95 Percent of Industrial Professionals Using Extended Reality (XR) Feel Safer on the Job, HTC VIVE Survey Finds
Wednesday, March 13, 2024
More than 7 in 10 respondents say their organization saw a return on their XR investment in the form of reduced waste, saved time, and other cost savings
SEATTLE, March 5, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- HTC VIVE has released a report on the use of extended reality (XR) technology by U.S. manufacturers across 10 different industries titled "The State of Extended Reality in Manufacturing." This report was created from a survey of 400 professionals throughout the U.S. in various industries from motor vehicles and electronics to chemical and energy products. A full 75% of respondents who adopted XR saw a clear return on their investment, and 63% said it was a "seamless" experience or that it required little support. The technology shows particular promise in employee training, with 95% of respondents feeling safer on the job after learning the ropes in an XR-simulated environment.
The XR market is poised to grow from $105.58 billion in 2023 to $472.39 billion by 2028 according to market data research firm Mordor Intelligence. Businesses of all sizes seek ways to optimize operational processes, increase efficiency, reduce costs, and mitigate risks, and XR offers a compelling solution. Half (50%) of manufacturers surveyed are currently leveraging XR technology to tackle a broad spectrum of challenges in design layout and planning, quality control and inspection, design prototyping, inventory management, assembly processes, and employee training. Among manufacturers that haven't incorporated XR into their workflows yet, 59% plan to do so in the next five years, and 74% plan to do so within a decade, according to the HTC VIVE survey results.
Additional key findings from the report include:
-- Among manufacturers already using XR, 70% have implemented it in
training, decreasing the need for costly and potentially dangerous
in-person exercises.
-- XR's use cases in manufacturing are still being discovered; 40% of
respondents said they see future potential in areas such as inventory
management and maintenance and repair.
-- Improved training is a powerful motivator for adoption, but so is
improved efficiency; 67% of companies have integrated XR for this
reason.
"We've seen very healthy momentum of XR solutions in the manufacturing and industrial sector. Our latest report shows that broadscale XR adoption in this industry is a matter of 'when,' not 'if,'" said Daniel O'Brien, GM of Americas at HTC VIVE. "Not only is XR an incredible tool for training manufacturing professionals and making them safer, it also results in significant time and cost reductions. This gives manufacturing firms using XR now or in the future a competitive advantage."
