China Augmented Reality Market Trends and Drivers:
Chinese augmented reality is undergoing a deep transition from unrealized consumer applications to deep industrial and enterprise applications driven by explicit national policy initiatives including the “Industrial Internet” initiative and “Made in China 2025” both which prioritize the digital and smart upgrading of Chinese manufacturing. Not simply a novelty, leading manufacturers are now deploying AR smart glasses for certain more complex tasks on their assembly lines. Digital work instructions, along with remote expert guidance systems, promise reductions in operational downtime of up to 25%, as well as reductions in training costs for new technicians of up to 50%. AR is used in automotive and aerospace equipment manufacturing for quality control, where 3D CAD models are superimposed on prototypes, allowing the instant measurement of millimeter displacements. An enterprise-first approach generates more predictable and profitable revenues for AR developers by creating integrated software-hardware platforms sold under multi-year contracts rather than applications with one-off license fees. The platforms solve real business problems such as supply chain logistics, field service, and advanced engineering.
Relatedly, the growth of AR and innovation taking place in China is largely linked to China’s digital infrastructure, the most advanced in the world. China is steadily deploying 5G standalone networks paired with edge computing nodes across its territories to help eliminate the latency, bandwidth and processing power shortfalls facing earlier AR applications. This has set the stage for “cloud-rendered AR”, in which compute-heavy AR content is processed in edge servers and streamed to low-cost AR glasses and smartphones. This reduces the technical barriers faced by heavy mobile AR platforms, increases the fidelity and persistence of AR content, and extends the battery life of mobile devices greatly. Proprietary Chinese artificial intelligence algorithms are also spurring the development of smarter, more contextual AR contents. Examples include online and offline retailers using computer vision for virtual product try-ons of garments and cosmetics with over 98% accuracy in texture, fabric and fit, and smart city implementations of AI-based augmented reality for city asset maintenance to allow a city engineer, by viewing a city street through a tablet computer, to see where the street’s underground utility lines and other assets are located.
Yet, while enterprise use cases are growing, the consumer metaverse is still nascent as a social commerce and branding opportunity. Chinese technology companies, both large and small, are beginning to build out limited metaverse ecosystems, using AR as a primary point of access for consumers and helping brands and customers connect between both worlds. This trend has led to the emergence of “See-Now-Buy-Now” AR commerce, where users take a phone, point it at a TV show, magazine or a blank space in their living room, and immediately see and purchase a variety of products. An analysis of the top e-commerce livestreams revealed that interactivity through AR experiences can increase viewer engagement by over 300% and conversion rates by over 40% compared to customary video livestreams. In non-ecommerce applications, AR is becoming a key part of social networking, allowing new forms of content creation for creators such as interactive music videos and location-based narrative games that use the real world as a canvas to tell a story. It blends social media, live streaming, and augmented reality to create a powerful, one-to-one marketing channel that brings together user engagement and direct monetization in a way that has never been seen before and is now being rolled out globally.
