6-Point Checklist for Investing in Virtual Reality

Virtual Reality (VR) is one of those technologies that's been promised for years, but has -- until recently -- failed to live up to the hype. There's plenty of evidence pointing to a bright future for VR, but investors need to know a few things first, like how big the market will be, what the risks are, who the key players are, and why they should to play this strategy out over the long-term. So let's take a look at six things you should know before investing in VR.

Grand View Research estimates that that the global VR market will be worth $48.5 billion by 2025. That's the top-end of some estimates and others range from $7.5 billion and $22.5 billion. The VR market was worth just $1.8 billion last year, which means virtual reality is poised for huge growth no matter which estimate is more accurate.
