RebusFarm Business in Arch Viz. Vol. 2
Welcome to the second installment of our new RebusFarm Business in Arch Viz series. Over the next year we will be featuring two articles every month. Each new article will discuss the business side of working in and running businesses in the visualization industry. We will feature articles from some of the top studios in the world and have in-depth answers to questions that every studio and artist in the industry should know.
The goal of this series is to provide a long-term resource for not only new artists and business owners entering the industry, but also long-time industry veterans. The topics will range from contracts and IT infrastructure to hiring and business strategy.
Studios participating in this series include: 2G Studio, ArX Solutions, Beauty and the Bit, Cityscape, DBOX, Designstor, Digit Group, Inc., Factory Fifteen, Kilograph, Luxigon, MIR, Neoscape, Public Square, Steelblue, The Neighbourhood, Transparent House, Urbansimulations and many more. Collectively these companies generate hundreds of millions of dollars a year in revenue, and have decades of experience running some of the most successful businesses in the industry.
The first two articles in the series will feature interesting business-related highlights from our last CGarchitect industry survey.
We hope you enjoy the series!

Oh ok, but if I'm not wrong- and please do correct me if wrong- approximately 70% of the companies just bill 2 jobs each month? How is that economically viable?

Hello
How many firms were there considered to get this information?

Thank you Jeff Mottle. I wonder how big is the market. I wonder why there are no big corporations in this business. The closest industry is probably the studio for special effects for movies. There are several companies listed on the stock exchange.

Pure visualization studios....none that I am personally aware of. There are probably engineering or real-estate developers though.

Well, estimating market size (how much money is spent on arch viz worldwide) is a tough one as not many people really have that number. This question was to try to crowd source the answer. Given how evenly spread the guesses are, I don't think anyone really has a good grasp of it. But my guess would be in the $1-2B range. If you consider that the top 10 dedicated studios in the industry make close to $100M a year, it's pretty easy to get to $1-2B worldwide.

This is really interesting information indeed.
But I think I need an explanation regarding the Estimated total market size.
IMO looks way too big, I may be wrong, maybe I do not understand what it really means.

Very interesting to see the profit margins vs the wages in some of these areas.
