Technology in the Blockchain Market is Expected to Grow

Technology in the Blockchain Market is Expected to Grow

According to data published by Grand View Research, Inc. the global blockchain technology market is expected to reach USD 7.59 billion by 2024, at a 37.2% CAGR during the forecast period.

The optimistic projections are the result of a growing demand for this technology from a variety of industries, including financial services, consumer or industrial products, media and telecommunications, healthcare, transportation, as well as public sectors. The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) defines blockchain technology as a secure database, or ledger, spread across multiple computers. All users have the same record of all transactions. “Crypto” describes the cryptography that underlies it, which allows agents to securely interact, and transfer assets, for example.

Last year, IBM outlined the potential uses of blockchain technology in the supply chain of cannabis sales. According to the proposal, “Blockchain is rapidly becoming a world leading technology enabling the assured exchange of value in both digital and tangible assets, while protecting privacy and eliminating fraud. Its relevance to regulating cannabis is similar to its many chain of custody applications in areas such as pharmaceutical distribution and food chains. The core to those supply chains is the same, assuring health and safety of consumers, preventing fraud and counterfeiting while creating a foundation of transparency upon which to base regulation.”
