The virtual reality glove market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $5.13 billion in 2024 to $6.3 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.9%. The growth in the historic period was driven by increasing demand for immersive experiences, rising adoption in healthcare applications, technological advancements in haptics, growing use in industrial training, and greater focus on user interaction and gesture recognition.

The virtual reality glove market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.2 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.5%. The growth in the forecast period is driven by increasing integration of artificial intelligence, miniaturization of sensors, expanding applications in gaming and entertainment, and wider adoption of wireless connectivity technologies. Key trends in the forecast period include advancements in haptic feedback technology, integration with augmented and mixed reality, innovation in ergonomic and lightweight designs, development of AI-driven gesture recognition, and progress in cloud-based computing for VR data processing.

The increasing digital transformation is expected to drive the growth of the virtual reality glove market. Digital transformation involves the integration of digital technologies across all business functions to enhance operations, customer experiences, and overall value creation. This transformation is driven by the rising demand for improved customer experiences, prompting businesses to adopt tools such as AI, cloud, and analytics to offer faster, more personalized, and convenient services that boost customer satisfaction and loyalty. Digital transformation also fuels the demand for virtual reality gloves, as companies implement immersive technologies to improve remote collaboration, enabling users to interact naturally with virtual environments using hand movements and touch. For instance, in November 2023, the Central Digital and Data Office, a UK-based government agency, revealed that digital transformation in the government could save over $1.17 billion (£1 billion) by eliminating paper-related costs. By 2025, a competitive digital remuneration framework could save $122.12 million (£101 million) annually, reducing attrition rates and dependence on costly labor. As a result, the ongoing digital transformation is driving the growth of the virtual reality glove market.

The increasing industrial activities are expected to contribute to the growth of the virtual reality glove market. Industrial activities involve large-scale production and processing of goods using machines, equipment, and human labor in factories or industrial facilities. These activities are rising due to the growing global demand for manufactured goods, as economic growth and urbanization lead to higher consumption across industries such as construction, automotive, and electronics. Virtual reality gloves offer significant benefits in industrial activities by enabling workers to simulate complex tasks in a virtual environment, providing safe and effective training while reducing the risk of equipment damage and personal injury. For example, in September 2024, a report by the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), a US-based advocacy group, noted that value-added output in manufacturing increased from an annual rate of $2.881 trillion in the first quarter to $2.91 trillion in the second quarter of 2024. Manufacturing accounted for 10% of the total value-added output in the U.S. economy during this period. Additionally, real value-added output in manufacturing rose from $2.337 trillion annually in the first quarter to $2.384 trillion in the second quarter. As a result, the rise in industrial activities is fueling the growth of the virtual reality glove market.

Leading companies in the virtual reality glove market are focusing on developing innovative approaches, such as integrating haptic feedback, to gain a competitive edge. Haptic feedback integration allows virtual reality gloves to simulate realistic touch sensations, improving user interaction and immersion in virtual environments. For example, in June 2025, UdexReal, a China-based technology company, introduced the UDCap virtual reality gloves, which offer advanced haptic feedback, wireless connectivity, and an ergonomic design for extended use. These gloves provide precise motion tracking and tactile responses, delivering a more immersive and natural experience for users. This innovation meets the growing consumer demand for enhanced interactivity and realism in virtual reality applications.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the information technology sector, particularly in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Higher duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have raised production and operational costs for tech firms, cloud service providers, and data centers. Companies relying on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are facing longer lead times and increased pricing pressures. In parallel, tariffs on specialized software tools and retaliatory measures from key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and reduced overseas demand for U.S.-developed technologies. To navigate these challenges, the sector is accelerating investments in domestic chip fabrication, diversifying supplier bases, and adopting AI-driven automation to enhance operational resilience and cost efficiency.
