Global Virtual Commissioning Market to Reach USD 1.69 Billion by 2029, Growing at 15.19% CAGR
12 June 2025

Virtual commissioning is the creation of a digital replica of a physical manufacturing environment. The process involves using simulation technology to test new equipment and make changes to existing systems in a 3D virtual environment before they are made in the physical plant. Once the simulation has been programmed, every aspect of the system can be tested in a virtual world to ensure that, when it is physically installed, all other systems in the plant integrate with it correctly. If further changes are required, these can be made and tested in the simulation.
