Global Blockchain Market Size to hit $25 Bn by 2025

Blockchain Market size is slated to exceed USD 25 billion by 2025; according to a new research report by Global Market Insights Inc.
 

Blockchain technology is a digitally recorded distributed ledger where each transaction is validated by an agreement between most of the stakeholders in an organization. It permits the transfer of digital files without depending on a central monitoring entity. This allows members to prove the content of the database at a precise moment. This guarantees that all the members have a constant view of the collective database.
 

The blockchain market growth is attributed to the growing trend of Initial Coin Offering (ICOs), which intended to raise funds from investors. For instance, in 2017, the initial coin offerings have raised more than USD 2 billion with over 250 ICOs across the globe. This token can be subsequently traded on cryptocurrency exchanges. It provides early access to potential blockchain protocols and applications, encouraging investments in ICOs.

Increasing demand for the media & entertainment industry to strengthen IP rights

The media & entertainment sector in the blockchain market is projected to grow at 71% CAGR over the forecast timeline due to the growing need to strengthen IP rights on its content. The advent of blockchain technology facilitates the bypassing of platform providers, content aggregators, and other royalty collection associations significantly, shifting the market toward copyright owners. It enables content owners to generate additional revenue streams by leveraging on Consumer to Consumer (C2C) sales. This will allow the copyright owners to fully monetize on all copyright assets that are recorded using the technology. Additionally, illegal file sharing & other copyright infringements will be eliminated due to the transparency offered by the technology. However, illegal content sharing remains a major challenge in the adoption of peer-to-peer content sharing by content creators.
 

Supportive government initiatives are propelling the MEA blockchain technology market

The Middle East blockchain industry is projected to grow at 72% CAGR over the forecast timeline due to supportive government policies, which support startup growth and secure investor funds.

The new policy is intended to protect passive investors who might be exposed to such companies. The restriction will prevail for a year at first and will be subjected to further examination.
