For those that take the dive into immersive tech, the gains are real and demonstrable, strengthening the case for investment and deployment. Our XR Industry Insight Report (2019-2020) showed that a massive 93% of enterprises that have decided to use VR have seen a positive effect on their business, with 57% saying that that uplift was very positive. In 2018, 38% said that they were seeing strong or very strong growth in VR for enterprise, which rose to 46% in 2019’s survey. This reflects demand trends with enterprise end users seeing a strong ROI. 93% of enterprise users said that VR had had a positive impact on their business and 88.4% said the same for AR/MR. AR/MR is being used far less frequently, with 56.6% saying that they use the technology and most likely applications in sales, marketing and external communications (although not everyone). Clearly, enterprises deploying XR are reaping the rewards; yet for those who have not begun their immersive transformation, gaining internal buy-in and proving the value can be a challenge.
