Why India’s AR & VR Market Is Building Up Fast in 2025
The AR and VR world is no longer a niche corner of tech news. In India 2025 is shaping up to be a turning point. More people are talking about immersive gaming experiences, virtual training, and interactive digital classrooms. Connectivity is improving, devices are getting cheaper, and developers are finally focusing on local content that feels relevant. When all of this comes together it changes how gamers and tech lovers engage with their screens.
Industry forecasts suggest that the AR and VR market in India will hit USD 2.1 billion in 2025 and grow to more than USD 11 billion by 2031, largely driven by gaming, entertainment, education, and enterprise training as reported by Mobility Foresights. Hardware alone is expected to generate USD 225.8 million in revenue this year according to Statista’s VR hardware outlook. On the software side, immersive content is also scaling quickly with Statista’s VR software forecast showing steady growth.
What Is Driving the Surge
Several factors are driving this surge. First, the rollout of 5G and stronger internet coverage across India is reducing lag, which has always been the biggest barrier to VR adoption. Ken Research notes that high-speed connectivity is key to making immersive experiences reliable and consistent.
Second, standalone VR devices that do not require expensive PCs or consoles are helping adoption. As Cpluz points out, more affordable options are encouraging younger players to try immersive platforms. Indian youth want tech that feels modern and personal, and VR delivers exactly that.
Third, local developers are beginning to build content that resonates. When language, culture, and festivals are reflected inside games or apps, experiences become more meaningful. Reports from Libero’s industry blog suggest Indian studios are working on festival-themed content, interactive landscapes, and stories that directly connect with players here.
What It Means for Gamers and Consoles
This shift is reshaping the expectations of gamers. Consoles are still central but they are no longer enough by themselves. VR adds an extra layer. Renting or visiting gaming lounges with VR setups is becoming popular as players want to try hardware before investing. For those who already own a PS5 or Xbox, VR will not replace console gaming but it can complement it with add-on missions, special modes, and cross-integrated features.
