Top Animation Companies in Singapore

Overview

Industry growth driven by young workforce supported by government and changing trends

The Singapore government has not been shy with their support for the animation sector, bringing the local industry to a global standard by bringing in processes and know-how and talent as well as creating business linkages. The subsidies allocated have managed to attract leading multinationals, thus creating opportunities for joint ventures and jobs. Furthermore, the government’s strong efforts to improve and advance the country’s technology undoubtedly provides the animation industry with space to grow and push creative boundaries.

With global industry leaders stationed in the country, partnerships between these global heavyweights and local companies have been on the rise. However, rather than targeting the domestic market, most ventures aim to cater to more populated countries in Asia, with Singapore’s current population standing at 5.7 million. The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), through schemes like the Capability Partnership Programme, has invested in domestic media companies to battle this problem. Funding like this helps local companies gain equity, have a say and assert creative ideas in the regional media industry, instead of remaining as just facilitators.

Singapore’s well-equipped academic sector assists the animation industry by allowing its workforce to adapt and familiarize themselves with the latest technology and equipment. Furthermore, some programmes offered by academic institutions help bridge the gap between theory taught by media schools and real-world requirements and skills needed by the animation industry.

High cost of production and other factors might be holding back the sector

The local animation industry suffers from a high cost of production when compared to other Asian countries like Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand; this could mean lost opportunities to collaborate with international partners as they may opt for a more cost-effective country.

In addition to this, the animation sector also has to compete with other technological and digitally driven sectors when it comes to recruiting labour. Another challenge faced by the sector is the difficulty to recruit foreign talent due to unfavourable government policies resulting in local businesses finding it hard to scale up.

Key Trends

New technology and innovation push the industry further towards growth

The animation, VFX (visual effects) and games sector has become one of the fastest growing segments in the entertainment and media industry thanks to the accelerated advancement of technology.

Moreover, growing demand for 3D and virtual reality in movies, TV, advertising and gaming has boosted the animation industry even further into the limelight. More and more animation studios are choosing to invest in more 3D or VR-focused projects, making the use of this kind of technology a must if they want to remain competitive.

Streaming platforms and easy accessibility drive demand for more animation content

With the number of internet users increasing each day and the growing ease of accessing over-the-top (OTT) media services, an increased demand for more media content is a given, and this includes animation. Companies are integrating new OTT services across existing subscription streaming devices, and continue to introduce more OTT content involving animation and VFX. Adding to that, not only is animation consumed on platforms like Netflix, Amazon and Hulu but also on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.

Consumers are spending more time on streaming digital content. In fact, the fastest growing segment distribution channel for animation is streaming video, which is experiencing double-digit growth that is expected to continue over the next few years.

Animation proves to be effective medium to promote businesses

Some 86% of businesses over the years have included some form of animation in their advertising and marketing strategy. In 2018, a survey revealed that 68% of Singaporean internet users watch videos that include animated videos. Many businesses have seen success in using animation to sell their products and reach customers on an emotional level; this could be one of the reasons why 88% of companies in 2018 were happy with their return on investment in animation.

Animation helps explain and simplify products and demonstration, and visually aids the customer in understanding how the product can be used. According to a report published in 2017, viewers understand 95% of a complex topic or product through video and 5% through text. With users collectively spending 250 million hours watching videos daily on only YouTube, it is most likely that companies can access a wider audience through videos. Adding to that, compared to live-action ads, animated ads are more cost-effective, and require less planning and production costs as the animation studio will handle the creative process.

COVID-19 barely impacts industry thanks to remote working

Unlike live-action media, animation does not require actors or as much in-person interaction. Despite brands lowering their budgets, the animation field was barely affected, with studios reporting a 25% increase in demand in service bookings as reported by a 2021 article.

Furthermore, even public health services like the WHO (World Health Organization) and NHS (National Health Service) have been using animated messages to convey COVID-19 safety tips. A few other big brands, like McDonald’s, have chosen to release animated advertisements as well.

Key Statistics

The global animation market was worth USD 351.58 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 530.19 billion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.26%.
In 2018, the Asian animation industry was valued at USD 52 billion.
In 2021, Asia Pacific was the fastest growing market in the global animation and VFX industry, as reported by Mordor Intelligence.
By 2029, the Asia Pacific animation market is expected to reach USD 147,366.50 million.
The global 3D animation software market was valued at USD 18.26 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 39.4 billion by 2028.
