3D Animation Market Outlook (2023-2033)

The 3D animation market is an important part of the global animation market, this market was estimated to have held a value of US$ 18,891.2 Mn in 2022, this market is predicted to grow to US$ 21,123.9 Mn in 2023 and with a CAGR of 11.9%, it is estimated that the market will reach a value of US$ 65,067.3 Mn by 2033.

The three dimensional animation is the technique of bringing life to the digital objects by giving them the impression that they are moving in the 3-D plane. Such computer-generated things appear on 2-D computer screen but are designed with the purpose to imitate the principles of a 3-D world like they seem to move, turn and rotate in the same way like the objects do.

3D animation technology had been widely adopted in the recent years owing to the widespread adoption of the visual effects & 3D animation coupled with the introduction of VR, AI & AR and so on. 3D animators use artificial intelligence & natural language processing with a cognitive modelling approach to enhance and virtualize the graphics process for controlling simulation & customer experience in 3D videogames. Furthermore, increasing interests in watching animated movies in virtual reality is expected to positively impact the 3D animation market.

The market in North America held a leading market share of 24.5% in 2022 and this was followed by South Asia and Pacific, with a market share of 21.3% for the year 2022.
