List of Tables

[196 Pages Report] The Virtual Production Market size was estimated at USD 2.55 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 3.01 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 18.27% 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.

Component: Significant penetration of virtual production software

Virtual production software assists the producers in pre-visualizing, designing, and visually editing effects in a real-time environment. Film and media producers increasingly use virtual production hardware due to the considerable rise in LED video wall screens for real-time background visuals required for in-house shoots. The use of virtual production hardware, including motion capture workstations, virtual camera systems, and simulation cameras, is expected to increase in film studios. Film producers employ virtual production services due to the lack of trained professionals to operate virtual production technology and implement visual effects (VFX) in video content production. Services of virtual output involve providing technical support in consulting, training, editing, and other virtual art services to help users create and design content. Virtual production software includes collaboration suites, digital asset management, 3D environment creators, virtual scouting, real-time animation, real-time composing, and other tools that aid in streamlining workflows and performing necessary content design and development tasks.

Production Stage: Expanding use of virtual production for post-production in media industry

Virtual production is widely used in the post-production stage for editing and collaborating post-shoot videos with graphics and visual effects (VFX). In the production stage, virtual production helps in performance capture through a virtual camera and enables video-makers to portray an imaginary character's action by simulating a real actor's movements. Virtual production is utilized for the first visualization of a movie or TV series during the pre-production stage for receiving approval from investors, producers, and studios. Real-time 3D artists convey the story and tone of production by creating digital scenes known as preliminary trailers, visualizing the filmmakers' creative intent.

End-User: Proliferating demand from film & television industry

Virtual production is primarily used in film & television, which utilizes augmented reality, computer-generated imagery (CGI), and motion capture to create realistic effects on a virtual set. Film & television industries are economically leveraged by virtual production by reducing the need for physical sets & locations. Virtual production allows immediate swapping of set locations and can be used to shoot commercial advertisements with the incorporation of visual effects. Game developers significantly utilize virtual production to create more realistic and immersive game environments, refine game elements before they are fully implemented in the game, and test out game mechanics. Recent developments include mobile virtual production super studio to help social media influencers for making more attractive videos.

Regional Insights

The virtual production market represents a highly evolving landscape in the Americas owing to their extensive applications in the filmmaking studios in the region. The growing demand for online videos and the rising popularity of on-demand video streaming in the APAC and EMEA countries are encouraging visual production in the region. Governments and cultural organizations worldwide are heavily investing in the film sector to support the growth of a sustainable local film industry by empowering the private sector with financing packages that support local content and promote filmmaking. For instance, in March 2023, Saudi Cultural Development Fund launched its Film Sector Financing Program, offering USD 233 million in financial support to local and international film companies involved in the country's burgeoning cinema industry. Additionally, advances in virtual production software and hardware broaden their applications in content creation, three-dimensional texturing, and post-process motion-capturing data, which is expected to accelerate their use by film and media producers across the world.
