COVID-19 Impact: Market Witness Decent Growth Owing to the Rise in Technology
The COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the Military Augmented Reality (AR) Headgear Market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.
The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted the global corporate sector. Many countries have enacted draconian lockdowns, severely limiting how firms can conduct business and, in many circumstances, forcing operations to halt. COVID-19 has had a favorable impact on expanding the military augmented reality headgear market share as demand for the technology rises across industries like media and entertainment, education, healthcare, and retail. Furthermore, the usage of augmented reality technology has been one of the leading trends in the beauty and fashion industries. It aids brands with experience marketing, immersive storytelling, and so on. AR became a valuable resource with most stores shuttered due to COVID-19-induced lockdowns.

Driving Factors
"Introduction Smart Contact Lenses to Propel Market Growth"
An important element fueling the growth of the military augmented reality headgear market is the introduction of smart contact lenses. Contact lenses have grown in popularity due to their applications in vision correction technology and biomedical sensing to monitor physiological parameters in the body. They are progressively gaining traction in the field of AR platform displays. This technology is likely due to people using AR headsets becoming dizzy and disoriented. The new smart contact lens is expected to avoid these negative effects and continue to provide a more pleasant experience. The development of contact lens-based AR is still in its early stages, and it faces some important potential hurdles, such as the form of human eyes.
"COTS-based Architecture to Amplify Market Growth"
Factors such as the expense of aircraft fuel, the cost of obtaining training ammunition, and the depreciation and depletion of military platforms during training exert pressure on overall defense expenditures. This has forced defense ministries worldwide to rely on various sorts of simulation and virtual training equipment. The global military AR headgear market has been highly supported by COTS-based architecture, which provides plug-and-play functionality. Because the development cost of bespoke equipment is higher than the cost associated with COTS systems, COTS components are extensively integrated into AR products.
Restraining Factors
"Battery Draining Issues To Restrict Market Growth"
One of the major obstacles impeding the military augmented reality headgear market growth is battery issues with AR headgear. The reliability of an AR headgear's battery is critical to its operation. Battery life and capacity have been serious difficulties for all AR headgear utilized for commercial or military applications. Dismounted soldiers, in particular, rely heavily on the battery life of military AR headgear because they frequently lack access to electricity. The lack of a good battery forces soldiers to carry extra power packs, which adds to their burden and improves their chances of avoiding AR equipment.
