Virtual Reality Emergency Security Training Global Market Report 2025

The virtual reality emergency security training market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.3 billion in 2024 to $1.55 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.1%. Growth during the historic period can be attributed to the rising need for realistic emergency simulations, increased demand for cost-effective training methods, heightened awareness of safety preparedness in high-risk sectors, a growing shortage of experienced emergency personnel, and a surge in workplace emergencies and threats.

The virtual reality emergency security training market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.1 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.8%. Projected growth in the forecast period is driven by an increased emphasis on a zero-incident safety culture, rising demand for remote and scalable emergency training programs, growing corporate focus on risk management, expanding need for flexible remote training solutions, and the implementation of broader corporate risk mitigation strategies. Key trends expected in the forecast period include real-time scenario simulations powered by advanced technology, development of customized emergency protocol modules, incorporation of behavioral analytics into training, integration with learning management systems, and advancements in psychological safety calibration.

The growth of virtual reality education is expected to drive the expansion of the virtual reality emergency security training market. Virtual reality education involves the use of immersive, computer-generated environments that replicate real or imagined settings for interactive and experiential learning. This growth is primarily fueled by increased access to realistic simulations that improve immersive and interactive learning experiences. Virtual reality emergency security training supports this trend by offering hands-on, immersive experiences that enhance learners' ability to prepare for and respond effectively to real-world crisis scenarios. For example, in September 2022, according to ApplyBoard, a Canada-based educational technology company, a PwC study revealed that VR learners were 40% more confident in applying their knowledge and 150% more engaged compared to learners in traditional classroom settings. As a result, the rise in virtual reality education is contributing to the growth of the VR emergency security training market.

Companies in the virtual reality emergency security training market are focusing on developing advanced, AI-powered hazard simulation modules to improve the realism and effectiveness of emergency preparedness training. Hazard simulation modules are VR-based programs that replicate high-risk scenarios to train individuals in safe and efficient emergency response. For instance, in March 2025, TDW Technologies Private Limited, an India-based VR/AR firm, launched the #TrainSafeWithVR campaign to highlight how immersive technology can elevate workplace safety and awareness. This initiative features AI-driven VR simulations of Dangerous, Impossible to recreate, Rare, and Expensive (DIRE) scenarios, enabling employees to safely practice technical skills and emergency responses in a lifelike setting. The campaign aims to boost safety compliance, reduce incidents, and engage digital-native employees through realistic training.

In April 2022, Axon Enterprise, Inc., a US-based manufacturing company, acquired Foundry 45 LLC for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition was aimed at strengthening Axon’s immersive VR training capabilities to deliver more effective, scalable, and accessible public safety training. Foundry 45 is a US-based technology company that creates immersive virtual reality training solutions across industries such as manufacturing, transportation, and logistics.

Virtual reality emergency security training involves the use of immersive VR technology to recreate emergency situations, enabling participants to practice safety and security procedures within a realistic yet controlled environment. This approach improves decision-making, readiness, and response capabilities without subjecting trainees to actual danger.

The primary categories of virtual reality emergency security training are systems and services. A system consists of interconnected components or elements that function together to accomplish a specific objective. Training types encompass fire safety, weapons training, cybersecurity awareness, emergency response protocols, active shooter simulations, disaster preparedness, first aid and CPR, and hazardous materials (hazmat) instruction. Technologies utilized in these programs include VR headsets, augmented reality platforms, mixed reality tools, simulation software, wearable tech, 3D visualization systems, and artificial intelligence integration. These training methods are applicable across diverse sectors such as law enforcement, fire safety, medical response, and industrial safety. They are intended for a variety of end users, including government bodies, healthcare organizations, educational institutions, corporate entities, and others.
