The digital twin technology market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $16.28 billion in 2024 to $22.51 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 38.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the proliferation of big data, implementation of smart manufacturing techniques, growth in IoT and cloud-based platforms, and increased digital transformation.
The digital twin technology market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $78.9 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 36.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing adoption of IoT devices, rising cyber-attacks, increasing popularity of autonomous and connected vehicles, rising demand for remote monitoring, and increasing investment in smart cities. Major trends in the forecast period include technology advancements, 3D modeling and scanning, adoption of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), cloud-based platforms, and integration with IoT.
The growing use of IoT devices is anticipated to accelerate the expansion of the digital twin technology market in the near future. IoT (Internet of Things) devices are specialized hardware components, such as sensors, actuators, and appliances, that wirelessly connect to networks to collect, exchange, and process data. The demand for IoT devices is rising due to improvements in connectivity, digital transformation, convenience, efficiency, safety, and security. These devices gather real-time data on various factors, including temperature, pressure, and usage patterns, which digital twins use to create virtual models. By continuously streaming data, digital twins enable real-time monitoring, helping businesses optimize operations and identify potential issues ahead of time. For example, a report from the Health Sector Cybersecurity Coordination Center (HC3) in August 2022, part of the US Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Cybersecurity Program, stated that around 7 billion devices were connected through IoT in 2022. Projections show significant growth, with an estimated 20 billion additional devices expected to utilize this technology by 2025. Consequently, the growing adoption of IoT devices is fueling the growth of the digital twin technology market.
Key players in the digital twin technology market are concentrating on the development of next-generation technological solutions, such as AI-enabled digital twin platforms, to digitize and analyze critical infrastructure assets. AI-enabled digital twin platforms integrate artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities into the creation and management of digital twins, enhancing their functionalities. For instance, Looq AI, a US-based software company, introduced its AI-enabled digital twin technology, the Looq platform, in March 2024. This platform serves as a comprehensive solution for surveyors, engineers, contractors, and asset owners to digitally map infrastructure assets with survey-grade precision in minutes. The Looq platform, driven by a handheld 'Q' camera, combines high-resolution cameras, survey-grade GPS, and an AI processor to provide extensive coverage and quick data gathering capabilities. This platform offers an end-to-end workflow for project teams to engage with digital twins and AI-derived data for engineering, surveying, analysis, and coordination purposes.
In October 2023, Clockworks Analytics, a US-based SaaS startup specializing in building operating system monitoring, acquired digital twin assets from Animated Insights for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition aims to enhance Clockworks Analytics' capabilities in the digital twin domain, particularly in 3D digital twin visualization and device monitoring technology, thereby consolidating its position as a comprehensive provider of digital twin solutions for the built environment. Animated Insights, based in the US, is known for its digital twin technology offerings.
