This has contributed to the growing demand for driving simulator. Further, China, South Korea, India, and Japan are projected to implement strict vehicle and road safety laws, which is expected to propel the market growth in the region in the coming years.

Driving Simulator: Market Segmentation

Driving simulator is a technology that was developed to train drivers in a virtual environment. It is used for both entertainment and education. It also helps to improve driving conditions and skills by providing sufficient instructions to the driver. The simulator's sensors also keep track of the driver's reaction time, efficiency in dealing with circumstances, and attention. The sensors also give data that is used to better assess and develop the driver assistance system.

Based on vehicle type, the market is bifurcated into:

• Passenger Car
• Commercial Vehicle

By simulator type, the industry is segmented into:

• Compact Simulator
• Full-Scale Simulator
• Advanced Simulator

On the basis of application, the market is categorised into:
