Introduction

The Virtual Tour Market, valued at USD 8.89 billion in 2023, is projected to skyrocket to USD 127.47 billion by 2032, growing at a striking CAGR of 34.49% (2024–2032). What’s driving this surge? Rising consumer demand for immersive experiences, the digital transformation of industries, and cost-effective virtual alternatives to physical visits. Whether it’s exploring dream homes, touring museums, or previewing travel destinations, virtual tours are making once-distant experiences instantly accessible.

With more users engaging via smartphones, tablets, and VR headsets, could this shift mark the beginning of a truly digital-first tourism and real estate era?

Key Players

Global leaders and innovators are shaping this market. Matterport Inc., with its 3D mapping and property tours, is a standout in real estate. Platforms like Kuula, CloudPano, and Eyespy360 empower creators with flexible, user-friendly virtual tour solutions. Meanwhile, companies such as Concept3D and Invision Studio focus on education and campus tours. With Costar Group’s 2025 acquisition of Matterport and Kuula’s partnership with Ricoh to boost camera integration, consolidation and collaboration are reshaping competition.

The big question: will hardware-focused giants like Ricoh dominate through equipment, or will software-driven platforms lead by creating seamless, scalable experiences?

Segmentation

By technology, semi and fully immersive tours led with 62% share in 2023, thanks to VR/AR demand, while non-immersive solutions (360° videos, web-based tours) are growing fastest due to affordability. In terms of applications, real estate leads (37% in 2023), helping buyers explore properties remotely, while tourism & hospitality is expected to grow the fastest (36.44% CAGR), transforming how travelers explore destinations. On the component side, hardware dominates (47%), but services are expanding fastest as businesses seek custom content and integration.

Which sector do you think will feel the biggest impact first—real estate, travel, or education?
