Full Body Motion Capture Software Market Report 2024

The full body motion capture software market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $24.24 billion in 2023 to $28.19 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.3%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be linked to the greater use of motion capture technology within the film industry, biomechanics, and sports science. This growth is also due to the rising popularity of science fiction films among younger audiences, the increased use of related tools and software, and a growing need for motion capture technology in the medical and healthcare fields.

The full body motion capture software market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $52.35 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.7%. The anticipated growth during the forecast period is driven by advancements in educational methods, the adoption of technology in automotive and manufacturing sectors, and the rise of spatial computing. Additionally, the increasing appeal of virtual reality and augmented reality applications and the growing demand for motion capture technology in sports contribute to this growth. Key trends for the forecast period include the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, technological advancements, the implementation of advanced sensors, integration with robotics, and alignment with game development pipelines and real-time engines.

The anticipated growth of the full-body motion capture software market is expected to be driven by the rising popularity of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) applications. VR offers a fully simulated experience created through computer technology, immersing users in virtual environments with the help of headsets and other sensory equipment. AR, on the other hand, enhances the real world by overlaying digital information, such as images and sounds. This surge in interest in VR and AR is fueled by technological advancements, greater accessibility, and a growing demand for immersive experiences in areas such as gaming, education, and training. Full-body motion capture software enhances these virtual and augmented reality experiences by accurately translating a user’s movements into the digital realm. For example, a report from the Department for Business and Trade in January 2022 projected that spending on AR and VR in the UK would grow annually by 78.3% until 2024, reaching a total expenditure of £62.5 billion ($79.22 billion) by 2030. This trend is a significant factor driving the expansion of the full-body motion capture software market.

Key players in the full-body motion capture software market are focusing on developing cutting-edge solutions, including AI-driven real-time markerless motion capture technologies to improve accuracy and usability. Real-time markerless motion capture technology uses artificial intelligence to track movements without physical markers. For instance, Move AI, a UK-based company specializing in motion capture tools, introduced Move Live in June 2024. This AI-powered real-time markerless solution is designed for use in broadcast, film, mixed reality, and live events, processing data directly on the user’s server rather than on Move AI’s servers. Move Live can simultaneously capture the full-body motion of two actors and stream the data for retargeting in Unreal Engine.

In September 2021, Vicon Motion Systems Ltd, a UK-based firm specializing in motion capture technology, acquired CONTEMPLAS GmbH. This acquisition, whose financial terms were not disclosed, will allow CONTEMPLAS to speed up its growth and introduce new solutions in existing and new markets, while also strengthening Vicon’s position as a top provider of customized motion capture systems. CONTEMPLAS GmbH, based in Germany, is known for its video-based movement analysis and its full-body motion capture software, TEMPLO.

Full-body motion capture software is a technological tool designed to digitally record and analyze the movements of an individual's entire body. This software utilizes sensors, cameras, or other tracking devices positioned on or around the body to capture detailed motion data, which is then converted into digital animations or data points. Typically, full-body motion capture software features capabilities for tracking, recording, and editing motion data, ensuring precise and efficient capture of intricate body movements.

The primary types of full-body motion capture software include optical, inertial, and others. Optical-type software employs cameras and reflective markers to precisely track and record the movement of a person's entire body in real time. This software can be implemented through on-premise or cloud-based solutions for a variety of applications, including education, life sciences, entertainment, and sports. End users of this technology encompass institutions, research institutes, entertainment studios, sports organizations, and more.
