LONDON – Virtual reality (VR) is currently on the brink of becoming mainstream, with the market value likely to surpass USD 40 billion by 2020. VR involves the creation of a virtual world that engages with consumers.

The key factors driving the market comprise expanding digitisation, technology innovations, surging demand for head mounted displays (HMDs) in games and entertainment industries, alongside a hike in investment in the VR marketplace.
