Report Summary:

Wholesale revenues for Virtual Reality headset globally will grow over 5000% in the next 7 years, fueled by the launch of costly VR headsets from Oculus, HTC and Sony. However, it is low cost phone-based VR headsets that will dominate 87% of this year’s unit volume and serve to whet user appetites for a range of future VR use cases. Indeed, given how early it is in the VR market, consumers already enjoy an astounding variety of options to suit many price points. This Insight looks at the promise and pitfalls of phone-based Cardboard and Gear VR systems, and why they are seen as a critical entrée to VR for early adopters.
