By segment, volumetric video industry for Sports, events, & entertainment applications to hold the highest market share during the forecast period.

In sports, volumetric videos can give fans a unique perspective of the action, making them feel like they are part of the game. One of the most prominent examples of volumetric video in sports is Intel's partnership with the National Football League (NFL). Intel's True View technology captures volumetric video footage of every play during NFL games, providing fans with 360-degree views of the action. This technology has been used in the Super Bowl and is being rolled out to more stadiums across the US.

By region, volumetric video industry in US for North America to hold the highest market share during the forecast period.

The US is home to major players in the ecosystem of the volumetric video industry, such as Intel Corporation, Microsoft, Facebook, and Google. In recent decades, medical imaging capabilities have progressed in the US owing to favorable government regulations and support from the National Science and Technology Council (US). The federal government invests in medical imaging research and plays a vital role in developing and deploying imaging technologies that would help enhance life expectancy and improve the quality of life of people, open new areas of scientific discovery, and ensure that the country remains a global leader in medical innovation. Holography and volumetric videos are emerging technologies, revolutionizing the medical vertical by serving as tools for visualizing patient data in training students and surgeons. Existing imaging systems such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound scanners generate complex data using advanced imaging technology. However, visualizing the images obtained from these devices needs more depth cues. Volumetric videos have the potential to transform radiology and make it genuinely virtual.

The volumetric video industry includes significant Tier I and II players like Microsoft Corporation(US), Intel Corporation (US), Unity Technologies (US), Alphabet Inc. (US), Sony Corporation (Japan), and others. These players have a strong market presence for volumetric video across various countries in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and RoW.
