3D Motion Capture Demand to Remain Strong among Gaming and Film Production & Advertising Professionals
Reading Time: 3 minutes
The approximately US$ 200 million market for 3D motion capture technology is set to witness strong growth over the forthcoming years. Up from the revenues attained in 2018, the 3D motion capture market is likely to see more than 13% Y-o-Y growth in 2019. As depicted in a new study, over 40% of overall demand for 3D motion capture will be accounted by hardware, followed by software.
While increasing availability of low-cost 3D motion capture systems with limited free accessible software is likely to further push demand for 3D motion capture software in the market, the report also points to robust growth outlook for 3D motion capture technology services in forthcoming years. Driven by high-accuracy delivery, sales of optical 3D capture systems will remain dominant over non-optical 3D motion capture systems, according to the study.
Media & Entertainment Generates 1/5th of Total Demand
3D motion capture systems offer easier real-time implementation of the captured data for further creating and animating multiple models and characters. As a result, the application of 3D motion capture technology in the media and entertainment industry accounts for an approximate share of over 20% in the total revenues. The report opines that film production, advertising, and gaming are emerging as the most profitable applications of 3D motion capture, and hold a sizable share of almost 70% in the market value contribution of the media and entertainment industry.
Further, 3D motion capture technology also continues to find prominent application in the medical industry and biomedical research, particularly, in research in the fields of psychology, neurology, rehabilitation, and posture analysis. While adoption of 3D motion capture technology will also prevail at a high pace in the industrial and engineering design areas, the report suggests that adoption will be particularly high for military training applications.
Unlike other frame-by-frame animation methods, the 3D motion capture technology is associated with a thorough interpretation of the actor’s movements, at considerably reduced costs. The data volume generated by the 3D motion capture process is significantly large when compared to other animation technologies, which facilitates the generation of effective animations – especially for film producers and game developers for the procurement of the efficient 3D motion capture equipment.
However, 3D motion capture technology can only be used to record and animate motion that follows the laws of physics. Moreover, 3D motion capture systems require specific space dimensions, which vary as per the magnetic interference and the angle of the camera. For small-sized production companies, the heavy equipment costs, along with the added cost of professionals required for efficient operations, constitute a major challenge. According to analysis, this is a significant factor likely to restrict the growth of 3D motion capture market during the forecast period.
Media & Entertainment Industry’s Headway in Asian Economies to Favor Market
Advancements in the media and entertainment industry have revolutionized the adoption of 3D motion capture components in various developed as well as developing regions. To keep up with the growing demand for efficient animation equipment in the South Asia, East Asia, and MEA regions, several 3D motion capture platform providers have started investing heavily in these regions. Established as well as growing 3D motion capture platform providers are highly likely to remain focused on business expansion across untapped developing countries.
Moreover, 3D motion capture system vendors are offering 3D motion capture equipment that has the ability to track complete three-dimensional measurements via a single camera. Such 3D motion capture equipment offers extreme accuracy and is capable of detecting ankle, knee, and hip rotations in all three planes. These 3D motion capture systems are being used in kinesiology research and biomechanics to enhance performance in athletes, determine the source of balance issues in chemotherapy patients, and identify risks of injury in the workplace.
In line with the technological upgrades within the biomechanical research and medical industries in developing Asian markets, the South Asian and East Asian regions are creating new business models for 3D motion capture platform providers. Some of the key players in 3D motion capture market are also focusing on increasing their market shares through strategic partnerships and joint ventures with regional players. On the other side, some of the key companies are opting for strategic M&A for forming up the global market presence.
The report has profiled some of the prominent companies actively competing in the global 3D motion capture market landscape, including Rokoko, IKINEMA, Tracklab (Organic Motion), Noitom Ltd., OptiTrack (NaturalPoint, Inc.), Codamotion, Motion Analysis, Qualisys AB, PTI Phoenix Technologies Inc., Vicon Motion Systems Ltd, and Xsens.

Revenant XSpark Beat S8UL To Become Champions Of The Pokémon UNITE Winter Tournament, Qualify For Finals In Japan
Hosted by Skyesports, Revenant XSpark cruised through the competition to join GodLike Esports as the Indian representatives in the finals in Japan.
The Pokémon UNITE Winter Tournament 2025 – India, an open-for-all esports competition for the mobile game by The Pokémon Company and executed by Skyesports, has concluded. After an intense round of qualifiers, group stage, and playoffs, Revenant XSpark edged out S8UL Esports in the grand final to emerge as champions.
Revenant XSpark will now join GodLike Esports as the two Indian teams set to represent the region at the Pokémon UNITE Asia Champions League Finals in Japan, scheduled for March 29 and 30.
Revenant XSpark were in red-hot form throughout the Pokémon UNITE Winter Tournament India 2025. They won all three of their group-stage matches before a dominant run through the upper bracket in the playoffs.
During the playoffs, they defeated Elites and Global Esports, before facing off against S8UL in the upper bracket final, where they secured a 2-1 victory. S8UL managed to bounce back with a win in the lower bracket, setting up a much-anticipated rematch in the Grand Finals of the Pokémon UNITE Winter Tournament 2025 – India. However, their hopes of redemption fell short, as Revenant XSpark once again emerged victorious with another 2-1 triumph. The team also pocketed $3,000 of the $10,000 prize pool for placing first.
For Revenant XSpark, this victory marks redemption after a hugely disappointing loss in the Pokémon UNITE ACL India League Finals. The India League, which concluded on Jan. 26, 2025, was the top level of competitive Pokémon UNITE esports in the region, while the Winter Tournament provided an open platform for all players to participate.
Revenant XSpark was among the eight invited teams to the Pokémon UNITE ACL India League 2025. After dominating the group stage and securing a direct spot in the Grand Finals, their championship dreams were shattered as GodLike Esports staged a spectacular run – winning 7 back-to-back series – to claim the title.
The two teams will now carry India’s hopes at the Pokémon UNITE Asia Champions League 2025 Finals in Japan, where they will be among 16 top squads from across the region competing for glory.
