Demand for VR headsets remains low
Briefly

In 2024, virtual reality (VR) headset sales experienced a 12% decline compared to the previous year, marking the third consecutive year of falling sales. This downturn is primarily attributed to a decrease in consumer demand for VR headsets. Market leader Meta continues to dominate with a substantial 77% market share, followed by competitors such as Sony, Pico, DPVR, and Apple. Although Apple's Vision Pro has shown increasing interest among business users, it remains constrained by limited availability in only 13 countries and territories, which may affect its broader market appeal.
