Investment Thesis: Unity

Investment Thesis: Unity

Unity Software Inc. stands as a cornerstone in the modern digital creation landscape. Its technology is ubiquitous, acting as the invisible engine powering a vast swathe of interactive experiences. Estimates suggest that the Unity engine underpins approximately 70% of the top 1,000 mobile games globally and around 30% of the top 1,000 games available on the popular PC platform, Steam. This prevalence highlights its foundational role in the entertainment sector. However, Unity's influence extends far beyond gaming. Its reach is rapidly expanding into diverse industries, enabling the creation of sophisticated applications in automotive (e.g., in-car human-machine interfaces or HMIs), architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) for project visualization and collaboration, manufacturing for simulations and operational oversight, and the burgeoning field of digital twins – dynamic virtual replicas of physical assets or systems. At the heart of this expansion lies real-time 3D (RT3D) technology, a transformative force allowing for immediate, interactive rendering of complex virtual environments. Unity positions itself as a leading platform provider, enabling creators across sectors to harness the power of RT3D.
