The increased integration of digitalization technologies in manufacturing is anticipated to drive the digital twin market during the forecast period, elevating the capabilities of manufacturers and fostering operational advancements.

The digital twin market is poised for growth, driven by the escalating demand for digital twins in the healthcare sector. In healthcare systems, digital twins are employed to generate digital representations of healthcare data, encompassing aspects such as hospital environments, laboratory findings, and human physiology. This technology facilitates the analysis of operational strategies, resource allocation, staffing, and care models by creating virtual models of healthcare facilities. This, in turn, enables the identification of problem areas, anticipation of upcoming challenges, and enhancement of organizational tactics. Major players in the healthcare industry are increasingly adopting digital twins to achieve operational efficiency. For instance, Accenture reports that over the next three years (2022-2024), 66% of healthcare executives anticipate an uptick in their organizations' investment in intelligent digital twins. Furthermore, Gartner forecasts that by 2025, a structured digital twin program will be integral to the digital transformation strategy of 25% of healthcare delivery organizations. The growing demand for digital twins in healthcare is set to drive the overall growth of the digital twin market in the forecast period, as organizations seek innovative solutions to optimize their operations and improve patient care.

A prominent trend driving the digital twin market is the ongoing emphasis on technological advancement. Major players within the digital twin sector are actively engaged in the development of innovative technological solutions to enhance their standing in the market. A noteworthy example is One Concern, a US-based provider of resilience-as-a-service solutions, which introduced Domino in February 2022. Domino represents a high-resolution digital twin solution designed to identify abnormal changes in complex networks and ecosystems, spanning the power grid, transportation networks, and communities. In another instance, in January 2021, DIGIPREDICT pioneered digital-twin technology aimed at improving diagnostic methods for COVID-19. The primary objective of this project is to enable the identification, monitoring, and screening of high-risk patients, facilitating the provision of tailored supportive care based on individualized referral decisions. This focus on technological advancement underscores the dynamic nature of the digital twin market as companies strive to introduce cutting-edge solutions that address emerging challenges and opportunities.

A significant trend gaining traction in the digital twin market is the application of digital twins for the metaverse. Companies are strategically leveraging digital twins to deliver substantial value while laying the groundwork for the enterprise metaverse of the future. An illustrative collaboration in this realm occurred in June 2022 when Siemens, a German-based multinational industrial manufacturing company, partnered with Nvidia, a US-based multinational technology company. The partnership aimed to enable artificial intelligence (AI) digital twin capabilities, with Siemens modeling elements of the real world in software and seeking to advance its approach by fostering an industrial metaverse. Through integration with Nvidia's Omniverse platform, users can create photorealistic virtual simulations, marking a significant stride in harnessing the potential of digital twins within the evolving landscape of the metaverse. This trend reflects the strategic efforts of companies to align digital twin technology with the transformative possibilities presented by the metaverse, fostering collaboration and innovation in the digital twin market.

In December 2021, Germany-based multinational conglomerate corporation Siemens AG acquired EcoDomus, a California-based digital twin software provider, for an undisclosed amount. Following the acquisition, EcoDomus will integrate into Siemens and operate under the Siemens brand. This strategic move allows Siemens Smart Infrastructure to enhance its digital building portfolio, encompassing cloud-based building operations twin software and the flagship building management platform Desigo CC.
