What's Brewing in the Metaverse
Many big companies globally either plan to or are already in the Metaverse. JP Morgan, McDonald’s, Disney, Hyundai, Gucci, and Nike are just a few that have entered the Metaverse world.
Let’s look at a few recent buzzes in the Metaverse space.
China’s Metaverse-Connected Economy Could Hit $4T Mark
JP Morgan released a report recently which discussed the implications of China’s Metaverse on gaming, advertising, and e-commerce.
The American investment bank predicted this could benefit companies such as Tencent, NetEase, Bilibili, Sea, Krafton, and Bandai Namco, important Chinese internet and entertainment stocks.
The digital world would provide an improved user experience across various models for online businesses leading to increased penetration rates or ARPUs( average revenue per user).
The bank’s bullish scenario suggests that the Metaverse could triple China’s online-gaming market to $131 billion from $44 billion.
“The Metaverse could digitalize everything in the long term,” the bank said. It estimates a $4 trillion total addressable market (TAM) for the Metaverse in China from “converting offline consumption across physical goods and services.”
The development of the Metaverse will also have a notable impact on the entire technology, media and telecom (TMT) ecosystem.
Disney CEO Lays Out Early Plan for Digital Future
On 11 Sep 2022, Walt Disney Company Chairman and CEO Bob Chapek unveiled a plan for how the entertainment giant will use technology to enhance storytelling in their parks -- for the next 100 years.
He described it as "next generation" or Metaverse-based stories with data gleaned from theme park visits and consumers' streaming habits to deliver personalized entertainment experiences, including from the company's Marvel and Lucasfilm studios.
We have seen entertainment and technology companies rushed to secure a position in the Metaverse - especially after Meta Platforms Inc CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the future of his company would be devoted to creating a robust, three-dimensional, persistent environment -- where users' digital avatars would work, hang out and pursue their hobbies.
But the Metaverse activities are NOT just limited to overseas companies.
In Malaysia, businesses are also getting into the Metaverse.
