Impact of Covid-19 on the Global Extended Reality Market

The Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 generated the situation of lockdown & stringent movement restrictions that propelled the adoption of extended reality since several organizations became reliant on AR & VR tools for operational continuation. ER combines augmented, virtual, & mixed reality technologies that enable people to virtually do most of their tasks.

With movement restrictions & lockdowns, most businesses adopted work-from-home culture, which boosted virtual conferences & events among them. The leading market players also started heavily investing in ER technology to deliver better solutions to businesses, which further offered profitable opportunities to the market players to cater to a large population base with enhanced solutions.

Furthermore, the lockdown led to the increasing number of people indulging in the virtual environment to support online classes, virtual shopping, & remote working. However, the macro-economic uncertainty had a short-term negative impact on the growth of the Extended Reality Market in 2020.
