Hello!
We thought you'd be interested in a bit of research we've been doing this week on the projected market size of virtual production over the next 8 years. Now, when we say "we've been doing the research", what we mean is that we've been researching the researchers.
And... when I say "we've been researching the researchers".. what I mean is that we asked ChatGPT to do it for us... for research purposes... obviously...
Anyway, generally the CAGR (the annual growth) is around 16% (between 13-18%) so the current market size of USD$3bn is predicted to jump to between USD$9.85 and USD$12.9bn.
While the Film & Video, Gaming and Advertising Markets are way bigger, the graph below compares them as relative growth.
Now, we are not saying this is a fact, or even a predication as we just asked ChatGPT and I'm sure it's not infallible (so don't invest time or money on this data), however, it does feel positive in the very least.
On with the links!
Cheers,
Rob and the Team
