Government support is the major factor that motivates companies to explore opportunities in the AR and VR market in South Korea. The country is targeting to become the global powerhouse in the fields of VR and AR. Therefore, developments in South Korea are expected to provide ample opportunities for AR and VR players in the coming years. In December 2020, the national government planned to spend ~USD 371 million on developing and implementing AR and VR technologies, primarily in the manufacturing, healthcare, construction, education, retail, and defense sectors. The government is looking to support projects for training healthcare professionals through VR, MR, and artificial intelligence-based test laboratories for elementary, middle, and high schools across South Korea.
South Korea has one of the world's fastest internet speeds and has the highest internet penetration rate; thus, the country has become the first choice of AR and VR vendors for various applications, including consumer and enterprise, as they have established and developed markets. For instance, in March 2021, LG signed a partnership agreement with Keysight Technology (US) and Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology to develop next-generation 6G network technology. The target is to complete the research by 2024. These are a few factors that are likely to contribute to the growth of the AR and VR market in South Korea.
