The Metaverse epidemic started by Mark Zuckerberg continues to affect the technology world. Many companies want to participate in the virtual world, which is still in the early development stage. The aim, of course, is to take a large share of the future market. According to the latest reports, technology giants such as Huawei and LG are securing metaverse hardware patents.

The global metaverse market is expected to reach $996 billion in 2030

Although Metaverse is not a successful project, for now, it is still growing at an incredible rate. The global metaverse market is expected to reach $996 billion in 2030, and the annual growth rate is 39.8%. According to Nikkei Asia’s reports, since 2016, LG Electronics has filed the most Metaverse patent applications, moving up from 11th place from 2010 to 2015.

Samsung Electronics held its position in second. Display colour schemes and semiconductors are among the strengths of South Korean companies. They are more focused on technologies that make virtual reality headsets. Meta ranked third, and Huawei placed fourth in the ranking with numerous patents related to image and display processing.

Apple is still in sixth place. The company has been working on a headset known as Reality Pro for a while. However, these glasses are still in early development and not ready for the end user. However, it is worth remembering that all of these patents are investments for the future.

Tech companies apply for more patents yearly than we can count, but only some are used. Therefore, it is useful to be careful when investing in new technologies such as Metaverse lands, coins etc. You can lose all your money trying to get rich quickly.
