Simulators Market worth $19.35 billion by 2030
DELRAY BEACH, Fla., June 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The simulators market is valued at USD 13.63 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 19.35 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 7.3% from 2025 to 2030 according to a new report by MarketsandMarkets™. The simulators market is rapidly expanding as industries increasingly prioritize immersive, data-driven training and mission preparation tools. From commercial aviation and defense to maritime and emergency response sectors, simulation technologies are now viewed as critical infrastructure rather than auxiliary systems. The growing complexity of operational platforms and limited real-world training opportunities are pushing public and private organizations to invest in high-fidelity, scenario-rich simulators. Download PDF Brochure: Browse in-depth TOC on 'Simulators Market' 230 – Tables80 – Figures250 – Pages Simulators Market Report Scope: Report Coverage Details Market Revenue in 2025 $ 13.63 billion Estimated Value by 2030 $ 19.35 billion Growth Rate Poised to grow at a CAGR of 7.3% Market Size Available for 2020–2030 Forecast Period 2025–2030 Forecast Units Value (USD Million/Billion) Report Coverage Revenue Forecast, Competitive Landscape, Growth Factors, and Trends Segments Covered By platform, solution, application, type, technique, and region Geographies Covered North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of World Key Market Challenge Rising threat environment Key Market Opportunities Adoption of hybrid and unmanned simulators Key Market Drivers Growing demand for adequate training of aircraft pilots By technique, the live simulation segment is projected to account for the largest share during the forecast period. The live simulation segment is projected to dominate the market during the forecast period because live simulation techniques can provide realistic, mission-representative training in dynamic environments, particularly in the defense and emergency response markets. Compared with virtual or constructive simulations based on exclusively digital environments, live simulation involves actual people employing real or surrogate equipment in field settings and, at times, sensor-based tracking and laser engagement systems. It enables students to immerse themselves in real-time, high-stress situations that closely approximate operational environments, such as terrain, weather, comms problems, and tactical maneuvers. The most significant benefit of live simulation is that it can interact with collective and joint-force training. Military units can rehearse combined arms training, interoperability exercises, and high-level engagement sequences in live simulation facilities. This allows for individual skill development, unit cohesiveness, and command responsiveness, which are essential on the battlefield. Additionally, advances in technology like GPS-based tracking, wireless data links, and laser-based combat systems (e.g., Saab's GAMER and Rheinmetall's LEGATUS) have increased the fidelity and safety of live simulation without the use of live rounds. In response to non-military applications, including police, fire, and disaster management, live simulation enhances scenario-based training that enhances decision-making under stress. As countries prioritize operation readiness and safety, the capability of live simulation to provide immersive, adaptive, and scalable training will bolster its position in the international simulator market. By application, the military training segment is projected to account for the largest share during the forecast period. The military training segment is projected to account for the largest share of the global simulator market due to the increased complexity in modern warfare, the necessity to cut training costs and achieve cost-effective training methods, and the increased rate of embracing enhanced technology. Military operations require exposure to next-generation systems, such as unmanned platforms, cyber warfare, and multi-domain operations, driving the need for simulators. These simulators offer a place where soldiers can rehearse on these systems without the complications of live training. The rehearsal is safe and repetitive to enable mastery of intricate activities. Additionally, live exercise training is costly and requires high levels of investment in fuel, maintenance, and wear-on equipment. Simulation training provides a low-cost option, enabling forces to do meaningful training at a fraction of the cost. Advances in technology have also served to enhance the popularity of military simulators. The inclusion of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and artificial intelligence (AI) has created more realistic and immersive training sessions. The technologies enable adaptive learning, through which training simulations can be customized to match an individual's performance, thus improving learning efficiency. Additionally, geopolitical pressures and the imperative of preparedness in various operational environments have led militaries globally to invest heavily in simulation training. This investment prepares personnel for various missions, ranging from conventional conflicts to humanitarian relief. Overall, the intersection of operational needs, economic pragmatism, technological advancements, and strategic imperatives put the military training segment at the head of the simulator market growth curve.
