Future and Growth of Virtual Production Market by 2030
Virtual Production Industry
Overview
The global virtual production market size was estimated at
USD 2.11 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.6% from 2024
to 2030.
Virtual production enables filmmakers to interactively
visualize and explore digital scenes, such as realistic virtual characters,
three-dimensional graphics, and a real-time virtual interactive background
environment within the studio. Vast developments in the field of virtual
production over the years have led to the introduction of solutions that allow
filmmakers to transfer the motion-captured movement of an actor to virtual
characters, which are then previewed in real-time, in combination with
live-action footage and virtual set extension elements. Such solutions help filmmakers
plan and communicate their creative ideas in new and more intuitive ways. The
increasing demand for visual effects (VFX) in movie production studios
worldwide and rising application scope of virtual production in commercial ads
are likely to drive market growth.

and growth of the Virtual Production Market
During the pandemic in 2020, prominent Hollywood filmmakers,
including NBC, MTV, and ABC, began adopting Virtual Production using
cloudbusting, which involved using a robotic camera like the Solo Cinebot, to
shoot the actors remotely. The increased adoption of LED video wall technology
is augmenting the implementation of virtual production across the media and
entertainment sectors. LED video walls display computer-generated graphics in
the background and enable filmmakers to capture visual effects in real time.
The LED video wall technology has substituted a green screen, making film
production more accessible after the break of COVID-19. For instance, in April
2020, ABC's show SkyLine filmed all their real-life scenes in a 360-degree
camera and displayed them on the LED screen instead of the green screen. LED
video wall screens create a realistic background visual that replaces an actual
shoot location while saving the entire crew time and money.
For instance, The Mandalorian TV series has extensively used
semicircular LED video walls for the in-house shoot and virtual production
technology for overall production, eliminating the need for on-location shoots.
Disney used LED walls of dimensions 20 feet high, 75 feet wide, and 270
degrees, which made it possible to present the movement of the 3D image concerning
the camera's movement. The rising popularity of web series containing visual
effects and three-dimensional graphic environments encourages video-makers to
implement virtual production technology in their video content. Popular web and
television series, such as Games of Thrones, The Last Kingdom, Black Mirror,
and Outlander, have extensively implemented visual graphics to create epic and
historical scenes. VFX helps produce high-quality video content with realistic
graphic characters and artificial scenes that enrich the viewing experience.
Moreover, virtual production technology helps reduce video
production costs by eliminating the need to shoot at expensive sites and
bringing pre-visualization (a part of the pre-production process) on set. Pre-visualization
creates a first three-dimensional representation of the final visual effects
action sequence to help movie-makers plan out camera placement and other
creative/technical requirements. For instance, in April 2022, HTC VIVE, a
computer and electronics manufacturing company, released a virtual production
technology named VIVE Mars CamTrack. It accelerates, simplifies, and lowers the
cost of virtual production software by combining the complete camera tracking
workflow into a small plug-and-play module with professional-grade
functionality.
