A simulator is a programme or machine that creates a virtual version of a real-life situation for the purpose of instruction or experimentation. Simulators are frequently used to train people in difficult and often dangerous tasks such as surgery or flying an airplane. Simulators allow them to practice and learn such tasks without risk. The simulators market is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period. Furthermore, factors such as the rising use of virtual pilot training to ensure aviation safety and the development of simulators for air accident investigations are also expanding the market.
Simulator Market Dynamics
Driver:
Growing awareness of virtual training and simulation drives the simulator market. The simulator is used in various fields such as civil aviation, military, e-learning, gaming, digital manufacturing, and healthcare. Benefits such as ease of handling and understanding, providing a virtual environment as close to a real one, and increasing training efficiency are driving the simulator market growth.
Restraints:
A full flight simulator has a nearly 25-year average lifecycle. This lifecycle, however, can be easily extended through software and hardware upgrades. Simulator software is upgraded and modified as civil and military aircraft are updated to provide a more realistic training experience. The major factor limiting market growth is the periodic modification of simulator systems to extend their lifecycle.
Opportunity:
The growing demand for unmanned systems for defense and commercial applications is expected to provide more opportunity for simulators. Companies like AEgis Technologies Group and Havelsan Inc. are developing highly sophisticated unmanned simulators. These simulators are independent of hardware configurations and can simulate any unmanned aerial system (UAS) with any sensor operator and payload suite. These simulators can generate a virtual battlefield in real-time, allowing for first-person training, basic payload and flight operations, mission rehearsal, and mission planning.
COVID-19 Analysis of Simulator Market
The coronavirus pandemic has aided the growth of operator training simulators as there is an increasing adoption of high-end technology by businesses. The outbreak has hampered the operational activities of several industry players, but also encouraged them to deploy smart technologies that help industries improve the efficiency of their facilities. Many participants are utilizing operating training simulators to instruct their employees with necessary skills, reducing the chances of damaging the equipment while performing regular tasks. Moreover, the incorporation of cloud technology, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and augmented reality in simulator software has fueled market demand. Most key players in the simulator market such as Lockheed Market Corporation, Reytheon Technologies has declared that business has largely resumed to normality but have also acknowledged the serious impact of Covid.
