Global 3D Modeling for Games and Animation Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032

The global 3D Modeling for Games and Animation market size is expected to reach $ 1702 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 9.1% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).

In 3D computer graphics, 3D modelling is the process of mathematically representing any surface of an object in three dimensions by means of special software. The product is called a 3D model. A person using a 3D model may be called a 3D artist. It can be displayed as a two-dimensional image through a process called 3D rendering, or it can be used in computer simulations of physical phenomena.

3D modelling is used in various industries such as film, animation and gaming, interior design and architecture. They are also used in the medical industry to create interactive representations of anatomy. A large amount of 3D software is also used to construct digital representations of mechanical models or parts before they are actually manufactured.3D modelling is also used in industrial design, where products are modelled in 3D before they are presented. In the media and events industry, 3D modelling is used in stage and set design.

In recent years, the gaming and animation industries have gradually opened up forms of expression beyond two dimensions, and 3D (three-dimensional) visual effects have become a popular demand in the entertainment industry due to their excellent realism and immersive experience. At the same time, more and more scenes and characters in the film and television industry can be constructed with 3D modelling; animation can also be relatively more cost-saving through the 3D form of production, so based on the advantages of all aspects, under this demand, 3D modelling software in the game and animation industry is growing rapidly.

Global key players of 3D modeling for games and animations include DAutodesk, Maxon Computer, Adobe, Foundry, Side Effects Software. The top five players hold a share over 73%. China is the largest market, has a share about 10%. In terms of product type, modeling software is the largest segment, occupied for a share of 81%, and in terms of application, animation has a share about 52 percent.
