The metaverse could contribute as much as $760 billion or about 2.4% to U.S. annual gross domestic product by 2035, according to a Deloitte study commissioned by Facebook owner Meta Platforms.
The concept of the metaverse includes augmented and virtual reality technologies that allow users to immerse themselves in a virtual world or overlay information digitally on images of the real world, according to this report.
Economic gains may come from the use of the technologies in the defense, medical and manufacturing sectors, plus entertainment use cases such as video games and communication, the report said.
