According to the document, by 2026 the total volume of the Chinese VR market, including software, hardware and applications, will exceed 350 billion yuan (about 3 trillion rubles).
By the same date, it is planned to “grow” 100 enterprises with “strong innovative capabilities” and influence on the industry. Sales of VR terminals should reach 25 million units.
China also intends to build ten leading regional industrial clusters specializing in virtual reality, and launch ten industrial service platforms to provide services to citizens.
