Yet its potential to unleash the next wave of digital disruption seems increasingly clear, with real-life benefits already emerging for early adopting users and companies** - McKinsey* ## The Potential of the Metaverse Leading global management consulting firm McKinsey & Company estimates the metaverse will generate up to $5 trillion in impact by 2030. The impact varies by industry, with an estimated $2 to $2.6 trillion impact specifically on e-commerce. The report surveyed over 3,400 consumers and executives about the metaverse, finding around 61% of business leaders expect “it to moderately change the way their industry operates,” per the report. Of the 59% of respondents who indicated they already preferred one or more activities virtually versus physically, 79% said they preferred immersive world shopping. Businesses already getting involved in the metaverse in its early stages could have long-term advantages over their competitors.
