

In June 2022, The Glimpse Group Inc., a US-based immersive technology platform companies wholly owned subsidiary company QReal LLC (a developer of 3D and AR content) acquired the assets of PulpoAR for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition integrates PulpoAR with QReal and speeds up the growth and increases capabilities as well market presence. PulpoAR is a Turkish augmented reality SaaS (software as a service) company offering artificial intelligence-based virtual try-on technology.
