    Market Segment Insights

    Vehicular Simulators

    The global vehicular simulator market by category is segmented into: Motion Simulator (2 DOF, 3 DOF, 6 DOF), Non-Motion Simulator. The Motion Simulator segment dominated the global market in 2024, while the Motion Simulator segment is projected to be the fastest–growing segment during the forecast period. Motion simulators use mechanical platforms to mimic the actions of real vehicles, for example accelerating and braking, and also the surface of the road. 

    They make it possible for users to see how the vehicle performs during quick turns, travel in rough terrain, and when the brakes are used in an emergency. Simulators are common in military, racing, and certain industrial fields since they improve the driver’s reflexes, skills in controlling vehicles, and quick decision-making skills in stressful situations.
