The “Volumetric Video Market – Global Outlook & Forecast 2025-2030” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The Volumetric Video Market was valued at USD 2.55 Billion in 2024, and is projected to reach USD 10.29 Billion by 2030, rising at a CAGR of 26.18%.
Volumetric video represents a paradigm shift in digital content, enabling three-dimensional capture of people, objects, and environments. Unlike traditional videos, it allows users to interact with content from 360-degree perspectives, offering deeply immersive, lifelike experiences. The demand for such realism is being accelerated by consumers’ growing appetite for interactive media and spatial computing.
Despite the high cost and lack of standardization in 3D content creation, the volumetric video market is gaining strong momentum due to several pivotal developments:
- Technological Advancements: Innovations in 3D capture, including high-definition cameras, LiDAR sensors, and multi-view photogrammetry – are enhancing video quality and reducing production complexity.
- Powerful Infrastructure: The rising availability of high-performance GPUs, edge computing, and cloud-based storage solutions is solving the massive data demands of volumetric content.
- Strategic Investments: In 2024, Gracia AI invested USD 1.2 million into next-gen volumetric video tools tailored for spatial computing, highlighting growing investor confidence.
Furthermore, major tech companies such as Meta, Microsoft, and Apple among others are gradually investing in AR/VR technologies which shows the growing need for immersive experiences in digital space. In 2023, Apple also introduced its Vision Pro headset during the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) which was released globally in 2024 and includes multiple cameras to enable mixed reality, eye and hand tracking for interaction. Thus, the expanding innovations in AR and VR technology are significantly contributing to the volumetric video market growth.
VOLUMETRIC VIDEO MARKET TRENDS & DRIVERS
Sports & Entertainment Industry
Live sports streaming has transformed how audiences consume sports content. Platforms like ESPN+, DAZN, and Amazon Prime have capitalized on this trend, showcasing significant user engagement. For instance, DAZN became Europe’s leading digital sports broadcaster in 2023, with a subscriber base of 15 million. This trend is amplifying the demand within the volumetric video market.
Generative AI Enhancements
Generative AI is significantly increasing the realism of volumetric videos, enhancing their lifelike quality. By refining 3D capabilities and improving video resolution, AI technology is minimizing manual postproduction efforts, allowing for faster and cost-effective content creation.
Advancements in 3D Capture & Displays
Developments in affordable 3D cameras and sensors are propelling market growth across sectors like entertainment, education, and healthcare. Companies are investing in technologies such as LiDAR and multi-camera systems to enhance 3D capture efficiency. Gracia AI, for instance, employs Gaussian splatting techniques for enhanced viewing experiences on devices like Meta Quest headsets.
Gaming & E-Sports Revolution
The gaming industry is leveraging volumetric video for character animation and immersive world-building. Arcturus’s 2024 update to its HoloSuite software exemplifies this, enabling real-time volumetric video integration in gaming environments.
VOLUMETRIC VIDEO MARKET GEOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS
North America holds the largest share of the global volumetric video market, accounting for over 35% in 2024. The growth is inspired by the growing adoption of immersive media by brands across the region in advertising to create interactive and 3D advertisements. This is especially prominent in the retail sector, where consumers can engage with virtual product demonstrations via holographic displays or AR experiences on their smartphones.
Furthermore, Europe is the second-largest volumetric video market and is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 25% during the forecast period. The film industry particularly in the UK and Germany is incorporating volumetric content into high-end TV series and movies. Studios are using volumetric capture to create immersive special effects and 3D environments. The UK film industry is increasingly adopting 3D video technology for both feature films and virtual reality projects. For instance, in 2024, WPP plc, a UK-based advertising company introduced an AI-powered production studio which is developed with the help of NVIDIA Omniverse to create 3D products throughout the production lifecycle.
APAC is projected to witness the fastest CAGR in the global volumetric video market during the forecast period. Countries, such as China, Japan, and Australia are investing in the establishment of volumetric content studios to support the local entertainment and advertising sectors. For instance, in 2023, NantStudios developed the largest permanent LED volume at Docklands Studios in Melbourne, Australia. Moreover, governments in countries, such as China and Japan are actively supporting the development of immersive technologies, including 3D video, through funding and technology initiatives.
Moreover, the market in Latin America, and Middle East & Africa, has a low market share but has a huge impact on the volumetric video market because of the rising adoption of this technology across the gaming sector. Brazil is one of the largest gaming markets in the world which is continuously adopting 3D technology to encourage user engagement, thereby supporting the volumetric video market growth.
VOLUMETRIC VIDEO MARKET VENDOR ANALYSIS
The global volumetric video market is categorized by the presence of numerous established and emerging players such as Microsoft, Intel, Google, Sony, 8i, and 4Dviews, among others. These companies are investing in R&D and strategic advancements to enhance their volumetric video capabilities and expand their product offerings. With the rising adoption of immersive technologies across industries such as entertainment, sports, and advertising, the competition among players in the global volumetric video market is increasing. Key factors driving competition include video quality, real-time rendering capabilities, content personalization, cost-effectiveness, and compatibility with AR or VR applications.
The competition in the global volumetric video market is expected to intensify with rising investments in R&D, product diversification, and mergers and acquisitions. Market players are also expanding their global reach, particularly in emerging markets such as APAC and Latin America, where there is a growing demand for innovative video solutions.

Our top fitness tracker is back to its lowest-ever price for rare Prime Day deal
We’re here with Prime Day 2025 and it feels like a new era. The event is longer, which can make it feel a bit like Black Friday. Another thing making it look like Black Friday? Our top pick among the best fitness trackers — the Fitbit Charge 6 — is back to its rarely-seen Black […]

We’re here with Prime Day 2025 and it feels like a new era. The event is longer, which can make it feel a bit like Black Friday. Another thing making it look like Black Friday? Our top pick among the best fitness trackers — the Fitbit Charge 6 — is back to its rarely-seen Black Friday pricing. Usually $160, you can now get a Fitbit Charge 6 for just $100 if you’re an Amazon Prime member. (If you’re not, and still want to save the $60, you can easily sign up with an Amazon Prime free trial.) Just tap the button below to see the offer for yourself, making sure to make your purchase before Prime Day ends this Friday.
Why you should buy the Fitbit Charge 6
The Fitbit Charge 6 is one of the best Fitbits around and it’s pretty easy to see why. For starters, it has nearly a week of battery life (something even most of the best smartwatches can’t offer you) despite its slender, almost bracelet-like presentation. Its AMOLED screen is bright and colorful, though highly readable. And that’s before we even get to its health-tracking tools and upgraded heart rate sensor, more accurate than those on any other Fitbit made before it. As our Fitbit Charge 6 review highlights, this device is comfortable and powerful, and perhaps far more so than its price tag suggests. Our reviewer said “I often forgot I was wearing the Fitbit Charge 6.” in large part due to comfort, but there’s also the fact that some fitness modes are automatically switched to, such as running and walking, so you don’t have to constantly think about your fitness tracker.
If you want this great deal that cuts $60 off of the Fitbit Charge 6’s price, dropping it to just $100 from $160, be sure to tap the button below and order yours now. It’s a rare deal, only ever coming out around Black Friday previously, so if you ignore this deal now it could be months and months before you see a price like this on the Charge 6 again.

Best Prime Day smartwatch and fitness tracker deals: My 16 favorite sales live now

When is Amazon Prime Day 2025?
Amazon Prime Day takes place from July 8 through July 11 this year. This is when the retailer cuts deals on thousands of products, mostly ones it owns (think Kindle, Ring, and Alexa). To get in on the deals hype, other brands will discount their products during Prime Day to boost overall sales.
Are health trackers really cheaper on Prime Day?
I’ve seen some sweet discounts on health trackers during my time as an editor covering these events. We’ve seen record savings on tech, including Apple Watches and Oura Rings.
Should I buy a smartwatch or a smart ring?
A smartwatch functions as a health tracker and an around-the-wrist companion to your phone. You can answer texts, set timers, ask the smartwatch’s AI assistant questions and more with an Apple Watch, Pixel Watch, Galaxy Watch, or Garmin. It will record your exercise and sleep and deliver that through the smartwatch’s health app, as well as on your phone’s health app. A smart ring is a little different. It doesn’t have a screen, so it won’t distract you throughout the day with pings or messages. All of the data it collects is displayed on your phone. If a smartwatch is a lifestyle wearable with health functionalities, a smart watch is a health-centered wearable.
How did we choose these Prime Day deals?
I cover health wearables for my job, and I’m particular about the products I like and don’t like. If something isn’t worth my while, I’m not writing about it. The same goes for these deals. Our experts looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops.
We also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we’re recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing — in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.

How Global Gambling Trends Influence Local Conversations in Colorado
Like many US states, Colorado is experiencing a gambling shift. After years of total restrictions, locals can legally gamble on licensed sports betting and gaming platforms.

Like many US states, Colorado is experiencing a gambling shift. After years of total restrictions, locals can legally gamble on licensed sports betting and gaming platforms. This initial mitigation, together with tech changes and crypto expansion, ignited the growth of online casinos in the area. Another consequence is a massive discussion in the local gambling community. Let’s see what concerns Coloradans and track future gambling trends in the state and worldwide.
Legal Gambling in Colorado – Where We Stand Today
Colorado was under strict gambling restrictions for many years, although specific games of chance were allowed in the state. The legal services included some Bingo variations, charity games, and local raffles. The 2020 regulation lifted the sports betting ban, which was taken by many as a positive sign of further relaxations.
Today, locals can play at licensed casinos, regulated by the Colorado Division of Gaming, and they mainly choose native houses to place bets. However, the community has been influenced by recent trends in the industry. Coloradans can now explore the benefits and drawbacks of offshore online casinos, mobile betting platforms, social gaming providers, and more. So, there’s a big buzz about gambling in the state.
Online Gambling Trends Around the World
Tech growth is pushing the online casino market into more and more territories worldwide. A popular trend is international casino sites with advanced services and diverse betting options.
The popularisation of iGambling is especially noticeable in Asia. Its highly developed centres like Singapore, Macau, and Hong Kong are now joined by India, Bangladesh, and other countries. Although they tend to keep their gambling laws strict, online casinos, especially with decentralised banking, find their way to local players. Thanks to VPNs and easily accessible crypto payments, Asian players can bypass all the restrictions.
Another trend is the tangible growth of bookmakers in Europe. The European market is expected to welcome about 57 million sports bettors by 2029! Betting is booming due to cultural changes: Today’s youth actively use electronic gadgets and enjoy placing bets on sports competitions. The technology level allows for unprecedented convenience and diversity of interactive entertainment. Both features are the key demands of modern gamblers in Europe.
Which of these trends is provoking discussion in Colorado? Surely, most users keep their eye on the possibilities provided by online casinos outside Colorado’s traditional system. The next part reveals the most alluring options for the state.
Interest in British Platforms Not on GamStop
The GamStop programme launched in the UK provides players worldwide with a noteworthy experience. Many worry about the incidents when players can’t access legal casinos with UKGC licences after they join the system. However, users tend to join casinos not on GamStop, and this is a pretty workable alternative that interests international gamblers. While anticipating changes in the law, Coloradans are also getting involved in discussions about the topic.
Why It Matters in Northern Colorado
Today’s technological boom impacts Colorado, just like everywhere else. Its population is changing by adopting cutting-edge innovation. Younger users are going fully digital. They actively interact on social media and are fond of online entertainment trends. On the other hand, Coloradans have enough knowledge to benefit from such instruments as VPNs, crypto banking, and internationally offered services.
Local conversations are now centred around current gambling regulations in the area. Like other US states, Colorado is in the run-up to a more extended set of available casino services. Gamblers also want effective responsible gambling tools to prevent addiction. So, non-GamStop alternatives and international crypto portals are widely debated in Colorado these days, including interest in platforms like casino ohne OASIS, which offer fewer restrictions for verified users abroad.
Final Thought – Stay Informed, Stay Local
Technological progress and mainstream crypto payments make geographical, cultural, and legislative barriers fall. So, it’s natural for Colorado gamblers to explore global trends in gambling. They are searching for the most convenient casino options, even if they are outside the local area.
It’s important to stay in touch with the state’s gambling community to be aware of all introductions. This is also crucial for sharing experiences. It’s recommended that every user communicate with local organisations and individual gamblers. Thus, they’ll be able to compare their comforts and challenges related to the recent gambling trends.

Guest opinion: Utah’s sky-high tech ambitions are a bet worth making | News, Sports, Jobs
Utah’s Silicon Slopes aren’t the next Silicon Valley. They represent something more distinctive — a canvas with the right values and just enough infrastructure to make it work.

Utah’s Silicon Slopes aren’t the next Silicon Valley. They represent something more distinctive — a canvas with the right values and just enough infrastructure to make it work. That makes it a rare thing in 2025: a state where forward-thinking policy converges with open opportunity. For founders, investors and builders wary of coastal groupthink and compliance traps, Utah stands out as a compelling alternative between California and the Midwest.
Let’s be real, Utah’s not perfect. It doesn’t have a billion-dollar venture fund on every block. You won’t find the density of Stanford grads or the influencer-stacked coworking spaces of New York City. However, what it lacks in polish, it compensates for with something far more valuable: freedom to operate. When it comes to trying new things and innovating, Utah’s default setting is “yes.” There’s no innovation-killing tech tax, no local board micromanaging your product, and no state AI law designed to gut private industry. Instead, entrepreneurs encounter a rare environment — policymakers who actively want them to build.
That shows up everywhere. Utah’s new Office of Artificial Intelligence Policy works with a range of AI companies and has made significant progress in its first year toward advancing innovation in the state. Utah is one of the only places in the country with an office of this kind and a regulatory safe-haven to back it up — offering a safe space for companies to quickly test new tools without getting buried in lawsuits. Meanwhile, job postings seeking candidates with AI skills in Utah have surged over 250% in the past year, showing that the private sector is already responding.
And then there’s the many projects and startups already underway in the state. Through Project Alta, for example,Utah wants air taxis running between SLC and surrounding cities by 2034. Project Gigawatt, a public-private effort to build out nuclear energy that can power AI data centers sustainably through increased production of energy facilities. And let’s not forget the University of Utah’s new Stena Center for Financial Technology, building a talent pipeline for AI, financial technology and crypto industries. Utah isn’t talking about innovation — it’s putting it on the grid, in the air and in the classroom.
Utah’s fundamentals are solid — low taxes, affordable land and a business-friendly government that sees entrepreneurs as assets rather than enemies. This is a state that believes in personal responsibility, lean government and letting people experiment. That mindset is gold for anyone building something new. It’s why companies like Adobe, Qualtrics and Lucid have set up serious operations here — and why others are starting to follow.
Unlike other states, you won’t be the thousandth AI startup fighting for an overpriced co-working desk in Utah. You’ll be one of the first to bring your idea to a market that’s hungry, open and underserved.
Think of it like Austin in 2011, before investment capital flooded in and the traffic backed up. That’s where Utah is now, and it’s already got six-lane highways to handle traffic. The question is — who’s going to get here in time to catch the wave?
