Demographic Analysis - Users of AR Apps (China)

The Chinese mobile AR market was estimated to grow at a rate of 110% from 2013 to 2018, largely driven by the growth in smartphone adoption in China. Baidu, Renren, and Tencent are considered to be leading companies in the mobile AR market in China.

WHAT INFORMATION IS NOT AVAILABLE?

The information about total number of AR app users across all devices like smartphones, desktop, consoles, etc in China is not available along with the breakdown of the total number of AR app users in China by age and gender; however, we were able to triangulate the total number of mobile AR app users in China.

RESEARCH STRATEGY

Our first strategy was to look into market research reports covering augmented reality market in China on websites of reputed market research companies like Allied Market Research, Markets and Markets, etc. We found that there are no exclusive reports covering Chinese AR market and instead the reports were of global scope and none of the reports provided any China-specific information freely as these reports were paid ones. Our logic behind looking into market research reports was that sometimes these research reports provide some portion of information for free and we were expecting to find some useful China-specific information from these reports. This strategy didn't work as none of the paywalled market research reports provided any relevant information about the AR market in China for free.

Our second research strategy consisted of looking into relevant reports about the top companies in augmented reality apps market of China and came across some relevant reports and articles from AWE Asia, PRNewswire, etc. The aim behind this research strategy was to look for relevant information about demographics of specific AR apps in China along with its share in Chinese AR apps market and use it as a proxy to find information about demographics of AR app users in China. We were able to find that Baidu, Renren, and Tencent are leading companies in Chinese AR apps market through this research strategy; however, there was no information about demographics of their AR apps in China along with its share in Chinese AR apps market.

The third strategy that we adopted consisted of expanding the scope to Asia and the Asia-Pacific market as China-specific information was not available. We looked for exclusive reports on AR apps market in Asia/Asia-Pacific on sites like Research and Markets, Sheer Analytics and Insights, etc. This strategy didn't work as expected because all relevant reports were paywalled.

At last, we looked into Chinese websites providing information on augmented reality like AR in China, Sohu, etc. We looked into China-based websites that provided information in Mandarin as we expected to find more relevant China-specific information about demographics of AR app users in China on these sites; however, these articles and reports provided general information about augmented reality in China and did not provide any demographics of Chinese AR app users.

THE TOTAL NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO USE mobile AR APPS IN THE COUNTRY

Here, we are assuming that the ratio of the number of people using AR apps in China to the number of people using AR apps in the world would be equal to the ratio of the number of mobile app users in China to the number of mobile app users globally. The information about total number of mobile app users in China is only available through a paid Statista source and the only free available information from this source provides total number of mobile app users in China in 2016; hence, we have assumed that the total number of mobile app users in China will remain the same in 2018 too. The number of mobile app users in China in 2016 is 720 million. We have considered the total number of mobile app users to be 720 million in 2018 as we have assumed that the total number of mobile app users in China will remain the same in 2018.

Now, we will use the data about the total number of mobile app users in China, along with the number of mobile app users globally (4.6 billion), and the number of mobile AR app users in 2018 (200 million).

CALCULATIONS:

Number of mobile app users in China/Number of mobile app users globally = Number of mobile AR app users in China/Number of mobile AR app users globally

Therefore, Number of mobile AR app users in China = Number of mobile app users in China × Number of mobile AR app users globally/Number of mobile app users globally

= 720 million × 200 million / 4.6 billion
= 31.3 million

Therefore, there are 31.3 million mobile AR app users in China in 2018.

Rate of Adoption of AR Technology (China)

Although much of the information regarding the rate of adoption of Augmented Reality (AR) technology among different demographic groups in China is locked behind pay-walls, and thus not publicly available, we have relied on the available information to produce a range of estimates for the client through making a series of calculations and triangulation. Because there was no information specifically available on China outside the paywall, we expanded our search to Asia-Pacific.

Asia-pacific currently holds 21% of the total market share. The overall popularity trend for AR apps in Asia Pacific from 2017 to 2023 is between 32.09% and 34.05% CAGR. The leading group in the adoption of AR technology is the 20-39 year old age group since they have the highest growth potential by making up 54% of the total. In our triangulation, we found the rate of adoption of AR apps within the Asia Pacific region among the various demographic groups to be as follows:

6.74-7.55% (19 and under)
9.63-10.78% (20-29)
7.7-8.63% (30-39)
4.49-5.03% (40-49)
3.21-3.59% (50 and over)

METHODOLOGY

Overall, it was very challenging to find sufficient information that can directly answer your question. This is because much of the information needed to answer your request is locked behind pay-walls like for the case of this detailed market report. However, we were able to secure valuable data that made it possible for us to make assumptions and triangulate an answer.

Because much of the data that is specifically on China regarding the adoption rate of AR technology among different demographic groups was not available in the public domain, we expanded our search to include the Asia Pacific region, of which China is the key player. We did find some literature on the US and we skimmed through these to find any relevant information on Asia, but it was of no help. In our search, we located data on venture financing projections in China for the AR market but this was insufficient to provide the total growth of the AR market, only the venture financing growth.

We went ahead to do a country analysis for China and identified the demographic information regarding mobile internet users and we used this in triangulating the demographic information after the CAGR is calculated. We learned China has a population of 1,400,000,000 and 55% of this used the internet in 2017. Also, in 2017, there were 753 million active mobile internet users in China. The demographics' breakdown are as follows:
Percent Age Range
23% under 19
30% 20-29
24% 30-39
14% 40-49
10% 50+

As we searched deeply by market, we found some useful sources (sources 3, 4, and 5) which have cited the detailed market report that is behind a paywall. These sources offer unique insights into the larger report behind a paywall. From these sources, there was no information on AR adoption rate specifically on China but we were able to use them to triangulate the CAGR for the Asia-Pacific market for the AR technology market. Also, we noted the availability of sufficient information on Virtual Reality and some articles referenced both, but the focus of this request was solely on AR.

Wonder's research team was able to determine the percentage of AR use by age group in the Asia-Pacific region but there was no estimated adoption rate. We went ahead to provide the current percentage of use by age range and the percentage of market CAGR that would be allocated to each of the age range as an estimate. Below, you can deeply dive into our findings.

AR GROWTH AND DEMOGRAPHICS

The overall popularity trend in the use of AR apps in Asia Pacific from 2017-2013 is between 32.09% and 34.05% CAGR. The Asia-Pacific region currently holds 21% of the total AR market share. For the year 2017 through to 2023, the gaming industry projects a growth of 68.10% which is the highest. Healthcare, manufacturing, and entertainment each project a growth rate of approximately 34.05%. Globally, the AR market is expected to grow from US $11.4 billion to US$60.55 billion at a CAGR of 40.29% by the year 2023. At 54% of the current total market share, the 20-39 year old demographic is the largest. The demographics are as follows:

6.74-7.55% (19 and under)
9.63-10.78% (20-29)
7.7-8.63% (30-39)
4.49-5.03% (40-49)
3.21-3.59% (50 and over)

By analyzing the available data from the detailed AR market report which is pay-walled, we noticed a chart offered in the summary data showing the AR CAGR in the gaming industry to be 68.10%. As this table lacked labels, we went ahead to estimate the values of the other industries based on each position on the chart. The overall highest category is Gaming while Healthcare, Manufacturing, Entertainment are each approximately half of the Gaming CAGR. Therefore, we assigned 34.05% as the CAGR value for those industries.
CALCULATION: 68.10 gaming CAGR / 2 = 34.05
Retail and other industries are each approximately 1/3 of the Gaming CAGR and thus we assigned the value of 22.07% to these industries.
CALCULATION: 68.10 gaming CAGR / 3 = 22.70

We left out the CAGR for Education and Aerospace out of the calculation because they were negligible. We went ahead to calculate the average CAGR to be 35.94%.
CALCULATION:
68.10 gaming + 34.05 entertainment + 34.05 healthcare + 34.05 manufacturing + 22.70 retail + 22.70 other = 215.65
215.65 / 6 categories = 35.94
One report that we found indicates that the global AR market is predicted to grow from US$11.4 billion to US$60.55 billion at a CAGR of 40.29% by 2023. Using these figures, we proceeded to determine how much of that growth is attributed to China. As we have already noted, specific information on China was not publicly available, and, therefore, we used the Asia-Pacific market for our data.

Players in the AR technology market include North America at 35%, Europe at 32%, Asia-Pacific at 21%, South America at 7%, and Middle East/Africa at 5%. Before determining the Asia-Pacific CAGR, we first discovered their market share for the figures given. In 2017, Asia-Pacific region AR market share was US$2.394 billion and was projected to grow to US$12.716 billion by 2023.
CALCULATIONS:
$11,400,000,000 (2017) * 21% = $2,394,000,000 Asia-Pacific 2017 market share
$60500000000 (2023) * 21% = $12,715,500,000 Asia-Pacific 2023 market share

Consequently, we went ahead to use a CAGR calculator to calculate the Asia-Pacific growth. We entered $2,394,000,000 as the initial value and $12,715,500,000 the final value. The number of periods was entered as 6 (2023-2017=6). The calculator produced a CAGR of 32.09% which is slightly less than the previous triangulation, so we decided to use a range that includes the high and low of our calculated CAGR.
Finally, to breakdown the CAGR by demographics or age ranges, we did calculate the percentage of the CAGR attributable to each age range for the low estimate and the high estimate CAGR. The range of CAGR growth attributed to each demographic is as follows:

Under 19 -> 6.74-7.55%
20-29 -> 9.63-10.78%
30-39 -> 7.7-8.63%
40-49 -> 4.49-5.03%
50+ -> 3.21-3.59%

From this, we noted that 20-29-year-olds and 30-39-year-olds have the highest usage.
CALCULATIONS:
32.09 * .21 (under 19) = 6.74
35.94 * .21 (under 19) = 7.55
32.09 * .30 (20-29) = 9.63
35.94 * .30 (20-29) = 10.78
32.09 * .24 (30*39) = 7.70
35.94 * .24 (30*39) = 8.63
32.09 * .14 (40-49) = 4.49
35.94 * .14 (40-49) = 5.03
32.09 * .10 (50+) = 3.21
35.94 * .10 (50+) = 3.59

Conclusion

In conclusion, we have triangulated a range of estimates for the CAGR growth of the AR industry attributed to each demographic group within the Asia-Pacific region. This was mainly because there was no publicly available information on AR adoption rate among different demographic groups specifically for China.

Psychographic Analysis - Users of AR Apps (U.S.)

Majority of those who use AR apps or technology in the US are gamers who are also interested in social AR apps, furniture visualization apps, in-store retail AR apps, and city guides. Smartphones, PC consoles, and standalone devices are the most commonly used AR app devices. Below are the details of the research carried out.

Methodology

As we searched through media sites, we could not find a compilation of the psychographic characteristics of the people who use AR apps or technology in the US as this information is not readily available in the public domain. As we thoroughly searched through sites such as PWC, Forbes, eMarketer, Deloitte, ARtillry Insights, Global web index, TECHnalysis Research, and Boston Consulting Group, we identified surveys, scholarly studies, industry reports, and news articles from which we gathered several psychographic insights.

The psychographic insights gathered included habits, motivations, preferences, attitudes, behavior, and perception of AR apps or technology. Our research was keen to find data and statistical information specific to the United States reported within the past 24 months.

We present all our compiled findings below.
