Europe 3D Mapping and Modelling Market

The 3D mapping and modelling market in Europe is expected to grow from US$ 1,241.30 million in 2021 to US$ 3,233.41 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 14.9% from 2021 to 2028.

With the increasing advancement in the processing power of microprocessors, especially for graphical applications, the previous decade witnessed a significant deployment of 3D content. Initially, 3D content was limited to videos. However, the technological advancements in displays and chips have led to the deployment of 3D content in applications, software, and games to deliver an enhanced user experience. Game and software developers are leveraging various 3D mapping and modelling tools to deliver enhanced visual and user experiences for their customers. The expanding need for 3D visualization, acceptance of visual effects technology (VFX) in movies, 3D mobile applications, and 3D gaming, as well as the developing trend of digital marketing, boost the demand for 3D animation. The growing demand for 3D animation software to create 3D animation films is propelling the 3D mapping and modelling market growth.  DreamWorks Animation, The Walt Disney Company, Universal Studios Inc., Warner Bros. Animation, Pixar, and many major media and entertainment companies are using various 3D animation technologies and software, including motion graphics, 3D modelling, visual effects, 3D rendering, and special effects, to produce movies, boosting the market. Further, the COVID-19 pandemic fueled the gaming industry as the masses were confined to their homes, following social distancing and lockdown imposed by the governments, which resulted in an increased number of online gamers. Therefore, game developers, such as Activision Blizzard and Electronic Arts, witnessed greater year-over-year revenues and higher market penetration. Moreover, affordable prices of smartphones and internet, coupled with the enhanced graphic processing power of smartphones, are among the other factors driving the growth of the market. The rising uptake of smartphone devices has also supported the mobile gaming industry, aiding the market.

With new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the Europe 3D mapping and modelling market at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.
