LONDON – According to The Business Research Company’s research on the blockchain distributed ledger market, an increase in investments in private blockchain distributed ledger technology across the globe is expected to propel the growth of the blockchain distributed ledger market going forward. A blockchain distributed ledger is a digital ledger database of all transactions used in financial services spread across numerous nodes, computers, organizations, or nations and is accessible and controlled by one or more businesses all over the world. The private blockchain distributed ledger technology offers advantages such as permission blockchain access, full privacy for data transactions, centralised process, less energy, reduced transaction costs, and data redundancies, simplified document handling, and getting rid of semi-manual compliance mechanisms. For instance, in June 2022, Binance Labs, a UK-based venture capital firm, invested US $500 million in funds for blockchain, Web3.0 start-ups, and value-building technologies. The investment is intended for initiatives to advance the adoption of blockchain technologies and expand the use cases for cryptocurrencies. Therefore, an increase in investments in private blockchain distributed ledger technology is driving the growth of the blockchain distributed ledger industry.
The global blockchain distributed ledger industry size is expected to grow from $5.43 billion in 2021 to $8.84 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 63.0%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, effecting many markets across the globe. The blockchain distributed ledger market share is expected to reach $62.21 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 62.9%.
Technological developments are a key trend gaining popularity in the blockchain distributed ledger industry. Major market players are concentrating their efforts on implementing the internet of things (IoT) and technologically advanced solutions in various end-use industries that aid in enhancing transparency and reducing costs by removing processing overheads. For instance, in February 2020, Hedera, a US-based developer of consensus data structures alternative to blockchain, developed a distributed ledger technology based on the Hedera Hashgraph consensus algorithm that provides organisations all around the world with the accessibility benefits of an open public network as well as the technological capabilities to safely provide enormous quantities of quicker and less expensive transactions.
