The entertainment industry has quickly adopted the use of VFX or visual effects to create visual enhancements using animation and computer graphics. As a means of representing something that cannot be accomplished in a real-life context and must be simulated by a virtual environment or animation software, VFX is one of the most frequently used terms among animators, game developers, and filmmakers. 3D animation requires software or tools to produce the desired results. The use of camera mapping techniques to create the required visual effects is known as "VFX", a broad term. Here, however, photos are captured and edited using this software and equipment. Additionally, the use of VFX techniques is expanding rapidly, creating new job opportunities for animators and visual effects artists. The adoption of 3D animation techniques in the entertainment sector is primarily driving the growth of the market.

Software for 3D animation is being used more frequently now. Animations and visuals in three dimensions are produced using this software. In movies, video games, and other types of entertainment, it is frequently used.

In 2021, North America accounted for the highest revenue share of the global market. Despite the huge popularity of 3D animation in the form of anime in the country of Japan, the development of animation technology is much stronger than in North America. A select group of key clients such as Fox Studios, Disney, and Nickelodeon are present in the United States, as well as the widespread use of this technology and increased R&D spending by regional industry leaders. Both the establishment of major animation studios in the West and the expansion of 3D animated game production represent tremendous growth for the North America region. Additionally, the use of 3D animation in the healthcare sector to help medical students and professionals acquire medical training is driving the market growth.
