UAE VR market set to reach AED 1.6bn as real estate drives growth

The United Arab Emirates immersive virtual reality market is projected to grow to AED 1.6 billion by 2030, up from AED 366 million in 2024, as adoption accelerates across sectors led by real estate. According to Grand View Research, the market is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of around 28%.

In the property sector, immersive technologies are transforming both pre-construction and sales processes. Virtual walkthroughs and life-sized projections are enabling developers and investors to visualise projects before completion, improving design precision and reducing costly revisions. The technology is also enhancing remote purchasing, strengthening the UAE’s position as a global property investment hub.

Industry executives said demand for AR and VR solutions continues to rise as the country advances its smart urban development and digital transformation agenda.
