Volumetric video market dynamics

Driver: Increasing use of volumetric video in the entertainment industry

Volumetric video is an advanced technology that captures objects or individuals in three dimensions, resulting in an immersive and interactive viewing experience. Its adoption has been swift within the entertainment industry, as it finds applications in films, gaming, and live events. The growing demand for 3D/360° content in the entertainment sector and the desire for enhanced viewing experiences drive the expansion of the volumetric video market.

Diego Prilusky, the former head of Intel Studios, is a prominent advocate for incorporating volumetric video in filmmaking. Prilusky believes this technology can expedite production schedules and redefine various entertainment forms. Notably, volumetric video has already been utilized in notable projects, including HBO's "Watchmen" and "Westworld," as well as in the creation of digital doubles for "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker." Companies operating in the volumetric video domain, such as Avatar Dimension and Holo-Light, continually push the boundaries of what can be achieved with this technology. For instance, volumetric video enables the creation of immersive experiences for live events like concerts and sports games, enabling viewers to feel fully engaged in the heart of the action.

Restraint: High maintenance cost of equipment and software

Volumetric video technology is a cutting-edge technology used in various fields, including entertainment, education, and healthcare. However, it comes with certain restraints, such as high maintenance, equipment, and software costs. Regarding maintenance costs, software maintenance for volumetric video can cost up to two-thirds of the entire software process cycle or more than 50% of the SDLC processes. Additionally, software maintenance costs can be as high as $5,000 per month or $60,000 per year. It's essential to remember that the prices involved in software maintenance can vary depending on multiple factors.

Opportunity: Growing applications of volumetric video for progressive medical imaging and image-guided surgery

Volumetric video is a technology that captures images in three dimensions (3D) and creates a fully immersive experience for the viewer. Advanced medical imaging involves using cutting-edge technology to generate ideas of the human body that are more detailed and precise than traditional imaging techniques. On the other hand, image-guided surgery uses real-time imaging to guide surgical procedures and enhance their accuracy. The volumetric video has the potential to revolutionize both of these fields by creating 3D models of patients' organs or body parts that can be manipulated and viewed from any angle. This could enable surgeons to plan and carry out procedures more effectively, improving patient outcomes and reducing recovery times.

Challenge: Lack of standardization for 3D content creation

The lack of standardization in 3D content creation is a significant issue because it can lead to compatibility issues between different systems, which can cause errors and additional costs for content creators. For example, a content creator may create a 3D model in one software package that cannot be imported into another, requiring them to recreate the model from scratch. This can be time-consuming and expensive, leading to delays in the production process.   

Volumetric Video Market Ecosystem

The volumetric video market is dominated by established and financially sound manufacturers with extensive experience in the industry. These companies have diversified product portfolios, cutting-edge technologies, and strong global sales and marketing networks. The volumetric video market comprises hardware manufacturers, content creators, system integrators, and content delivery.  Volumetric video end users include sports, events and entertainment, consumer electronics, defense, military, healthcare, education and training, signage, and advertisement.

  • Gathering and analyzing the information related to the revenue generated by players offering volumetric capture hardware equipment
  • Conducting multiple on-field discussions with key opinion leaders across the major companies involved in the development of volumetric capture
  • Estimating the geographic split using secondary sources—based on factors such as the number of players in a specific country as well as region and types of products used in application areas such as medical, sports, events, and entertainment; signage & advertisement; education & training; and others

Volumetric Video Market Size, and Top-Down Approach

Data Triangulation

After arriving at the overall size of the volumetric video market from the market size estimation process explained above, the total market was split into several segments and subsegments. Data triangulation procedures were employed wherever applicable to complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all parts and subsegments. The data was triangulated by studying various factors and trends from both the demand and supply sides. In addition to this, the market size was validated using top-down and bottom-up approaches.

Market Definition

A volumetric video is a technique used to capture and display three-dimensional (3D) video content of real-world objects or people. It aims to provide a more immersive and realistic viewing experience by capturing not only the surface appearance of the subjects but also their depth and volumetric details. Traditionally, video is captured using cameras that record a two-dimensional scene representation. In contrast, volumetric video involves using an array of cameras or specialized sensors to capture multiple viewpoints simultaneously, covering an entire 360-degree field of view. These cameras capture the subject from different angles, allowing for the reconstruction of a 3D representation of the issue.
