Visual Effects Market Outlook:
Visual Effects Market size was over USD 25.63 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 57.95 billion by 2035, growing at around 8.5% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2026-2035. In the year 2026, the industry size of visual effects is evaluated at USD 27.59 billion.
New digital technologies including VFX, blend virtual camera systems, 3D assets, and advanced motion capture and performance, with real-time render display technology, are facilitating filmmakers to create interactive digital scenes and breakthrough workflows. VFX has taken center stage in the production of feature films and game cinematics. Virtual production leverages computer graphics (CG) upstream and downstream technologies that allow stakeholders to guide technology to produce the desired creative outcome. Autodesk MotionBuilder is an example of a recently launched character animation tool with Pixar’s Universal Scene Description (USD) plugins.
Cloud-based storage of media is more popular than on-premise systems, owing to the robust security architecture offered by cloud-native platforms. Furthermore, such platforms eliminate the need to store assets on vendor sites, move or duplicate files between different vendors, and facilitate users to maintain sovereignty over assets. In 2022, Sony launched Ci Workflow, which gave production companies total control and visibility of their assets.
