Top Impacting Factors
Growing adoption of blockchain technology in the financial sector
The growing adoption of blockchain and distributed ledger technology (DLT) in the banking and financial sectors over the past few years have led to positive growth in the blockchain technologies market. Blockchain systems enable banking and finance to create more transparent, inclusive, and stable business networks, shared operating models, more productive processes, lower costs, and new products and services. It allows for the issuance of digital securities in less time, at lower unit costs, and with greater levels of customization. As a result, digital financial instruments can be customized to meet the needs of investors, widening the market for investors, lowering issuer costs, and lowering counterparty risk. These benefits of blockchain technologies drive the overall blockchain-as-a-service market growth.
Adoption of blockchain in authentication systems
Every company has hundreds of programs and databases, and its employees use their credentials to access them every day (that is, their username and password). Since they appear to be a legitimate user, an intruder with such valid credentials can get around established security measures. According to the Verizon Data Breach study from 2019, compromised credentials were involved in more than 63 % of successful breaches. As a solution to this rapidly increasing challenge, two-factor authentication (2FA) adds another layer of security to the current credential-based device defense. Blockchain authentication services on crypto wallets further this principle by encrypting credentials using a public key.
Moreover, blockchain authentication applies to systems that validate users' access to services on Bitcoin and other digital currencies’ underlying technologies. To encrypt wallets, or instances on the blockchain where value or work is safely stored, the blockchain employs public-key cryptography (PKC). As a result, there are some fascinating parallels between blockchain technology and its application in the security sector. In addition, many organizations are using non-fungible tokens (NFT) to create unique digital items which can be used to create unique identifications of various entities. Such factors are great opportunities for the growth of the Blockchain-as-a-Service Industry.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The COVID-19 global pandemic has disrupted business-as-usual, hence, affecting sustained economic development across countries. However, economic uncertainties following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and various containment measures helped in the growth of cryptocurrencies during the period. Moreover, the growing demand for nonfungible tokens (NFTs) and the rising popularity of metaverse and virtual marketplaces, helped in supporting the demand for blockchain-based solutions during the period. In addition, the supply chain challenges during the period further enabled businesses to invest in blockchain solutions to maximize the operational efficiency of their business, driving the growth of the blockchain as a service market.
