Statistics for 2001, stand anywhere between US$ 25 billion and US$ 38 billion. Analysts estimate that the global animation production rose to about US$ 45 billion in 2002. Some of the other estimates of the NASSCOM report on animation indicate the following: • The global entertainment market will generate a demand for animation production services of the order of US$ 37 billion by 2003 (forecasts by Pixel Inc.) • In the non-entertainment segment the demand for animation production services will touch US$ 14.7 billion by 2005 (forecasts by industry source) — • The global film/TV program production market will create a US $ 17.5 billion revenue opportunity for animation production houses (forecasts by Pixel Inc.) • On the gaming side, according to an ICT industry leader, the demand for animation production services was of the order of US$ 5 billion in 2000 Indian Animation market A recent study on the animation industry by NASSCOM shows that the global animation production market is set for major growth.

The Indian animation market, fairly ―static‖ until a few years ago and activity on this front only began in earnest in the later half of the 90s when animation studios made an appearance in the country and the industry developed a more serious, export oriented outlook. India is now waking up to a host of global opportunities that promise a lot of ―action‖ for the country’s leading design specialists. According to NASSCOM study, the forces that are shaping the development of the animation industry in India include technical manpower to meet the 2-D and 3-D animation requirements, lower costs of animation production, the expected demand from domestic Indian television channels and the formation of domestic animation studios and training centers. The animation market in India today is characterized by the presence of multiple players including Crest Communications, Films Division Maya Entertainment, Silvertoon Studio, 2NZ Studio, Cine Magin, Climb Films, UTV Toons, Zee Institute of Creative Arts (ZICA), Digital Studio, Pentamedia Graphics, Prasad Studios, Acropetal, jadooWorks, Color Chips, Heart Animation, Ocean Park, Padmalaya Telefilms, and Toonz Animation, Magic Shop, Moving Pictures, among others. These companies are spread across cities such as Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Thiruvananthapuram. India’s animation studios are catering to the requirements of various end user segments such as feature films, TV programs, advertisements/commercials and computer games. Animation solutions are also finding a place in niches such as film titling, special effects, Web entertainment programs, TV broadcast graphics, 3D modeling and background development. In each of these areas the extent or scope of services for an animation production company include offering services in animation production services, co-production and content creation. Segments such as online education, CAD/CAE, and industry specific applications such as architecture, medical, legal/insurance, etc. are also potential platforms for animation, though Indian studios are not focused on these markets. Skill sets in 2D and 3D animation are leading to opportunities in segments such as TV programs and feature films. India has several training institutes that cater to the demand of training animation professionals. Chief among them are the National Institute of Design (Ahmedabad), J.J. School of Arts, Zee Institute of Creative Arts (ZICA), Mumbai, Industrial Design Center (IIT Mumbai), IIT Guwahati, C-DAC’s National Multimedia Resource Center (Pune). Private training institutes include Arena Animation Academy (Mumbai) and Pentamedia Graphics (Chennai). India: The Animation Hub? (Cited Content ends here…) Well the cited content is ages old, today animation industry have gone through a lot of refinement, improvement and shines far beyond the predictions made few years before… salute to those souls who have sacrificed and struggled through their creative and managing skills to build and evolve as a successful producers of animation content in the Indian space.
