Generative artificial intelligence for three-dimensional assets supports electronic commerce and online marketing by allowing businesses to create realistic three-dimensional product models, virtual showrooms, and interactive advertisements without extensive manual design work. For example, in November 2023, according to the International Trade Administration, a US-based government agency, the United Kingdom had the third-largest electronic commerce market globally, with electronic commerce revenue projected to reach $285.6 billion by 2025, accounting for 36.3% of total retail sales. Therefore, the increasing demand for electronic commerce and online marketing is fueling the growth of the generative artificial intelligence for three-dimensional assets market.

Key companies operating in the generative artificial intelligence for three-dimensional assets market are focusing on developing open-source text-to-three-dimensional and image-to-three-dimensional foundation models to accelerate asset creation and reduce costs. Open-source text-to-three-dimensional and image-to-three-dimensional foundation models are large neural networks trained on extensive two-dimensional and three-dimensional datasets that generate meshes, materials, and textures directly from natural language prompts or reference images while providing open access to code and weights for community integration and development. For example, in March 2025, Tencent Holdings Ltd., a China-based technology company, released five open-source three-dimensional generation models based on Hunyuan3D-2.0, including turbo versions that can generate high-quality three-dimensional visuals in about 30 seconds, aimed at designers and game developers. Its open-source nature, fast processing speed, and enhanced text consistency, geometric precision, and visual quality support rapid prototyping and lower content production costs. The technology also integrates seamlessly into existing workflows, enabling fast and scalable creation of three-dimensional assets for gaming, design, and virtual environments.

In May 2024, Autodesk Inc., a US-based design and software company, acquired Wonder Dynamics for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Autodesk aims to enable more artists and creators to efficiently produce high-quality three-dimensional content by incorporating Wonder Dynamics’ artificial intelligence-based tools into its Media and Entertainment portfolio. The acquisition helps Autodesk reduce barriers to three-dimensional content creation, accelerate workflows, and enable scalable production of animated characters and visual effects across films, games, and virtual environments. Wonder Dynamics is a US-based company specializing in generative artificial intelligence solutions for three-dimensional assets.

Tariffs have created both challenges and opportunities for the generative AI for 3D assets market by increasing the cost of importing GPU servers, high-performance workstations, storage systems, and 3D scanning devices required for model training and asset generation pipelines. These higher hardware costs can slow adoption among studios, gaming companies, and design firms, particularly in North America and Europe that depend on Asia-Pacific semiconductor and electronics supply chains. Hardware-heavy segments such as on-premises rendering farms, GPU accelerator clusters, and professional 3D capture equipment are most affected due to longer lead times and higher capital expenditure. However, tariffs are also accelerating the shift toward cloud-based GPU usage, encouraging more efficient model architectures, and driving vendors to offer managed 3D asset generation services that reduce the need for upfront hardware investments.
