Future of Consumer Metaverse
The Metaverse is merging gaming, media, retail, live events, and social media into a new form of interactivity that blends digital and physical. Brands and retailers need to be present wherever the consumer is, engaging with them as they spend more time in new and emerging digital spaces.
Citi has estimated the total addressable market for the Metaverse could be between $8 trillion and $13 trillion by 2030, with total Metaverse users numbering around five billion. What is your plan to become part of the transition?
