The MENA Metaverse Market is expected to grow at a strong CAGR of 42.3% during the forecast period.
The metaverse refers to a hypothesized iteration of the internet that blends aspects of online virtual worlds, augmented reality, social media, and cryptocurrencies to allow users to interact virtually in a shared virtual space. In the metaverse, the digital and physical worlds are brought together in a unified, real-time simulation spanning multiple platforms and devices. For example, a metaverse platform could allow a user to purchase a virtual plot of land as an NFT asset using a cryptocurrency like Ethereum. The user can then develop the land, hosting virtual events or renting out advertising space. Crypto and NFTs enable new ownership models. Key characteristics of the metaverse include persistence, real-time interaction, interoperability, presence, platform convergence, blockchain integration, and hybrid reality blending digital and physical worlds. These features aim to evolve internet experiences into immersive shared virtual spaces. The emergence and adoption of blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies, and NFTs in the MENA region contributes to the demand for metaverse platforms and experiences. As virtual currencies and digital assets gain traction in MENA, more consumers are getting comfortable with the concepts underpinning crypto-enabled metaverse environments.
