Over the past five years, there have been drastic changes in the United Kingdom's economic landscape. The booming real estate values that previously allowed real estate investment trusts (REITs) to prosper declined sharply during the financial crisis. With many REITs forced to sell at the bottom of the market, the industry still has great ground to cover to make up for the falls of 2007-08 and 2008-09.

Over the past five years, the industry has expanded substantially, with revenue estimated to grow at a compound annual rate of 26.4%.

Operators in the Immersive Technology industry design and develop immersive visualisation software programs, systems and networks. Operators subsequently sell these solutions (i.e. intellectual property) to clients under licence and may also undertake bespoke projects related to the development of immersive tech and related content on behalf of clients, generating revenue and profit by charging clients a fee. The manufacturing of tangible products on... Learn More
