The global blockchain technology market is estimated to surpass $16 billion by 2024, according to a recent report from market research firm Global Market Insights, Inc.
The report
In a Sept. 20 press release, Global Market Insights provided highlights from its 180-page-long report entitled “Blockchain Technology Market By Providers (Infrastructure Provider, Application Provider, Operators), Application (Smart Contract, Payment & Wallet, Digital Identity, Exchange, Compliance & Risk Management), End-Use (BFSI, Government, Healthcare, IT Service, Media & Entertainment, Transportation & Logistics), Regional Outlook, Competitive Market Share & Forecast 2024.”
Per the analysis, the key factor contributing to the global blockchain tech market growth will primarily be increasing adoption of blockchain by financial companies. Financial organizations will purportedly take up blockchain due to its ability to boost the efficiency of companies’ internal processes and cut the cost of operation in sectors such as trade finance, documentation and Know Your Customer.
Stakeholder segmentation of the blockchain market
A stakeholder segmentation of the blockchain market shows that application providers will see an 85% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2018 and 2024, while digital identity application will purportedly register an over 90% CAGR throughout the same period. The latter will find its driver in the attempt to resist cyberattacks.
The report further states that the government segment of the blockchain market is expected to grow by 85% CAGR over the forecast period, and the market’s share from healthcare applications will register an 85% CAGR up to 2024 as well.
