Driven by the availability of AR SDK, improvements in smartphone performance and prospects of the gaming industry, AR entertainment is expected to have a promising future with market size of RMB180 billion by 2025, indicating a CAGR of 92.6%, and surpassing advertisement to be the biggest application scenario of AR.
