The Global VFX Index

The Visual Effects (VFX) industry is a highly dynamic, exciting, and vital sub-sector of the global Creative Industries.

It increasingly provides significant beneficial contribution to local economies in the many locations where firms are located; attracting and developing highly skilled creative and technological talents, growing the availability of well-paid jobs and boosting expenditure for local goods and services.

We are excited to be able to highlight some of the dynamics of this vibrant industry sector in this new annual report and aim for it to provides helpful context and contribute a useful ongoing resource for business owners, investors, researchers, and professional services firms who have interests in the area.

In our first edition for 2023, our 80-page report presents research data and analysis of the global VFX studio competitor landscape, focusing on those firms working mainly in Entertainment VFX (i.e. VFX for movies and episodic/television). We intend to expand this scope in 2024 and beyond; to include coverage of firms working primarily on VFX for Marketing/Advertising/Immersive as well as those working primarily in CG Animation.

Our research sets out a framework for measuring quantitative aspects of the competitor landscape as it looks today and sets benchmarks by which these attributes can be tracked going forward.

Covering 55 VFX firms who collectively employ over 30,000 people, across 60 cities in 23 countries. The report presents metrics such as:

  • Global VFX Population Geo-Location Mapping

  • Global City Location Listings Matrix

  • Global VFX Firm Listings and Summary Data
