3D mapping in India is the creation of digital, three-dimensional models of real-world environments, cities, or objects using LiDAR, drones, and photogrammetry, mainly for infrastructure and navigation. 3D modeling, on the other hand, is the software process of creating accurate, virtual 3D models of objects using vertices, edges, and polygons, mainly used in construction, animation, and, as in the video, in geography for visualizing real-world physical features. The market for 3D mapping and 3D modeling has grown significantly in recent years, driven by rising demand for 3D animation in smartphone gaming and other applications, and by the video entertainment industry's desire to deliver a better viewing experience. Alongside the gaming and film industries, 3D mapping and modeling are widely used across automotive, healthcare, building and construction, and defence. Because of the efficiency AI brings to 3D maps, AI technology is projected to accelerate the expansion of 3D technology over the forecast period.

The PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan (Gati Shakti NMP) is a revolutionary infrastructure project with an estimated investment of INR 100 trillion. It brings together 16 ministries and major national programs such as Bharatmala and Sagarmala, providing an integrated framework for road transport, railways, ports, waterways, and airports. This plan remedies the shortcomings of the former fragmented paradigm of infrastructure development in India. It is expected that the investment in infrastructure will increase from 5.3% of GDP in fiscal year 2024 to 6.5% in fiscal year 2029, resulting in cumulative spending of US$1.45 trillion over a period of five years, thereby generating robust economic growth.

The India 3D mapping and 3D modeling market is experiencing major innovation brought about by the advancements in LiDAR sensors, AI, powered photogrammetry, drone-based surveying, digital twins, and cloud-based geospatial platforms. These advancements allow the creation of high-resolution 3D environments that are faster, more accurate, and at a lower cost. In India, these technologies are generating robust opportunities in smart cities, urban planning, transportation, construction, utilities, and defense, backed by government initiatives such as Smart Cities Mission, PM Gati Shakti, and Digital India. Increased infrastructure investment, widespread adoption of autonomous surveying drones, and the rising need for precision planning in mega projects are some of the factors that 3D mapping and modeling solutions will see growth in the next few years.

Market Dynamics of the India 3D Mapping and Modeling Market:

The growth of the 3D mapping and 3D modeling market is supported by the development of various key factors, including the rapid growth of smart cities and large-scale infrastructure projects that need highly accurate spatial data for planning, monitoring, and asset management. Companies are increasingly adopting drones, LiDAR, and AI-driven photogrammetry, which is not only significantly improving the accuracy of the data but also reducing the time and costs of operations, thus opening the door for the broader usage of such technologies among industries. There is also an upsurge in the demand for digital twins, BIM GIS integration, and real-time 3D visualization in construction, transportation, utilities, and urban development, which is additionally supporting the market growth.

The projected expansion of the 3D mapping and modeling market is hampered by the shortage of capital expenditure. Inadequate funding limits R&D efforts, training personnel, and the purchase of modern technologies. One key cause for limited investor interest is the animation industry's delayed Return on Investment (ROI). As such, financiers are hesitant about investing in the market for 3D mapping and modeling.

The incorporation of 3D mapping and modeling technologies with the Internet of Things (IoT) and digital sensor technology facilitates real-time data collecting and visualization, resulting in an extensive number of advantages that can be utilized across a wide range of industries. Sensors and IoT devices collect real-time data from tangible objects, equipment, and surroundings. These devices can record a variety of data, such as temperature, water content, pressure, motion, and position. Businesses can acquire massive volumes of data in real time by merging 3D mapping and modeling tools with connected devices. 3D mapping and modeling tools offer a strong foundation for displaying intricate information from IoT devices. Instead of standard 2D charts and graphs, 3D models allow consumers to analyse data spatially, more efficiently recognizing emerging trends, patterns, and irregularities.
