Innovation in metaverse expected to intensify in 2023 with increased investment

The investment in the metaverse sector, which has been led by Meta, has resulted in investors asking questions about the potential future of the metaverse industry. While adoption of the technology, termed as the future of the internet, has remained below expectations in 2022, tech firms have continued to invest billions of dollars into the development of new projects and metaverse-related infrastructure. Although Meta might not have anything substantial just yet to prove to investors that the metaverse is indeed the future of the internet, other smaller firms have continued to launch innovative metaverse platforms.

MeetKai, one of the metaverse-focused firms, has launched several products over the last few quarters to help developers in building components of the virtual worlds. At the 2023 Consumer Electronics Show, the firm launched more innovative platforms that are geared toward users and creators of the metaverse. Notably, the firm launched MeetKai Reality, a 3D-digitizing service, that brings various objects and spaces from the real world into the metaverse.

The platform will allow developers and creators to record a video and then upload the footage to MeetKai Reality. The service then renders the captured space in virtual reality. While there are already platforms, such as Matterport, Coohom, and Zillow, which render spaces from photos, the MeetKai Reality service is the first that is specifically tailored for the metaverse use cases. PayNXT360 expects the MeetKai Reality service launched by the firm to further drive innovation in the real estate, interior design, engineering, and architecture fields.

Along with MeetKai Reality, the firm also launched another product at the 2023 Consumer Electronics Show. The MeetKai Metaverse Editor, a bit more differentiating product compared to MeetKai Reality, allows users and developers without coding experience to build spaces and structures in the metaverse. Of course, there are tools such as Tripolygon that allow developers to build metaverse spaces, but they are not no-code applications such as MeetKai Metaverse Editor.

The firm is also launching MeetKai Cloud AI, the service that will allow developers to integrate voice assistants into an existing metaverse environment. According to the firm, the voice assistants will take the form of avatars that will be conversing on any given topic in the metaverse. Furthermore, these avatars will have reasoning capabilities when interacting with the end users.

Along with MeetKai, a number of different firms announced various innovative initiatives and projects in the metaverse sector at the 2023 Consumer Electronics Show. LG Electronics, for instance, announced a plethora of metaverse-related initiatives at the 2023 Consumer Electronics Show. The firm has increased its investment to bring the metaverse to smart TVs. Integration of the metaverse with smart TVs can potentially drive mass popularity and adoption of the virtual worlds among consumers globally.

Like smart TVs, firms such as Sony are also seeking to drive the mass adoption of the metaverse by bringing the virtual world to customers through their smartphone devices. The firm had launched a sensor-based product, which when attached to the human body, allows consumers to experience their movements in the metaverse through their smartphone devices. In 2023, TechInsight360 expects these firms to further increase their investment in the space and launch innovative products and services, thereby supporting the growth of the market from the short to medium-term perspective.

Mexico’s prepaid card market to reach US$ 29.7 billion by 2021

Mexico is the second-largest economy in Latin America, after Brazil and has a strong growth potential for Mexico prepaid cards market. Government-issued benefits cards and payroll cards are drivingthe open loop prepaid cards’ growth in Mexico, whereas transport cards and merchant issued gift cards dominate the closed loop prepaid card category. The prepaid card market in Gross Dollar Value terms increased at a CAGR of 29% during 2012-2016. Over the forecast period of 2017 to 2021, the category is expected to record a CAGR of over 20% to reach US$ 29.7billion by 2021.

 As per The World Bank’s Financial Inclusion Data / Global Findex, only about 40% of Mexicans aged more than 15 years have bank accounts. This low rate of financial inclusion can be attributed to the fact that about 55% of municipalities in Mexico do not have even a single bank or microfinance institution branch. The Mexican Government is focusing on enhancing financial inclusion in the country through its Financial Inclusion Strategy which seeks to achieve the objective by creating new laws and regulations or amending existing ones, to facilitate private financial services institutions to develop products and services that expand financial reach. Prepaid card issuers can therefore benefit from the initiative to introduce new and innovative products in the market. The Mexican government is also encouraging prepaid card use by utilizing the card category to disburse social benefits.

 The Mexican economy had to cope with challenges in 2015 that included lower oil prices, depreciating peso vis-à-vis the US dollar, and an overall difficult global economic environment, that led to lower than expected pace of economic recovery. In the coming few years as well the complicated global environment is likely to contain Mexico’s economic growth prospects to a moderate annual rate of growth.PayNXT360’s Global Consumer Survey suggests that in many emerging economies, consumers’ adoption of prepaid cards such as general purpose reloadable (GPR) cards, increases during an economically uncertain time. 

For instance, in Brazil as well as Italy it was observed that consumers, even those belonging to banked and higher income groups opted for GPR cards to budget their spending and limit fraud potential. With economic uncertainty expected to continue in Mexico, card issuers can promote GPR cards for retail customers as an expense management tool that is both convenient and secure to use. During an economically uncertain time businesses also come under pressure to control their costs and streamline their business operations to improve sustainability and competitiveness. Corporate prepaid cards such as business expense cards, payroll cards, and procurement cards, which help businesses achieve theseobjectives, have significant growth opportunity in the country.

Mexico has a significant youth population. The country’s median age is estimated to be 27.3 years, with about 45% of population being under 24 years of age and about 33% of population (almost 40 million people) is between 12 and 29 years of age. This demographic constitutes an important target group for prepaid card issuers. Mexican millennials are highly digital, attributing to more than 50% of the country’s total online population and close to 60% of them owns a smartphone. According to PayNXT360’s Global Consumer Survey results,millennialsare one of the key drivers for prepaid card adoption. This trend is expected to hold true for Mexico as well where the digital savvy millennials are likely to be at forefront of driving prepaid card adoption.
