Increased Adoption of Eye Tracking Technology in numerous sectors is driving the growth of the UK eye tracking market demand during the forecast period.

The UK Eye Tracking Market size was valued at USD 43.3 million in 2023, and is predicted to reach USD 276.7 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 29.1% from 2024 to 2030, according to new research by Next Move Strategy Consulting.

The adoption of eye monitoring system is increasing as businesses in retail, automotive, and advertising sectors leverage it to gain deeper insights into consumer behavior and preferences. This technology helps companies understand where and how consumers focus their attention, aiding in market analysis and enabling informed decisions to enhance products and marketing strategies.

For instance, in October 2023, Tobii, a leader in eye tracking hardware and software, launched a new product called UX Explore. This innovation allows researchers to conduct comprehensive eye tracking and attention measurement studies via mobile phones, potentially advancing eye tracking research and its applications across various industries, particularly in understanding user experiences and behavior.

Moreover, the increasing demand for eye tracking technology in smart wearables is significantly driving the UK eye tracking market growth. As more consumers adopt devices such as augmented reality glasses and virtual reality headsets, the need for sophisticated eye-tracking capabilities is becoming more pronounced. Eye-tracking technology enhances user experiences by enabling precise control, seamless interaction, and more immersive experiences in these devices.

This capability is particularly important in applications such as gaming, virtual training, and interactive media, where accurate and responsive user input is critical. The growing popularity of smart wearables for both personal and professional use underscores the expanding market for eye-tracking solutions, as manufacturers integrate these technologies to meet consumer expectations and improve device functionality. This trend is anticipated to continue, further accelerating the adoption and development of eye-tracking technology within the smart wearables sector.

However, the proliferation of alternative technologies, including gesture recognition, unimodal methods, and multimodal activity recognition, emerges as a significant restraint on the growth of the eye tracking market. Gesture recognition, for instance, employs mathematical algorithms to interpret human gestures, enabling device control through simple movements. 

This technology is particularly adept at recognizing emotions conveyed through facial expressions, hand gestures, and body language. In sectors such as consumer electronics and gaming, where the ability to predict user behavior is paramount, these alternative technologies offer valuable insights that extend beyond the capabilities of traditional eye tracking. Consequently, the availability and adoption of such alternatives hinder the market's growth potential by providing competitive solutions that cater to diverse user needs and preferences.

On the other hand, the swift integration of eye-tracking technology across various sectors, including augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), lie-detection systems, and cognitive testing, is poised to unlock significant opportunities within the eye tracking market.

This technology plays a crucial role in enhancing image clarity and reducing eye strain in AR and VR applications, thereby elevating user engagement and comfort levels. This technology benefits from natural stimuli and controlled data collection, making it a dynamic field driven by startups and investments from tech giants such as Apple, Google, Facebook, and Samsung.

For instance, in March 2022, Mojo Vision announced a new advanced prototype of its AR smart contact lens Mojo Lens. The prototype includes various new hardware features and advanced technologies such as advanced display, communications, eye tracking technology, and a power system embedded into the lens. It allows users to access timely information quickly and discreetly without forcing them to look down at a screen.
