According to a recent study from market research firm Global Market Insights, the digital twin market is set to grow from its current market value of more than $4 billion to over $35 billion by 2026, gaining remarkable traction over the 2020 to 2026 period.
With ongoing developments in the field of technological innovation, the digital twin market is slated to record a period of lucrative revenue growth. Digital twins are essentially virtual replicas of actual devices that IT professionals and data scientists use to conduct simulations to test equipment before deploying the actual devices and bringing them online. Today, digital twins are transforming how new technologies like analytics, IoT, and AI are optimized.
The more a digital twin duplicates the actual device, the more likely efficiencies and other benefits can be discovered. For instance, in terms of manufacturing, the more highly instrumented a component is, the more accurately its digital twin could simulate how the actual devices have operated overtime, which can help predict possible failures and future performance capabilities.
The overall digital twin market is bifurcated into different segments such as application, end-use, and regional landscape.
In terms of end-use, the market is categorized into manufacturing, healthcare, automotive, aerospace & defense, energy & utility, infrastructure buildings, retail & consumer goods. Among these, the ongoing digital transformation of the medical industry is likely to drive the healthcare segment share. As a result, digital twins for surgery planning and medical devices are expected to witness an increasing popularity over the forecast period.
Energy & utility segment is expected to register momentous gains over the coming years owing to the rising popularity of the concept throughout the global oil & gas industry. In fact, the segment is projected witness a lucrative growth rate of over 30% through the analysis period.
