I recently came across a forward-looking study by McKinsey, and the data is quite stunning.

They predict that by 2040, 18 potential sectors will enter an explosive growth phase. These fields are expected to generate a total revenue of $29 trillion to $48 trillion, with profits ranging from $2 trillion to $6 trillion. More importantly, this portion of revenue may account for 18% to 34% of the global GDP’s incremental growth.

What does this percentage mean? It means that in the next decade or so, nearly one-third of wealth growth could be concentrated in these sectors.

Whether it’s for career planning or asset allocation, getting a head start in these areas might be a good choice. After all, once a trend forms, the difference between early and late entry can be significant.

I think it's just another "big pancake" study; no matter how big the number is, it depends on who is eating it. How to choose from 18 tracks—that's the real key. --- 29 to 48 trillion sounds crazy, but only those who can truly make money will benefit. --- Getting in early definitely has advantages, but the premise is knowing where to go. --- This McKinsey report is meant for large institutions to do their homework; retail investors will still be confused after reading it. --- The key is whether these tracks will really explode in the future; having just data models is useless. --- One-third of wealth is concentrated? What about the other two-thirds? It's still eaten up by inflation. --- Instead of looking at these macro predictions, it's better to see which sectors are currently on the rise. --- It's fine to plan, but don't go all-in on a single track; diversification is better than anything else.

I've seen quite a few predictive reports from McKinsey, and their accuracy isn't much better than flipping a coin. 18 tracks, 29 to 48 trillion... just how outrageous does the range of these numbers have to be for people to feel reassured?

Damn, those numbers are a bit scary, 29 to 48 trillion? Feels like another "looks about right" report.

Bro, these numbers are a bit wild—29 to 48 trillion? Feels like they're just making promises, but it's definitely something to pay attention to. Quick, find out what those 18 sectors are. Just hearing about it makes me want to jump in. How much of this will Web3 take up? There should be a share, right?

I read this McKinsey report, and the numbers are indeed ambitious... But honestly, how many of these macro predictions actually come true in the end? History tells us the answer is often pretty harsh. $29-48 trillion sounds amazing, but the real question is how to get a share of it for yourself—that's what really matters.

Damn, is this data for real? 2 trillion in profits? If I had known earlier, I would have gone all in.

The numbers in this McKinsey report are indeed impressive, but the question is what exactly are these 18 sectors? Is there a specific list? I always feel that this kind of macro prediction is only accurate in hindsight. There's a clear difference between entering early and late, but the premise is that you have to choose the right sector. Otherwise, getting in early just means you'll be the one getting rekt.

I really like these bold predictions from McKinsey, but to be honest, these numbers sound like they're just telling a story... $29 trillion? Seriously? There's a big difference between getting in early and getting in late, that's true, but the question is, who actually knows which 18 sectors are the real deal? Sounds good, but what I care more about is: do these predictions include crypto and Web3?
