The research firm Gartner has set out a great forecast for the future of the metaverse, predicting that a quarter of all people will be spending “at least” one hour a day in the metaverse by 2026.

In a press release, the firm set out that they believe people would using the metaverse for a variety of things, such as “for work, shopping, education, social (purposes), and or entertainment”, all of which activities are being invested into building strongly right now.

We will see one infinite metaverse universe according to the report as opposed to different platforms, with Gartner sharing that, “Eventually, they will take place in a single environment”, “with multiple destinations across technologies and experiences.”,

The company shared predictions of fast-growth for the corporate-end of the metaverse as well, stating that by 2026 “30% of the organizations in the world will have products and services ready for metaverse”.

We’re all onboard and agree with these predictions, and with the speed that the space is going already even though most people hadn’t even heard of the metaverse even just 6 months ago, we have no doubts in that it will be massively-adopted by 2026.
