The global operator training simulator market size is expected to reach USD 21.90 billion in 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 11.2% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Significant investments made by companies on training and development of site workers and employees are driving the demand for OTS learning platforms globally. The availability of innovative OTS platforms enriched by technologies such as AI and immersive 3D virtual reality is also expected to work well for the market.
The use of simulation solutions traces back to several decades in industries such as airline, military, nuclear power, and energy. Driven by governmental regulations, a major factor encouraging the use of OTS solutions, an increasing number of companies are adopting a variety of simulations to ensure employee safety in unusual and emergencies encountered in real-life scenarios. For instance, Hydrocarbon Process Industries (HPI) have used OTS solutions for over three decades. The use of part-scope analog and digital panel board simulator solutions in these industries has resulted in a notable improvement in accident prevention rates. Therefore, the market conditions are highly conducive as OTS solutions are considered highly important in petrochemical and energy plants.
An operator training simulator is configured at the production site prior to the operations of the plant, which makes training possible for engineers and workers. It is beneficial for workers to enhance work skills and display efficiency with calculated efforts. Industries are increasingly recognizing that offering on-the-job training and upgrading skills of operators can lead to a notable rise in their annual profits. Therefore, industrial units are investing in simulation solutions to enable operators with knowledge upskilling via timely training sessions.
The market is highly fragmented and competitive. The key players operating in the operator training simulator market include Honeywell International, Inc., ABB Group, Andritz AG, Aspen Technologies, Inc., EON Reality Inc., Mynah Technologies LLC, and Siemens AG.
