 MARKET OVERVIEW
• The simulation software is primarily based on the modeling of real-life scenario
incorporating with a specific set of mathematical formulas. It enables a user to
observe the operation by running a possible simulation without actually implementing
the program.
• This process is widely used during the equipment design to obtain the exact
specification without any modification. In addition, the simulation software along with
real-time response is frequently utilized in gaming. However, it contributes an
essential aspect to the industrial applications.
• For instance, when the cost of improper training or operation is high, such as for
nuclear power plant operators, airplane pilots, and chemical plant operators, the
mock operation is connected to the simulation to obtain real-time similar control
panel.
• This provides rich training experience without hampering any physical asset and loss
to the company, which is likely to boost the market growth over the forecast period.
• Practically, any phenomena can be simulated, provided it is reduced to a
mathematical equation and data on the computer. For instance, weather condition,
chemical reaction, feedback control systems, complex biological processes, and
electronic circuits can be reduced to a mathematical equation, thus, allowing for
simulation which is expected to boost the market growth over the forecast period.

• Furthermore, the simulation is highly useful to test new theories, apart from
imitating processes which may fuel the utilization in diverse sectors.
• Furthermore, the simulation software holds immense potential for the
government and corporate as it helps in crucial decision making without
incurring any damage or unnecessary cost.
• Notably, owing to its superior characteristics, it is widely used in education and
the research segment, which may propel the industry growth over the forecast
period. Additionally, creating real-time simulation scenarios saves a lot of
money and poses less time to execute, which encourages and enhances the
core business competencies, which is expected to have a positive impact on
the market growth.
• In June 2018, the Fraunhofer Institute for Medical Image Computing in
Germany exhibited their simulation software which may help to fix cardiac
valves. By the utilization and gathering data imaging data from ultrasound, CT
scan, and MRI, they created a virtual heart which can further be examined.
• Once the problem is solved, a similar procedure can be executed to the real
heart and can be commercially made available to various hospitals in Germany.
This is expected to increase the adoption of the software or platform in
medicine and healthcare, thereby propelling the market growth over the
forecast period.
