3D-enabled Devices Market

3D-enabled Devices Market - Overview

3D-enabled devices are devices used for enhancing the customer viewing experience with the help of the 3D visual technology. 3D-enabled devices include smartphones, tablets, cameras, gaming consoles, and desktops. These devices are used for both personal and commercial purposes. Currently, they are largely used for the entertainment purpose, for example, movies and gaming. Several manufacturers are offering customized 3D-enabled devices for educational and commercial purposes such as for use in medical colleges and R&D units of manufacturing industries. Customized 3D-enabled devices and contents are costlier than normal devices and contents. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are offering 3D displays in laptops and notebooks to enhance the customer experience. Additionally, 3D-enabled devices are available with glasses and without glasses, as per the customer requirement. 3D-enabled devices are also offered along with virtual reality (VR) headsets as a complete 3D viewing solution. Media companies are using 3D-enabled displays for promotional activities or for advertisement purpose. Manufacturing industries are adopting 3D-enabled devices for use in real-time object analysis, locating, orienting, and identifying by advanced facial recognition systems.

3D-enabled Devices Market - Drivers and Restraints

Increasing demand for technologically advanced smartphones and 3D displays with the availability of high quality 3D video content is driving the global market for 3D-enabled devices. Additionally, optimization of size and price of devices, introduction of the auto stereoscopic technology, and improved display performance enabling the user to view 3D displays without glasses are expected to propel the 3D-enabled devices market during the forecast period. Moreover, increasing demand for smartphones and other 3D-enabled devices is expected to create opportunities for manufacturers in the near future. Manufacturers are providing glass-free 3D devices for customers as a new trend in the 3D-enabled devices market. In order to gain market share and widen the customer base for 3D-enabled devices, manufacturers are providing customized or pre-designed 3D solutions to industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and media & entertainment. However, high prices of 3D devices and 3D content are likely to hamper the market especially during short and medium terms of the forecast period. Certain other factors, such as a few devices consuming higher power for 3D resolution and 3D effects, are expected to restrict the 3D-enabled devices market during the forecast period. Manufacturers are providing technologically advanced 3D devices for customer retention and to maintain their leading position in the global 3D-enabled devices market.
