January 2024 | Report Format: Electronic (PDF)

3D Animation Market Growth & Trends

The global 3D animation market size was valued at USD 51.03 billion in 2030 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.3% from 2023 to 2030. The rising demand of consumers for realistic and appealing content has made the public embrace 3D animation technology, leading to increased demand for technology. The growing acceptance of technology for visual effects in movies and the increasing demand for high-quality animation by customers drive the global market.

The adoption of 3D animation technology, also known as Computer Generated Imagery (CGI), significantly increased in the media and entertainment industry, owning to the deployment of Visual Effects (VFX) by animators, movie makers, and game player developers. Various technological advancements are driving the market, so technological advancements in the television and communication industries are the key driver for global market growth. Key driving factors for the increase in the animation market are- emphasis on quality HD videos, technology, and multiple usages of 3D animation.

The combination of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and 3D animation technology has made the process of stimulation quick and effortless. Many technology companies partner with Artificial Intelligence technology providers to simplify their simulation tasks and improve the overall working of several functions. For instance, in November 2020, the acquisition of software company Spacemaker, a provider of cloud-based AI software, by Autodesk, Inc. has allowed the company to accelerate the process of designing, planning, and developing infrastructure and town planning. This way, companies are coming forward and, with the help of emerging technologies making business more accessible. Many tech giants have already started integrating 3D technologies and AI support into their companies.
