Market Growth Factors
The growing demand for high-quality visual content in the entertainment, gaming, advertising, and marketing industries is expected to drive the growth of the 3D animation software market. The gaming end-user segment in the 3D animation software market is expected to witness growth due to the demand for realistic characters, environments, and visual effects. The production of open world multiplayer, virtual reality and augmented reality games has continued to drive the demand for 3D animation software, with the growth of cloud 3D animation tools enabling collaborative game development from anywhere in the world.
Artificial intelligence and ML software are applied to 3D animation software to speed up production, implement workflows that better simulate reality, as well as to automate tasks like rigging and motion capture, and reduce the cost of 3D animation. Examples include MotionGPT from DeepMotion, which generates 3D animated content from text prompts, and Spaceblock's animation pack for Unreal Engine Marketplace, which uses a realistic motion capture technique to generate 3D animated assets. Providers of this technology claim that it helps lower the entry bar of animation, allowing animators working in small studios or working on their own to create high quality work.
These VR and AR technologies being utilized in software for the video game, entertainment, and education markets and the convergence of services using 5G telecommunications to improve user experiences in virtual reality environments such as AT&T and NVIDIA Corp's planned smartphones and tablets offering cloud gaming services for premium gaming experiences will create investment demand for high-end animation packages for training or simulation solutions that create more realistic environments.
