Mixed Reality Market size was over USD 3 Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to exceed USD 58 Billion by the end of 2036, growing at over 40.7% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2024-2036. In the year 2024, the industry size of mixed reality is evaluated at USD 4.4 Billion. A growing number of network technologies are creating a mixed reality environment, including SD-WAN, 5G cellular, Wi-Fi 6, AI enablement, and network automation. These technologies provide a robust platform that enables businesses to quickly and securely deploy services in the cloud and support real-time applications such as Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR).
The mixed reality system also facilitates aircraft engineers' training, enabling them to examine and analyze parts of the engine through the use of holographic images. This allows engineers to gain a better understanding of the engine and its components. Additionally, they can use the model to simulate repairs or maintenance, which allows engineers to practice these tasks before actually doing them on the engine.
