[143 Pages Report] The immersive simulator market is estimated to reach USD 11.44 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 35.13% between 2016 and 2022. The base year considered for the study is 2015 and the forecast period is between 2016 and 2022.
The objective of the report is to provide a detailed analysis of the immersive simulator market based on simulation environment, offering, application, industry, and geography. The report provides detailed information regarding the major factors influencing the growth of the market. The report also gives a detailed overview of the value chain in the immersive simulator market and analyzes the market trends through the Porter's five forces analysis.
Immersive simulator-based emergency services help in improving safety in industrial performance by preventing catastrophes, reducing maintenance costs, and decreasing the release of waste material in the environment, thereby increasing the production throughout. As emergency situations such as oil spills, fire breakout, or any other disaster can occur in a process plant, field operating training is provided to plant operators to prevent or address such situations. The use of immersive simulators for training helps operators to make better decisions in emergency scenarios, ensures more stability, and lowers the risk of accidents and hazardous impact on the environment.
With the growing industry automation and process control, operators may lack the knowledge required to operate a plant safely and proficiently. The process and discrete industries are equipped with different machineries working on different platforms. It would be difficult for a new user to operate those machines. On-field training enables users to interact with the machineries, but immersive simulator training helps prevent untoward incidents and enables users to respond quickly and appropriately in case of emergencies. Simulator technologies are more advanced than on-field training and provide a collaborative training environment. The operators can learn more quickly when they are allowed to work in a fully immersed environment.
The research methodology used to estimate and forecast the immersive simulator market begins with capturing data on key vendor revenue through the secondary research such as BP Energy Outlook 2035, Current Market Outlook 2016–2035 Boeing, International Association of Medical Science Educators (IAMSE), International Energy Agency (IEA), North American Simulation and Gaming Association, Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles (OICA), Simulation Australasia, Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, U.S. Energy Information Administration, press releases, investor relation presentations, and annual reports. The vendor offerings are also taken into consideration to determine the market segmentation. The bottom-up procedure has been employed to arrive at the overall size of the global immersive simulator market from the revenue of key players. After arriving at the overall market size, the total market has been split into several segments and subsegments, which have been verified through primary research by conducting extensive interviews of people holding key positions such as CEOs, VPs, directors, and executives. The market breakdown and data triangulation procedures have been employed to complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all segments and subsegments.
