The most growth-affected sector will be the Hardware’s production one. Specifically, head-mounted displays are taking the prize, them being those “helmets” or “visors” used by Playstation and Xbox’s enthusiasts at the moment but that will have a lot of other uses in a near future. –Indeed, thanks to the development of “MIxed Reality” (a mixture of AR and VR) these visors will be launched profusely to the point of taking up the 65% of AR’s market’s incomes, thus bringing the growth rate of hardware sales to 95% per year in the 2014-2024 decade. –To really grasp the idea try to imagine that for each sold visor now, 650 will be sold in ten years. Even your motorcycle helmet will be transformed in a augmented reality one! Not one will be spared!

Another important aspect to take into account is the fact that consumers are drawn towards wearable objects. The Apple Watch is the most striking example. Within the manufacture field, but also in other industries, there will be remarkable expenditures for this kind of products. This will happen with the set goal of improving employees’ efficiency to create adaptability to the logics of the 4.0 Industry!
