India Virtual Production Market Trends:

Growing Adoption of Virtual Sets and Real-Time Rendering Technology

One of the key trends driving the India virtual production market is the growing adoption of virtual sets and real-time rendering technologies. Virtual production enables filmmakers to create immersive and interactive environments by leveraging advanced digital technologies such as Unreal Engine, LED walls, and motion capture. It has developed strongly in India's television and film-making industries since it provides creative freedom and cost-effectiveness over the conventional approach. With virtual sets, producers are able to create complicated scenes without spending time and money traveling to different locations or creating extensive physical sets, hence shortening production time and expenditure. Real-time rendering also improves the process, allowing directors and crews to see scenes live while shooting, instead of in post-production. It is especially welcoming for the fast-emerging OTT and digital content markets, where high-end, visually rich content is needed. For example, Mahindra’s Thar campaign (2023) employed virtual production to transport audiences on an exhilarating journey across deserts and mountains while remaining comfortably in a studio. This combination of physical and digital was a particularly intriguing advertisement, and no one ever imagined that a significant portion of it was not filmed on site. The continuous development of these technologies is likely to drive the market growth in India.

Rise in Demand for Virtual Production in the OTT and Web Series Industry

The virtual production market in India is also witnessing increased demand from the web series and OTT sector. As the streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+ Hotstar continue to expand rapidly, the demand for quality content is on the rise to fulfill consumer needs. According to industry reports, the Indian subscription video on demand (SVOD) sector is expected to expand at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.1%, reaching a USD 2.77 Billion market by 2027. Virtual production is an effective method of generating visually appealing, high-production-value content at a lower price and reduced turnaround time. This is particularly useful for web series, which tend to have many episodes that involve complex visual effects. Virtual sets and real-time technology allow directors to be as creative as possible, creating settings that would be impractical or too costly to execute using conventional means. With the need for unique and visually appealing content still on the increase, more OTT platforms are implementing virtual production methods. According to the IMARC Group, the India over the top (OTT) market size reached USD 4.5 Billion in 2024 and is further expected to reach USD 27.2 Billion by 2033. This trend is set to expand, as studios and production houses look for new means of addressing the competitive, fast-moving OTT content space in India.
