The industrial metaverse market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $28.76 billion in 2024 to $39.34 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 36.8%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the expansion of cloud computing, increasing demand for remote monitoring, the rising adoption of industrial IoT, the advancement of smart manufacturing practices, and the emergence of virtual collaboration platforms.

The industrial metaverse market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $136.76 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 36.5%. The projected growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the expansion of 5G and low-latency networks, increased government and policy support for smart infrastructure, the rise of cross-industry applications, rapid growth in e-commerce, and greater internet penetration. Key trends expected during this period include the adoption of advanced technologies, the integration of digital twin technology within the industrial metaverse, the formation of strategic partnerships and ongoing innovation, broader implementation of industrial metaverse technologies, and the convergence of artificial intelligence with digital twins.

The expansion of smart manufacturing is anticipated to drive the growth of the industrial metaverse market in the coming years. Smart manufacturing involves leveraging advanced technologies like IoT, AI, robotics, and data analytics to optimize and automate production processes in real time. The rise of smart manufacturing is primarily driven by the growing use of IoT-enabled devices, which offer real-time data insights that significantly enhance operational efficiency and automation capabilities. The industrial metaverse complements smart manufacturing by delivering immersive digital environments that facilitate virtual prototyping, predictive maintenance, and streamlined production workflows. For example, in February 2025, according to Gov.UK, a UK government department, smart machinery could substantially increase the UK’s Gross Value Added (GVA) across multiple sectors, rising from approximately $8.1 billion (£6.4 billion) to an impressive $190 billion (£150 billion) by 2035. Thus, the increasing adoption of smart manufacturing is fueling the expansion of the industrial metaverse market.

Leading companies in the industrial metaverse sector are increasingly focused on developing innovative solutions, including advanced immersive training platforms, aimed at improving workforce productivity, reducing operational risks, and lowering training costs. Advanced immersive training platforms refer to technology-driven systems utilizing virtual, augmented, or mixed reality to simulate realistic industrial environments, enabling safe, efficient, and interactive employee training. For example, in March 2023, Altoura, a US-based provider of information technology services, introduced Altoura 6, an advanced immersive training platform tailored for the industrial metaverse. This platform enables organizations to develop interactive 3D training modules without coding, using AI to automate content creation and analytics to monitor performance. Accessible via PCs, mobile devices, and AR/VR headsets, it supports flexible remote learning for frontline employees. With enterprise-grade security and self-service analytics, Altoura 6 is already adopted by major industrial companies and is available as a SaaS solution through Altoura and the Microsoft Azure Marketplace.

In January 2025, Siemens AG, a Germany-based electronics and industrial manufacturing corporation, formed a partnership with Sony Corporation to develop an immersive engineering solution for the industrial metaverse. This collaboration seeks to bring the benefits of the industrial metaverse to designers, engineers, and manufacturers by integrating Siemens’ NX software with Sony’s advanced XR head-mounted display, enabling immersive, high-quality 3D collaboration and co-creation within a secure mixed-reality environment. Sony Group Corporation is a Japan-based organization known for designing and developing diverse electronics and entertainment products.
