The global 3D motion capture system market size was US$ 145.6 million in 2021. The global 3D motion capture system market is forecast to grow to US$ 282.1 million by 2030, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2030. 

Factors Influencing

• The global 3D motion capture system market is forecast to grow, owing to the constantly growing demand for high-quality motion capture. Moreover, consumer demand for precise, portable, and inexpensive 3D motion capture systems is forecast to offer promising growth opportunities to the market players. 
• Increasing technological advancements in computer vision expertise and growing demand for high-quality 3D animations are forecast to drive the market growth. 
• 3D motion capture devices are time efficient and efficiently provide high-quality 3D CGI characters for television, films, and video games. Thus, the market would grow rapidly. Moreover, the increasing popularity of video games, animated videos, and films are forecast the surge the market growth. 
• The unavailability of high-end processors may hamper the market growth. 

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

During the COVID-19 pandemic, various nations went through complete lockdown for a short period of time. The entertainment industry also halted the activities due to stringent government regulations. Thus, it impacted the entire 3D motion capture system business. The global 3D motion capture system market is forecast to recover rapidly once the economies begin recovering. As a result, the global 3D motion capture system market would grow ultimately. 

Regional Analysis

North America is expected to dominate the global 3D motion capture system market in terms of revenue. The growth of the region is attributed to the increasing popularity of 3D animation in the United States. Moreover, the growing demand for 3D animation from the advertising, health, and sports domain are forecast to surge the market growth.

Moreover, the regional market is forecast to grow because of the contribution of prominent players, such as OptiTrack, Vicon Motion Systems Inc., PhaseSpace Inc., and Motion Analysis Corporation. In addition, surging demand for advanced and efficient technology in the commercial, entertainment, and medical sector would propel the market growth. 

Canada is rapidly growing in the 3D motion capture market. Unisoft indicates that video games are popular among ~71 % of Canadian parents. Moreover, favorable government initiatives to develop international art studios will boost the growth of the regional market.
