The increasing adoption of Industry 4.0 and industrial IoT is the key factor driving the growth of the global digital twin market. Industry 4.0 is the new industrial paradigm that focuses considerably on digitalization. The fourth industrial revolution is changing the existing IT structure of industrial companies. Industry 4.0 has raised the application of the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), which promotes using the smart sensors and actuators in manufacturing processes. Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) provides benefits, such as improved productivity and efficiency, increased collaboration and knowledge-sharing, enhanced customer experience, cost reduction, and high profitability.
In addition, digital twin technology is important to the development of Industry 4.0 projects, which include automation, real-time data interchange, and advanced manufacturing processes. For asset and product lifecycle management, industries have been actively employing digital twins. For instance, Volvo Group, a Sweden-based automobile original equipment manufacturer, uses PTC digital twin solutions to improve its workforce productivity and quality control. Thus, Industry 4.0 is gaining high traction in the manufacturing industry which is expected to boost the growth of the global digital twin market during the forecast period.
Increasing traction in the healthcare sector is the key trend driving the growth of the global digital twin market. The healthcare sector is the leading sector in terms of the adaptation of new technology. The healthcare sector is highly focused on reducing its CAPEX and OPEX and providing best-in-class medical facilities to patients. In the last few years, the digital twin has gained significant traction in the healthcare industry. By creating a digital three-dimensional (3D) model of hospitals, processes, staffing, and care models, the hospital management can gain insights into bed shortages, the transmission of germs, staff schedules, and operating rooms.
Moreover, digital twin solutions enable hospital management to make dynamic decisions to optimize patient care, costs, and facility performance. Market players and healthcare service providers are working closely to identify further applications of digital twin solutions in healthcare. Furthermore, the trend of vendors partnering with healthcare providers, researchers, and pharmaceutical companies is expected to propel the growth of the global digital twin market during the forecast period.
The high cost of deployment and complex architecture of digital twins is the major challenge that will impede the growth of the global digital twin market. Implementing a digital twin requires significant investment in technology platforms, infrastructure development, and maintenance. Organizations need to invest heavily in IoT platforms, sensors, software, infrastructure, and security solutions. Additionally, keeping a digital twin infrastructure working smoothly requires significant investments in operations. A digital twin is a long-term project that increases long-term variable costs.
Moreover, digital twins have complex architectures and require a significant IT workforce and investments to manage this complex infrastructure. The complexity of digital twins varies by business objectives and industry. Interoperability issues, heterogeneous devices, application scenarios, data formats, and communication networks increase the complexity of digital twin infrastructures. Organizations must develop new architectural frameworks to address these challenges and simplify complexity.
The market share growth by the on-premises segment will be significant during the forecast period. On-premises digital twin solutions are often used over cloud-based solutions because they offer better security. The global market for digital twins is in the early stages of the product lifecycle and these solutions are being used by leading aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing industries. These industries focus on intellectual property (IP) and data security and thus extensively use on-premises software.

The on-premises segment showed a gradual increase in the market share of USD 1,090.36 million in 2017 and continued to grow by 2021. On-premises solutions align with the industry's business objectives and provide better security and control of the overall process than cloud-based solutions. The major benefits of on-premises solutions such as data control, less vendor dependency, a foundation for future hybrid cloud expansion, and easier customization. Adopting on-premise digital twin solutions is expected to grow with rising adoption by large enterprises during the forecast period.
The rapid adoption of Industry 4.0 around the globe is a major growth contributor to digital twin solutions in the manufacturing sector. Digital twin solutions will be important in product design, manufacturing processes, and repair and maintenance. Such solutions are used to make digital replicas of products and manufacturing processes. A digital twin solution would affect the three main aspects of the manufacturing sector which include production and design, product monitoring and maintenance, and new product development. Furthermore, the availability of cloud-based digital twin solutions has increased their adoption among Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which were otherwise limited to large manufacturing companies because of high upfront costs. Thus, the demand for digital twin solutions is expected to drive the growth of the global digital twin market during the forecast period.
