Significant 3D & 4D Technology Market Dynamics and Growth Factors:

Drivers: Growing demand for 3D and 4D technologies in the entertainment industry
In the entertainment industry, realistic movies with 3D and 4D dynamic pictures and interactive effects are very popular. With new developments in 3D animation and the rise of computer-based graphics, 3D has become the standard technique for special effects. In recent years, 3D animation in movies has become more popular than physical effects and hand-drawn animation in movies. Visual effects (VFX) are also widely used in movies to create more realistic environments. 4D technology is also increasingly being used in movies to provide an immersive multi-sensory movie experience.

According to the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) (USA), all 2D and 3D films worldwide grossed $41.8 billion and $42.2 billion in each region in 2018 and 2019, respectively. Worldwide 3D box office revenues were 16% and 15% respectively during the same period (or $6.8 billion and $6.5 billion, respectively). In 2020, there was a 1% decline due to the COVID-19 pandemic; however, from 2021 onwards, the market is expected to witness growth due to less stringent regulations related to the lockdown. Furthermore, more than 73,314 digital 3D screens were recorded in Asia Pacific in 2019. The increase in the number of digital 3D screens demonstrates the growing use of 3D technology in entertainment.

Hence, the growing demand for 3D and 4D technologies in the entertainment industry is one of the key drivers for the market growth.

Restraint: High maintenance costs for 3D and 4D imaging equipment
3D and 4D imaging devices, such as 3D and 4D sensors and cameras, are sensitive to dust, particles, impurities and vibrations. Slight disturbances can significantly affect image quality. Therefore, these devices require special care. The cost of 3D and 4D imaging depends on the size and complexity of the scanned 3D or 4D image, as well as the overall size and geometry of the equipment purchased.

In the consumer electronics industry, 3D and 4D image sensors are protected from dust and shock in robust, compact packages. Manufacturers need to spend money packaging equipment, which adds to the overall cost. On the other hand, high-end 3D and 4D image sensors such as medical imaging sensors have a limited lifetime. Expenses incurred for frequent maintenance or replacement can deter potential buyers.

The impact of this limitation, along with frequent advancements and upgrades, may lead to a decline in the adoption of 3D and 4D hardware.
