According to a recent report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Blockchain Distributed Ledger Market by Component, Type, Enterprise Size, Application and End User: Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2020–2027,” the global blockchain distributed ledger market size was valued at $2.89 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $137.29 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 62.7% from 2020 to 2027.

Blockchain distributed ledger technology is a decentralized database that stores and records different types of resources and transactions across a peer-to-peer network. Transactions are protected through cryptography, and over time, the transaction history gets locked in blocks of data that are then cryptographically linked together and secured. This creates an unforgettable, unassailable record of all of data transactions across the network. There is an increase in the demand for blockchain distributed ledger technology among consumers, as it is reducing the time required to transfer data. Further, it helps remove the need of third parties in business deals, offers improved capital optimization, and provides better security measurement.

The key factors that drive the growth of the global blockchain distributed ledger market trends include rise in adoption of distributed ledger among various large & medium size enterprises to surge their revenue opportunity and increase in awareness toward blockchain distributed ledger applications among various industries drive the growth of the global blockchain distributed ledger market. In addition, low risk of data fraudulent activities and less cost of blockchain distributed ledger applications propel the growth of the market. However, lack of awareness of cryptocurrency among the people in developing nations are expected to hamper the market growth. On the contrary, integration of Internet of Things (IoT) in blockchain distributed ledgers is projected to have a definite impact on the growth of the blockchain distributed ledger market.
