What Are The Key Drivers Fueling Growth In The Virtual Production Market?
The increasing need for visual effects in worldwide film production is anticipated to drive the growth of the virtual production market. Visual Effects (VFX), which are image alterations used to create or enhance visuals in motion media not captured during live-action shooting, enable creators to actualize their ideas through virtual production earlier. For instance, a report published in June 2024 by the UK Screen Alliance, a UK trade association, revealed that out of the £4.2 billion ($4.53 billion) distributed through the UK's four film and TV tax incentives, £363.5 million ($392.39 million) (8.5%) is allocated to VFX. Besides, £346.5 million ($374.04 million) is used on VFX in sectors not eligible for tax relief such as advertising. In total, VFX adds £1.6 billion ($1.72 billion) to the UK's annual gross value added (GVA). Thus, the escalating demand for visual effects in film production is expected to catalyze the virtual production market.
