3D Modeling Market Dynamics
Driver: Advent of 3D-enabled display devices for a better navigation experience
Advancements in 3D maps are expected to be driven by the increasing need for an HD experience among users. 3D viewing technology has been available in the market for many years, but the quality delivered to the consumer was inadequate. Consumers always need the best viewing experience of perceived 3D images, similar to what objects look like. Innovative technologies have already started setting foot in the market, which gives users a comfortable HD viewing experience. They provide images of objects that look real and have adequate details. 3D mapping and 3D modeling technologies enable users to have real-life experiences of the surrounding buildings and terrain by viewing them through 3D-enabled devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and Personal Computers (PCs). The demand for 3D-enabled devices is expected to increase in the years to come. According to the statistics, the demand for all 3D-enabled devices is predicted to increase due to technological advancements, changing lifestyles, and the rising awareness among people regarding these advanced devices. Moreover, the increasing need for crisp and realistic image visualization, superior 3D effects, and an excellent mapping and navigation experience are driving the 3D mapping and 3D modeling market.
Restraints: Increasing corruption and piracy concerns
The animation industry continues to be exposed to corruption and piracy risks. The software installation of companies is targeted, and pirated copies are sold in the market. Consequently, the industry suffers huge financial losses. To control piracy, companies have developed surveillance and monitoring programs to inhibit the illegal downloading of 3D mapping and modeling software. This, in turn, has encouraged users to use legal digital content. In recent years, government norms and regulatory reforms have been implemented to mitigate piracy threats. However, there is a need to adopt flexible business plans to develop mitigation strategies and undertake proactive measures by forming anti-piracy cells and spreading awareness. For instance, in India, states such as Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra have taken initiatives to spread public awareness against piracy. However, in various countries, the only regulatory policy to prevent piracy is to block sites and impose a penalty on illegal users. According to statistics by DataProt, Software piracy rates worldwide dropped to 37% in 2017, down by 2% from two years earlier.
Opportunity: Integration with IoT and sensor technologies for real-time data collection and visualization
The integration of 3D mapping and modeling solutions with Internet of Things (IoT) and sensor technologies enables real-time data collection and visualization, leading to a host of benefits and applications across various industries. IoT devices and sensors gather real-time data from physical objects, equipment, and environments. These devices can capture a wide range of data, including temperature, humidity, pressure, motion, location, etc. By integrating 3D mapping and modeling solutions with IoT devices, businesses can collect vast amounts of data continuously and in real time. 3D mapping and modeling solutions provide a powerful platform for visualizing complex data from IoT devices. Instead of traditional 2D charts and graphs, 3D visualizations enable users to understand data spatially, identifying patterns, trends, and anomalies more effectively. Businesses gain enhanced situational awareness by combining IoT sensor data with 3D mapping and modeling. For example, in smart cities, sensors can monitor traffic flow, air quality, and waste management, and 3D visualizations allow city administrators to make data-driven decisions to optimize city services. Integrating 3D mapping and modeling solutions with IoT and sensor technologies presents a vast array of applications across industries. By leveraging real-time data visualization and analytics, businesses and organizations can make more informed decisions, optimize processes, improve safety, and unlock new levels of efficiency and innovation. As the IoT ecosystem continues to grow, the demand for such integrated solutions is expected to increase significantly.
Challenge: Stringent government regulations and lack of investments
The lack of capital investment hinders the growth of the 3D mapping and modeling market. Insufficient fund supply restricts R&D activities, training manpower, and purchasing innovative technologies. Investments in adopting the latest technologies ensure the work system efficiency and increase the number of opportunities for the industry. One major reason for low investor attraction is the slow Return on Investment (ROI) in the animation industry. As a result, private investors are reluctant to enter the 3D mapping and modeling market. Regarding government support, countries like the US, China, Taiwan, Singapore, and Japan provide significant development provisions to boost market growth.
