NEW YORK and LONDON and PARIS, June 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — McKinsey & Company<\/a> released its new report \u201cValue creation in the metaverse<\/a>,\u201d which shows the metaverse may be too big to ignore. McKinsey\u2019s preliminary forecast shows the metaverse has the potential to grow up to $5 trillion in value by 2030. It shows e-commerce as the largest economic force ($2.6 trillion), ahead of sectors such as virtual learning ($270 billion), advertising ($206 billion), and gaming ($125 billion).<\/p>\n As companies of all different shapes and sizes look to enter the metaverse, this extensive report provides a clear view of what the metaverse is and is not, what first movers are doing, what\u2019s fueling the investment, and the potential for consumer and B2B companies.<\/p>\n The report builds on multiple proprietary insights and analysis, including a survey of more than 3,400 consumers and executives on adoption of the metaverse, its potential, and its likely impact on behavior. The researchers also interviewed metaverse builders and industry experts.<\/p>\n \u201cThe metaverse represents a strategic inflection point for companies, and it presents a significant opportunity to influence the way we live, connect, learn, innovate, and collaborate,\u201d said Eric Hazan, senior partner, McKinsey & Company. \u201cOur ambition is to help leaders of both consumer and B2B companies better understand its power and potential, identify strategic imperatives, and act as a force for its evolution.\u201d<\/p>\n What\u2019s fueling the metaverse investment<\/strong> Multiple factors are driving this investor enthusiasm:<\/p>\n Already, more than three billion gamers worldwide have access to different versions of the metaverse.<\/p>\n \u201cWhile the idea of connecting virtually has been decades in the making, it is now increasingly real, meaning real people are using it and spending real money and companies are betting big,\u201d said Lareina Yee, senior partner, McKinsey & Company. \u201cYet this booming interest has made it difficult to separate hype from reality. It\u2019s worth remembering that while the bust of the first dot-com boom resulted in the disappearance of scores of companies, the internet itself went from strength to strength, giving rise to new entrants.\u201d<\/p>\n Consumers are already engaging in the metaverse<\/strong> Among those consumers, certain types of activities stand out for being most preferred in the immersive world:<\/p>\n Senior leaders believe the metaverse will have a significant impact on their industry<\/strong> \u201cThe metaverse has put us at the cusp of the next wave of digital disruption,\u201d said Tarek Elmasry, senior partner, McKinsey & Company. \u201cIt\u2019s transformative. It will likely have a major impact on our commercial and personal lives, which is why businesses, policy makers, consumers, and citizens may want to explore and understand as much as they can about this phenomenon, the technology that will underpin it, and the ramifications it could have for our economies and wider society.\u201d<\/p>\n For more insights and to read the full report, please click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n About the report<\/strong> About McKinsey & Company<\/strong> About Growth, <\/strong>Marketing & Sales, McKinsey & Company<\/strong> For more information, please contact<\/strong>
\nAlready this year, companies, venture capital, and private equity firms have invested more than $120 billion in the metaverse\u2014more than double the $57 billion invested in all of last year.<\/p>\n\n
\nConsumers are already there. McKinsey\u2019s research shows consumers are excited about transitioning life into the metaverse, with almost six in ten (59%) consumers preferring at least one metaverse experience over its physical alternative.<\/p>\n\n
\nBusiness leaders see the metaverse\u2019s potential to drive impact and margin growth. Ninety-five percent of leaders say they expect the metaverse to have a positive impact on their industry within five to ten years, with 31 percent saying the metaverse will fundamentally change the way their industry operates. More significantly, a quarter of leaders expect the metaverse technology to drive more than 15 percent of their organization\u2019s total margin growth in the next five years.<\/p>\n
\nMcKinsey surveyed more than 3,400 consumers and senior executives across Asia\u2013Pacific, China, Europe, and the United States to gain insight into the habits of current metaverse users\u2014their motivations, what they are doing, and what they expect to do. In analyzing the metaverse\u2019s value-creation potential and total investment landscape, we examined the drivers of activity among major corporations, venture capital, and private-equity funds. We examined the potential impact of the metaverse on sectors most closely tied to its technology and uses, supplementing our work with additional research, case studies, and real-world examples. The report also includes an in-depth analysis of five industries: apparel, fashion, and luxury; consumer packaged goods; financial services; retail; and telecommunications, media, and technology.<\/p>\n
