COVID 19 Analysis

All the elements of the technology sector are experiencing the impact of the COVID 19 pandemic. As per the trends and stats, global ICT spending experienced a decline by 4-5% during the pandemic year of 2020. The hardware business is one such industry vertical that is likely to have the most impact in comparison to others belonging to the IT industry. Due to the lockdown, there is a slow growth of the hardware supply as the manufacturing capacity has been hampered. Even though the pandemic has been prevailing for a short time, there has been a drastic change in the consumer preference and demand pattern. The business that helps in providing services related to the software tools dealing and expertise is also experiencing a slowdown since the pandemic has struck and majorly affected the global market operations. The economies and societies are facing functional issues on a large scale and this is hampering their ability to meet customer demands. This is also targeting the credibility of the market players across the globe.

However, the key market players are on the way to cover the losses and generate better demand and sale prospects during the ongoing forecast period of 2017-2023. The companies are targeting the audience for wide adoption of various kinds of collaborative applications, security solutions, use of artificial intelligence, alongside analytics during the forecast period that ends in 2023.

Market Dynamics

Drivers

In the historic years, when the technology availability was less, capturing 3D images and data was a very difficult task as there was the unavailability of proper tools, systems, and technology. An increase in 3D technology viewing will help the rising popularity of 3D content generation has positive attributes for the global 3D Mapping and 3D Modelling Market. This generation has led to a wide discovery of 3D mapping technologies and with its support, the 3D content in the surrounding places can be well mapped. Also, technology is digging its way and reaching mobile devices like tablets and smartphones. However, in the earlier times, mapping was limited and could be used for a 2D plane that is atlas maps and online 2D maps only. 3D scanners and sensors alongside the other acquisition devices, are boosting the capturing ability of 3D data and further, help in the wide use of 3D laser scanning technology to ensure accuracy in a short period.

Restraints

There have been a lot of technological advancements in the recent scenario. However, to make HD quality of 3D content available to the user, there is a wide need to enhance the user experience. If the companies aim for this, there are additional expenditures and costs required that will help in capturing data from the acquisition devices by making use of devices like lasers and scanners. Also, this acts as an addition to the overall technology. Further, On Services conducted a survey that predicts that the average projection of the mapping services costs likely around USD 10,000 per minute for a video portraying 3D video content. Also, there are costs related to the video development time as well. Also, there are additional expenditures related to using projectors, media servers, and hard drivers. The increasing cost might present various restraints to the 3D Mapping and 3D Modelling Market on the oath of its global growth.
