The emergence of metaverse technology as a combination of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and interconnected digital ecosystems has led to fundamental changes in the way global trade is perceived and conducted. In this era where digitalization and globalization are intertwined, the metaverse stands out as a powerful element that could reshape the foundations of global trade. This study is a review article prepared using a literature review method within the framework of a qualitative research approach, examining the effects of the metaverse on global trade. The study evaluates academic studies, international organization reports, and current industry publications related to the subject. The content analysis revealed that the metaverse provides businesses with global access through virtual stores, digital trading platforms, and virtual fairs, and offers significant opportunities in marketing and supply chain management through data analytics and artificial intelligence integration. However, the existence of risks such as high cost requirements, legal uncertainties, and cyber security threats is also noteworthy. The findings reveal that the metaverse presents both opportunities and challenges for global trade and provide a guiding framework for policymakers and businesses.

Küresel Ticaretin Yeni Bir Boyutu: Metaverse

Yıl 2025, Cilt: 8 Sayı: 2, 141 - 152, 30.10.2025

Metaverse teknolojisinin sanal gerçeklik (VR), artırılmış gerçeklik (AR) ve birbirine bağlı dijital ekosistemlerin birleşimi olarak ortaya çıkışı, küresel ticaretin algılanma ve icra edilme biçiminde köklü değişikliklere neden olmuştur. Dijitalleşmenin küreselleşmeyle iç içe geçtiği bu dönemde, metaverse küresel ticaretin temellerini yeniden şekillendirebilecek güçlü bir unsur olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışma, nitel araştırma yaklaşımı çerçevesinde literatür incelemesi yöntemiyle hazırlanmış bir
derleme makalesi olup, metaverse’in küresel ticaret üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektedir. Araştırmada, konuya ilişkin akademik çalışmalar, uluslararası kuruluş raporları ve güncel sektörel yayınlar değerlendirilmiştir. İçerik analiziyle yapılan inceleme sonucunda, metaverse’in işletmelere sanal mağazalar, dijital ticaret platformları ve sanal fuarlar aracılığıyla küresel ölçekte erişim sağladığı; veri analitiği ve yapay zeka entegrasyonuyla pazarlama ve tedarik zinciri yönetiminde önemli fırsatlar sunduğu belirlenmiştir. Bununla birlikte, yüksek maliyet gereksinimleri, hukuki belirsizlikler ve siber güvenlik tehditleri gibi risklerin de varlığı dikkat çekmektedir. Elde edilen bulgular, metaverse’in küresel ticaret için hem fırsatlar hem de zorluklar barındırdığını ortaya koymakta ve politika yapıcılar ile işletmelere yol gösterici bir çerçeve sunmaktadır.
