Digital Twin Global Market Report 2025

A digital twin is a virtual representation of an object or system, spanning its entire lifecycle and continuously updated with real-time data. It aids decision-making through simulation, machine learning, and reasoning, providing insights into current and future performance. This technology enables engineers and operators to comprehend not only the present functionality of items but also their future behavior. Digital twins generate predictions by analyzing data from connected sensors and integrating it with information from various sources.

There are three main types of digital twins such as product digital twins, process digital twins, and system digital twins. Product digital twins serve as virtual counterparts of real products or processes, facilitating the understanding and prediction of their physical performance. These solutions leverage data from all stages of the product and manufacturing lifecycles. Technologies employed in digital twin implementations include IoT and IIoT, artificial intelligence and machine learning, extended reality, big data analytics, and 5G. Digital twins find applications in various industries such as manufacturing, energy and power, aerospace, oil and gas, automobile, transportation, among others.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the information technology sector, especially in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Increased duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have driven up production and operating costs for tech companies, cloud service providers, and data centers. Firms that depend on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are grappling with extended lead times and mounting pricing pressures. At the same time, tariffs on specialized software and retaliatory actions by key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and dampened foreign demand for U.S.-made technologies. In response, the sector is ramping up investments in domestic chip production, broadening its supplier network, and leveraging AI-powered automation to improve resilience and manage costs more effectively.

The digital twin market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $21.01 billion in 2024 to $28.9 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 37.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to surge in the adoption of industrial IoT, adoption of 3d printing and increased use of digital twins in the manufacturing sector.

The digital twin market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $96.01 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 35.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing demand for increasing demand for digital twins in healthcare, rise in establishment of smart building infrastructure and COVID-19 impact. Major trends in the forecast period include using digital twin for metaverse, innovation in technology, developing digital twin solutions to optimize supply chains and operational processes, adopting digital twins in the pharmaceutical industry for drug discovery.

The forecast of 35.0% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.9% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariff-induced delays in acquiring real-time sensors and edge computing devices key enablers of digital twins may slow adoption across U.S. industries like manufacturing and energy. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The global digital twin market is experiencing significant growth, propelled by the widespread adoption of digitalization in the manufacturing sector. Manufacturing entities worldwide are strategically investing in digitalization initiatives to enhance operational efficiency, productivity, and precision. Solutions such as digital twins play a pivotal role in this transformation, contributing to heightened responsiveness and agility among manufacturers in adapting to changing customer demands and market conditions. A study by InfinityQS indicates that more than 52% of manufacturers are actively channeling investments into digital transformation technologies, thereby boosting the demand for digital twin solutions. 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.

Technological advancement is a prominent trend gaining traction in the digital twin market. Leading companies in this sector are focusing on developing new technological solutions to enhance their presence in the digital twin space. For example, in February 2022, Once Concern, a US-based provider of resilience-as-a-service solutions, introduced Domino, a high-resolution digital twin solution designed to detect abnormal changes in complex networks and ecosystems, such as power grids, transportation networks, and communities. Additionally, in March 2023, Holcim Group, a Switzerland-based manufacturer of building materials, unveiled the world's first digital twin of a cement plant, creating a real-time 3D virtual model of its Swiss facility. This digital twin integrates enterprise software and performance prediction algorithms to facilitate faster, more efficient operations while reducing costs. Equipped with sensors, data analytics, and machine learning, it aids in preventing downtime and enables predictive maintenance.

A significant trend gaining traction in the digital twin market is the application of digital twins for the metaverse.
