Report Outlook

The global eye tracking market was valued at USD 302.5 million in 2017 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 24.8% during the forecast period.

Eye tracking is the analysis of the direction of the gaze or the relative motion of the eye to the head. Eye tracking involves measuring the position and movement of the eye. It also measures various activities such as direction of gaze, selective ignorance, blinking and pupil reaction to different inputs. The eye tracking solutions are non-intrusive, and include two components namely camera and a light source. The infrared light source is directed towards the eye, while the camera tracks its reflection along the pupil.

The growing adoption of eye-tracking technology in various sectors such as military and aerospace boost the growth of the global eye tracking market. The rise in the use of smart devices such as mobile phones, laptops and tablets propels the demand for assistive technology, which further supports the market growth. Other factors influencing the global eye tracking market include application of eye tracking technology in lie-detecting systems, video games, cognitive testing, virtual reality and aviation industry. The high costs associated with this technology hampers the eye tracking market market growth. Moreover, the technological advancements, and rapid R&D in this field would offer opportunities for improvement and further aide market growth.
