Starting from intriguing backgrounds to the real-like animation characters, to giving life to compelling stories, VFX has travelled a long path. Hence it is estimated that the global VFX software market size will reach $1.44 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 12.7 percent (as per a recent report by Allied Market Research). Yet another report by EMR says that the year 2020 valued the VFX industry globally at $26.64 billion and expected to reach $49.83 by 2026 growing at a CAGR of 11 percent. So how is India doing among the nations contributing to this growth? The VFX and post-production industry across India was estimated to worth nearly $147 billion by 2024 (Statistica).
