According to a recent Allied Market Research report, the global 3D animation industry garnered $14.08 billion in 2019 and is estimated to reach $33.78 billion by 2026.

The report is titled “3D Animation Market by Component (Solution and Services), Deployment Mode (On-Premise and Cloud), Technology (3D Modelling, Motion Graphics, 3D Rendering, Visual Effects, and Others), Industry Vertical (Education, Media & Entertainment, Healthcare, Construction & Manufacturing, Retail, and Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2019–2026.”

Increase in Visual Effects, Demand for High-Quality Content and More

An increase in the use of visual effects in movies, rise in adoption of cloud for animation, and surge in demand for high-quality content by consumers fuel the growth of the global 3D animation market. Integration of virtual reality  technology for visual effects is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the key players in the animation industry.

Based on geography, the market across North America accounted for more than one-third of the global 3D animation market revenue in 2018. This finding is due to increase in demand for visual effects, which involves the integration of live-action footage in Hollywood.

Here are some upcoming animated movies to keep on your radar:

Connected: Original Animated Comedy From Sony Pictures Animation

Sony Pictures Animation’s Connected is an original animated comedy from director Mike Rianda (Gravity Falls) and producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, The Lego Movie). The animated movie is about an everyday family’s struggle to relate while technology rises up around the world!
When Katie Mitchell (voiced by Abbi Jacobson), a creative outsider, is accepted into the film school of her dreams, her plans to meet “her people” at college are upended when her nature-loving dad Rick (voiced by Danny McBride) determines the whole family should drive Katie to school together and bond as a family one last time.
Katie and Rick are joined by the rest of the family, including Katie’s wildly positive mom Linda (voiced by Maya Rudolph), her quirky little brother Aaron (voiced by Mike Rianda), and the family’s delightfully chubby pug Monchi for the ultimate family road trip. Suddenly, the Mitchells’ plans are interrupted by a tech uprising: all around the world, the electronic devices people love – from phones, to appliances, to an innovative new line of personal robots – decide it’s time to take over. With the help of two friendly malfunctioning robots, the Mitchells will have to get past their problems and work together to save each other and the world!
Watch for this animated comedy, which is scheduled for release on September 18, 2020.
