Igor's call, in full
Beyond the standalone AR market sits the wider immersive economy, and it is far bigger. I forecast the metaverse economy, spanning VR, AR, XR, and mixed reality, plus virtual goods, e-commerce, and services, reaches $4 to $5 trillion by 2030. This is not about strapping on a headset. It is about immersive experiences becoming a layer of daily commerce and culture, the same way the mobile internet did. The companies building the infrastructure underneath this stack today are the giants of the 2030s. Most people are still laughing at the headsets, exactly as they laughed at the smartphone.
