Hong Kong, March 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ARK Investment Management, which has achieved amazing results due to its heavy holdings in Tesla, recently released its 2021 annual investment report.
Due to its outstanding and long-term vision in the field of technology, ARK's Big Ideas series of annual reports have been regarded as the"bible"of technology investment in the professional financial area in the past. After their legendary Tesla record spread all over the world, this year's annual report is even more eye-catching.
In this year's report, "Bull Queen" Cathie Wood led her ARK research team to put forward 15 ambitious and promising investment themes. In addition to the well-known Bitcoin, electric vehicles, and autonomous driving, some themes such as deep learning, next-generation gene sequencing, data center re-creation, and VRAR are also included.
In ARK's view, these themes are not only themes that can be focused on this year, but also have a huge market and investment space in the next few years.
In addition, they expect that some areas may be or are appearing extremely innovative and disruptive progress. Among them, Bitcoin may usher in a new era in which institutions are the main investment force. The data center industry is undergoing an earth-shaking technological revolution. Digital wallets will fundamentally affect the status of traditional banks around the world, and the sales of electric vehicles will explode by 20 times.The annual compound growth rate of VRAR is 17%.
The virtual world consists of video games, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR).
The virtual world is defined as a computer simulation environment that anyone can access anytime and anywhere. Nowadays, the interaction between daily social life and the virtual world is still in its infancy.
According to ARK's research, the revenue generated from the virtual world will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 17%, which is expected to grow from the current $180 billion to $390 billion in 2020.Currently, the virtual worlds are independent of each other, but in the future, they may be connected to each other, and eventually grow into what futurists think of as "The Metaverse".
The augmented reality (AR) market will expand
In the past few years, large technology companies such as Snapchat, Facebook, and Apple have increased their investment in AR, encouraging the wider application of AR tools on the mobile side. By 2022, consumer-grade AR headsets will see a booming trend. ARK predicts that by 2030, the AR market can grow from less than$1 billion today to$130 billion.
Virtual reality (VR) will be close to reality in 2030
According to ARK's proprietary scoring system, nowadays, first-class VR wearable devices can only reach 10% of the human audiovisual experience. If consumer-grade VR devices are limited to the console game market, then VR wearable devices will be difficult to expand to the mass market for immersive experiences.If the price of a pure virtual reality interactive control system is comparable to that of a PC-based system, then before 2030, the production and cost curves of VR headsets will be similar to a curve that of smartphones.
The revenue of the virtual world may reach $400 billion in 2025
According to ARK's research, the global game market will expand at a compound annual growth rate of 16% in the next 5 years, from $175 billion in 2020 to $365 billion in 2025. The AR and VR market will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 59% in the next five years, from a market size of$3 billion to$28 billion in 2025.
