The Metaverse: And How It Will Revolutionize Everything

by Matthew Ball

If the Metaverse is, say, 10% of digital by 2032, and digital’s share of the world economy grows from 20% to 25% over that time, and the world economy continues to grow at an average of 2.5%, then in a decade, the Metaverse economy would be worth $3.65 trillion annually. This figure would also indicate that the Metaverse constituted a quarter of the growth in the digital economy since 2022, and nearly 10% of real GDP growth over that same time (much of the rest would stem from population increases and shifting consumer habits, such as buying more cars, consuming more water, and so on). At 15% of the digital economy, the Metaverse would be $5.45 trillion annually, a third of digital’s growth, and 13% of the world economy’s growth. At 20%, it would be $7.25 trillion, half, and one-sixth. Some imagine the Metaverse might be as much as 30% of the digital economy of 2032.
