Metaverse in Retail and Apparel - Thematic Intelligence

Summary

By 2030 the author predicts that the metaverse will reach over $627 billion in revenue, having grown at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 34% between 2022 and 2030. However, there will be slow uptake of the theme within retail due to an overall lack of benefits for the sector. The metaverse is still in its early stages of development, and its future trajectory in retail is uncertain. This, alongside a limited audience reach as the tech has not achieved mainstream adoption, suggests there may be more risks associated with the retail sector exploring the tech than benefits.

Inflation rates have hit the retail industry hard, so long-term business decisions focused on profitability must be made. Currently, evidence suggests that the metaverse will not bolster retailers' profitability. The tech also operates on various platforms, each with its own user base,rules, and capabilities. This makes it difficult for retailers to establish a consistent and cohesive presence across all metaverse platforms. As a result, the metaverse will not help retailers increase their reach.
