State of play and statistics on augmented reality advertising in 2023
Of the $18.67 billion in global mobile augmented reality market revenues forecast by ARtillery Intelligence for 2023, $18.8 %, or $3.50 billion, will come from augmented reality advertising revenues. This figure is expected to triple to around $10.74 billion by 2027.
