CGTrader

CGTrader is the world's largest marketplace for professional 3D models, founded in 2011 in Vilnius, Lithuania. The platform connects 3D designers, digital artists, and software developers with professional buyers: production studios, game developers, virtual and augmented reality companies, industrial designers, and anyone requiring high-quality three-dimensional assets. With over 2.67 million 3D models available and a community of 12.2 million users, CGTrader has become the reference infrastructure for the global 3D asset market. Its business model combines a competitive royalty for sellers (up to 85% of the sale price) with B2B enterprise services for large companies requiring 3D assets at scale — from virtual reality furnishings to 3D advertising campaign assets. In 2021, it raised $9.5 million in a Series B round to accelerate the enterprise platform's growth. The 3D model market is expanding rapidly, driven by the video game boom, the metaverse economy, parametric architecture, and the growing adoption of augmented reality in retail and design. CGTrader is well-positioned to benefit from this growth, while navigating the challenge posed by new AI-based 3D generation tools — a threat and an opportunity simultaneously.
