**2.6 million MetaHumans**
For a start, we saw the digital human population increase significantly, with creators producing 2.6 million MetaHumans to date.
The MetaHuman plugin was installed 68,000 times, and there were 406,000 new MetaHuman users in 2022.
The huge uptake we saw in people using MetaHuman correlates with the wider picture in the industry, with the global digital human avatar market size expected to reach $527.58 billion in 2030 (up $10.03 billion in 2020).
. . .
A case in point was the launch of **Human Park**, which leverages both Unreal Engine and the MetaHuman framework. Human Park is a next-generation Web3 experienceâ??a decentralized gaming platform where users can customize avatars with fully interoperable NFT wearables and season-specific icons.
Similarly, real-time avatar creation environment and marketplace **HUMXN** give users access to the HUMXN metaverse: an Unreal Engine-powered creation environment where users can dress, pose, customize, and snap photos of MetaHuman-based avatars.
