North America to hold the largest share in digital twin market during the forecast period

The North America holds the largest share in the digital twin market. In recent years, the development of various software and deployment of automation solutions in the manufacturing industries has improved production lines and downstream operations. These developments have positively impacted the growth of the market in North America due to the high economic growth and a large presence of vendors offering digital twins. Moreover, the increased R&D in the field of the IoT and IIoT and increasing demand for efficient and cost-effective technologies for product manufacturing are also supporting the regional market growth.

Digital Twin Market in APAC to witness higher CAGR during the forecast period

The market in APAC has been divided into India, China, Japan, and Rest of APAC. The market in APAC is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period. China has a high potential for creating digital transformation in the manufacturing industries. The dense population, growing per capita income with large-scale industrialization and urbanization, and increasing adoption of IoT are the factors driving the growth of the digital twin market in the region. China’s rapid response to the pandemic allowed citizens to return to work (and normalcy) relatively faster as compared to other countries. One survey showed that almost half of the Chinese consumers expect the economy to rebound quickly and their routines to return to normal within the next 2 to 3 months. In APAC, other countries such as Japan, India, and South Korea are also affected severely, which has resulted in a significant downfall in the growth of the digital twin market in APAC. The market is expected to attain normalcy within a period of 1.5 to 2.5 years.
