Volumetric Video Market Global Outlook & Forecast Report 2025-2030, with Profiles of Microsoft, Intel, 8i, Unity Technologies, Meta, Canon, Mantis Vision, Raytrix, Voxon & more - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Volumetric Video Market - Global Outlook & Forecast 2025-2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Volumetric Video Market was valued at USD 2.55 Billion in 2024, and is projected to reach USD 10.29 Billion by 2030, rising at a CAGR of 26.18%.

Volumetric video represents a paradigm shift in digital content, enabling three-dimensional capture of people, objects, and environments. Unlike traditional videos, it allows users to interact with content from 360-degree perspectives, offering deeply immersive, lifelike experiences. The demand for such realism is being accelerated by consumers' growing appetite for interactive media and spatial computing.

Despite the high cost and lack of standardization in 3D content creation, the volumetric video market is gaining strong momentum due to several pivotal developments:

• Technological Advancements: Innovations in 3D capture, including high-definition cameras, LiDAR sensors, and multi-view photogrammetry - are enhancing video quality and reducing production complexity.
• Powerful Infrastructure: The rising availability of high-performance GPUs, edge computing, and cloud-based storage solutions is solving the massive data demands of volumetric content.
• Strategic Investments: In 2024, Gracia AI invested USD 1.2 million into next-gen volumetric video tools tailored for spatial computing, highlighting growing investor confidence.

Furthermore, major tech companies such as Meta, Microsoft, and Apple among others are gradually investing in AR/VR technologies which shows the growing need for immersive experiences in digital space. In 2023, Apple also introduced its Vision Pro headset during the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) which was released globally in 2024 and includes multiple cameras to enable mixed reality, eye and hand tracking for interaction. Thus, the expanding innovations in AR and VR technology are significantly contributing to the volumetric video market growth.

VOLUMETRIC VIDEO MARKET TRENDS & DRIVERS

Sports & Entertainment Industry

Live sports streaming has transformed how audiences consume sports content. Platforms like ESPN+, DAZN, and Amazon Prime have capitalized on this trend, showcasing significant user engagement. For instance, DAZN became Europe's leading digital sports broadcaster in 2023, with a subscriber base of 15 million. This trend is amplifying the demand within the volumetric video market.

Generative AI Enhancements

Generative AI is significantly increasing the realism of volumetric videos, enhancing their lifelike quality. By refining 3D capabilities and improving video resolution, AI technology is minimizing manual postproduction efforts, allowing for faster and cost-effective content creation.

Advancements in 3D Capture & Displays

Developments in affordable 3D cameras and sensors are propelling market growth across sectors like entertainment, education, and healthcare. Companies are investing in technologies such as LiDAR and multi-camera systems to enhance 3D capture efficiency. Gracia AI, for instance, employs Gaussian splatting techniques for enhanced viewing experiences on devices like Meta Quest headsets.

Gaming & E-Sports Revolution

The gaming industry is leveraging volumetric video for character animation and immersive world-building. Arcturus's 2024 update to its HoloSuite software exemplifies this, enabling real-time volumetric video integration in gaming environments.

VOLUMETRIC VIDEO MARKET GEOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS

North America holds the largest share of the global volumetric video market, accounting for over 35% in 2024. The growth is inspired by the growing adoption of immersive media by brands across the region in advertising to create interactive and 3D advertisements. This is especially prominent in the retail sector, where consumers can engage with virtual product demonstrations via holographic displays or AR experiences on their smartphones.

Furthermore, Europe is the second-largest volumetric video market and is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 25% during the forecast period. The film industry particularly in the UK and Germany is incorporating volumetric content into high-end TV series and movies. Studios are using volumetric capture to create immersive special effects and 3D environments. The UK film industry is increasingly adopting 3D video technology for both feature films and virtual reality projects. For instance, in 2024, WPP plc, a UK-based advertising company introduced an AI-powered production studio which is developed with the help of NVIDIA Omniverse to create 3D products throughout the production lifecycle.

APAC is projected to witness the fastest CAGR in the global volumetric video market during the forecast period. Countries, such as China, Japan, and Australia are investing in the establishment of volumetric content studios to support the local entertainment and advertising sectors. For instance, in 2023, NantStudios developed the largest permanent LED volume at Docklands Studios in Melbourne, Australia. Moreover, governments in countries, such as China and Japan are actively supporting the development of immersive technologies, including 3D video, through funding and technology initiatives.

Moreover, the market in Latin America, and Middle East & Africa, has a low market share but has a huge impact on the volumetric video market because of the rising adoption of this technology across the gaming sector. Brazil is one of the largest gaming markets in the world which is continuously adopting 3D technology to encourage user engagement, thereby supporting the volumetric video market growth.
