Global Virtual Production Market by Component (Hardware, Services, Software), Production Stage (Post-Production, Pre-Production, Production), End-User - Forecast 2023-2030

The Virtual Production Market size was estimated at USD 2.17 billion in 2022, USD 2.55 billion in 2023, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.19% to reach USD 8.27 billion by 2030.

Virtual production integrates physical and virtual filmmaking techniques to create breakthrough media. Real-time 3D engines are used to create photorealistic sets and displayed on large LED walls behind physical sets using the real-time rendering capabilities of the game engines. The cameras are synced with the game engines for enhanced realism and depth of perspective. Virtual production allows studios to build bigger, innovate more, and deliver high-quality results in production. The rising popularity of enhanced graphics and the surging demand for visual effects in film production studios are accelerating the use of virtual production techniques. However, elevated cost and technical complexities of virtual production may impede their adoption by the film industry. Moreover, the introduction of technologically advanced virtual production hardware and integration of software with novel technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can provide real-time insights and improve the visibility of operations and is expected to encourage their adoption by end-users worldwide.
