Driving Simulator Market Growth & Trends:
The global driving simulator market size is expected to reach USD 2.98 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.6% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing research & development activities focused on developing autonomous vehicles, coupled with growing demand for advanced driving assistance systems, are expected to drive the market in the forecast period. The use of simulators for vehicle testing helps automotive manufacturers to assess the real-time performance of the vehicles in a dynamic but controlled environment.
Driving simulator acts as a training platform for training new as well as experienced drivers for commercial and project-oriented purposes. These machines are used for providing driving lessons ranging from basic to expert levels. Moreover, they help the trainers and the researchers in determining the behaviour patterns of the drivers under several unavoidable circumstances, including sudden braking.
Furthermore, simulators are used across various platforms in the aviation industry to train pilots of commercial aircrafts and helicopters and military aircrafts. These machines are also gaining momentum in the motorsports and gaming industry. Car and bike simulators are increasingly used in gaming zones and arenas as well as amusement parks. They enable higher player engagement in the game, thereby increasing their popularity globally.
