3D Animation Market by Technology (3D Modeling, Motion Graphics, 3D Rendering, and Visual Effects), Vertical (Media and Entertainment, Healthcare and Lifesciences, Manufacturing), Services, Deployment, and Region - Global Forecast to 2022
[129 Pages Report] The 3D animation market is expected to grow from USD 12,010.0 million in 2017 to USD 21,050.0 million by 2022, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 11.9%. Increasing adoption of visual effects (VFX) in the entertainment industry is one of the crucial factors impacting the 3D animation market. VFX is majorly preferred by animators, game developers, and moviemakers in the scenario where they technically want to depict something that cannot be shot in a live environment. In addition, 3D mapping and 3D laser scanning features to assist professionals in geospatial, geological, geophysical, and mining environments to visualize and map the coordinates is gaining traction. The continuous exposure to corruption and piracy, a low level of proficiency, intense competition, and increasing price sensitivity are some of the challenges for the growth of the market.

Market Dynamics
Market Driver: Growing adoption of visual effects technology in movies
Entertainment industry is rapidly adopting the VFX, which is commonly known as visual effects, for creating visually enhanced imagery with the help of animation and computer graphics. Animators, game developers, and moviemakers prefer VFX in the scenario where they technically want to depict something that cannot be shot in a live environment and that should be simulated in a virtual world or in animation software. In this scenario, 3D animation software or tools play a vital role to depict the required scene that needs to appear real. VFX is a broad term like animation, which majorly uses camera mapping technique of creating visual effects for getting the desired output. A 3D animation software plays a crucial role in this scenario, in which still images are taken and processed using various 3D animation tools. In addition, the adoption rate of VFX technique is growing at a faster pace and offering the new professional opportunities for the animators and visual effect artists. This majorly provides the traction to the use of 3D animation technique in the entertainment industry, thereby driving the overall 3D animation market growth.
3D Animation Market: Research Design

In the service segment, the education and training services segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR in the 3D animation market. There are a number of educational institutions and software training centers worldwide offering full-time training courses, certifications, and seasonal camps for artists, gamers, and animators. This is because there is a huge demand for professional 3D animators, modelers, graphic designers, and gaming developers.
On the basis of technology type, the visual effects segment is expected to grow with the highest CAGR in the 3D animation market. Visualization through visual imagery is one of the most efficient ways to communicate both abstract and concrete ideas. The development of animation has resulted in advanced visualization. It involves integration of actual video footages and artificial imageries to create scenes that look realistic. The Visual Effects (VFX) technology helps in developing creative effects in brand advertisement, logo, and product promotion. Apart from cinema and gaming, VFX is applied in scientific visualization, information visualization, product visualization, systems visualization, visual analytics, and similar other fields.
