Key trends expected during this period include the integration of VR and brain-computer interfaces (BCI) for rehabilitation, the incorporation of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in production site monitoring, the launch of innovative products, and strategic collaborations.
The growing demand for virtual agents is expected to fuel the expansion of the digital immortality market in the coming years. Virtual agents are AI-driven software that simulate human-like interactions, often used in customer support, sales, or service roles. The rising demand for virtual agents is largely due to the increasing need for round-the-clock customer support, cost efficiency, and instant, personalized service in both business and consumer settings. Virtual agents contribute to digital immortality by replicating an individual's voice, personality, and behavior, enabling them to interact and exist digitally even after death, thus creating a lasting digital legacy. For example, according to Gartner, Inc., a U.S.-based IT service management company, it is expected that by 2027, 25% of organizations will rely on chatbots as their primary customer service channel, reflecting a shift toward their core role in support strategies. As such, the growing demand for virtual agents is a significant driver of the digital immortality market.
The rising demand for personalized digital experiences is set to accelerate the growth of the digital immortality market. Personalized digital experiences involve adapting digital interactions based on individual user data, preferences, and behaviors, thereby creating more engaging and relevant content or services. This shift is largely driven by consumers' desire for tailored interactions that enhance engagement. Digital immortality supports personalized experiences by preserving and analyzing an individual's digital footprint, which helps create more precise, long-term personalization based on their preferences, actions, and past interactions. For instance, according to Idomoo, an Israel-based software company, the interest in customizable user videos was 72% in 2023 and increased to 77% in 2024. Therefore, the increasing demand for personalized digital experiences is expected to propel the digital immortality market forward.
Leading companies in the digital immortality market are focusing on the development of advanced technologies, such as digital AI clones, to offer personalized virtual avatars that replicate individual personalities, memories, and behaviors.

For instance, in June 2024, Sensay Inc., a U.S.-based technology company, launched lifelike AI replicas, revolutionary tools for preserving human legacies. These replicas enable digital interactions with personalized counterparts, reshaping the concept of immortality. They preserve human knowledge and personality, offering 24/7 availability for personalized interactions and legacy preservation.
