The global meta universe blockchain game market size was valued at approximately USD 2.5 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach around USD 15.1 billion by 2032, growing at a robust CAGR of 22.3% during the forecast period. This impressive growth can be attributed to the rising integration of blockchain technology in gaming, offering decentralized gaming experiences and unique asset ownership through Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). The increasing popularity of immersive digital experiences further boosts the adoption of blockchain-based meta-universe games.
Several factors drive the growth of the meta universe blockchain game market. Firstly, the innovation in blockchain technology allows for the creation of secure, transparent, and decentralized gaming environments. Gamers now have the ability to own and trade in-game assets securely, which has revolutionized the gaming economy. The transparency and security offered by blockchain are significantly attractive to both gamers and developers, fostering trust and enabling new revenue streams. Furthermore, the integration of NFTs allows players to buy, sell, and trade unique digital assets, adding a new dimension to the gaming experience and creating additional monetization opportunities.
Secondly, the increasing demand for immersive digital experiences has spurred the development and adoption of meta-universe blockchain games. These games provide a more engaging and interactive experience compared to traditional games, leveraging advanced graphics, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR) technologies. The ability to create and explore vast virtual worlds where players can socialize, trade, and compete in various activities attracts a large and diverse audience. This has led to significant investments from both gaming giants and new entrants, further driving market growth.
Thirdly, the growing community of gamers and developers who favor decentralization is a major growth driver. These communities value the principles of transparency, ownership, and control over digital assets that blockchain technology provides. The ability to create user-generated content and participate in governance decisions within the game further enhances player engagement and loyalty. Additionally, the proliferation of blockchain development platforms and tools has lowered the entry barriers for developers, leading to an increase in the number and variety of meta-universe blockchain games available in the market.
Regionally, North America leads the market with a significant share, driven by the early adoption of blockchain technology and a strong gaming culture. The region's well-established tech infrastructure and high disposable income levels contribute to this leadership. Asia Pacific is expected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period, propelled by the expanding gaming industry in countries like China, Japan, and South Korea. The growing popularity of esports and mobile gaming in the region also supports market expansion. Europe holds a substantial market share, with increasing investments in blockchain technology and gaming hubs in countries like Germany, the UK, and France.
Role-playing games (RPGs) play a prominent role in the meta universe blockchain game market. These games allow players to assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting, providing an immersive experience where they can interact with the game's world in a meaningful way. The integration of blockchain technology enhances these experiences by enabling players to truly own their in-game assets, such as characters, equipment, and properties. This ownership is facilitated through NFTs, adding real-world value to digital items and fostering a vibrant virtual economy. The appeal of RPGs lies in their complex storylines, character development, and social interaction capabilities, which keep players engaged for extended periods.
Simulation games are another important segment in this market. These games mimic real-world activities, offering players an opportunity to engage in scenarios like building cities, managing businesses, or simulating life. Blockchain integration in simulation games allows for the creation of decentralized virtual worlds where players can own, trade, and develop virtual assets. The ability to simulate real-life economic activities within these games attracts players looking for a more realistic and interactive gaming experience. Moreover, the rise of metaverse platforms, where multiple simulation games coexist, contributes to the growth of this segment.

IntroductionLow back pain (LBP) is a common health problem, and the leading cause of activity limitation and work absence among people of all ages and socioeconomic strata. This study aimed to analyse the clinical and economic burden of LBP in high income countries (HICs) via systematic review and meta-analysis.MethodsA literature search was carried out on PubMed, Medline, CINAHL, PsycINFO, AMED, and Scopus databases was from inception to March 15th, 2023. Studies that assessed the clinical and economic burden of LBP in HICs and published in English language were reviewed. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa quality assessment scale (NOS) for cohort studies. Two reviewers, using a predefined data extraction form, independently extracted data. Meta-analyses were conducted for clinical and economic outcomes.ResultsThe search identified 4,081 potentially relevant articles. Twenty-one studies that met the eligibility criteria were included and reviewed in this systematic review and meta-analysis. The included studies were from the regions of America (n = 5); Europe (n = 12), and the Western Pacific (n = 4). The average annual direct and indirect costs estimate per population for LBP ranged from € 2.3 billion to € 2.6 billion; and € 0.24 billion to $8.15 billion, respectively. In the random effects meta-analysis, the pooled annual rate of hospitalization for LBP was 3.2% (95% confidence interval 0.6%–5.7%). The pooled direct costs and total costs of LBP per patients were USD 9,231 (95% confidence interval −7,126.71–25,588.9) and USD 10,143.1 (95% confidence interval 6,083.59–14,202.6), respectively.DiscussionLow back pain led to high clinical and economic burden in HICs that varied significantly across the geographical contexts. The results of our analysis can be used by clinicians, and policymakers to better allocate resources for prevention and management strategies for LBP to improve health outcomes and reduce the substantial burden associated with the condition.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/#recordDetails?, PROSPERO [CRD42020196335].
