The blockchain supply chain market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.28 billion in 2023 to $2.04 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 59.7%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the increase in counterfeit products, greater adoption of blockchain technology in the automotive industry, growing use of blockchain for inventory management, the expansion of blockchain applications in logistics, and the rising demand for resilient supply chains.
The blockchain supply chain market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $13.33 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 59.9%. The anticipated growth during the forecast period can be attributed to a focus on sustainable and ethical sourcing, emphasis on risk management, the need to reduce operational costs, the demand for real-time monitoring of supply chain activities, and improvements in supplier relationship management. Key trends driving this growth include a shift toward decentralized supply chain models, anti-counterfeiting solutions, integration of AI with blockchain technology, the use of digital twins, and innovations in blockchain security.
The rise in cyber-attack incidents is anticipated to drive the growth of the blockchain supply chain market in the future. Cyber-attacks involve deliberate attempts to breach digital systems to steal, modify, or damage data. These attacks often exploit system vulnerabilities, weak security measures, and human errors, with malicious actors aiming for unauthorized access or disruption. Blockchain technology offers a decentralized and tamper-proof ledger that enhances supply chain security by securely recording all transactions. For example, the 2023 Data Breach Report from the Identity Theft Resource Center, a US-based non-profit, revealed that newly discovered cyber vulnerabilities increased by 1,620 percent in the first three quarters of 2023, reaching 86 compared to only 5 for the entire year of 2022. Thus, the rise in cyber-attacks is fueling the growth of the blockchain supply chain market.
Key players in the blockchain supply chain market are focusing on developing advanced technologies such as Hyperledger to improve supply chain transparency, security, and efficiency. Hyperledger is an open-source blockchain framework that supports the creation of enterprise-grade blockchain applications, offering a customizable and modular infrastructure for secure and transparent transactions. For instance, in October 2022, BASF SE, a Germany-based chemical company, introduced Seed 2 Sew, a blockchain platform utilizing Hyperledger technology. This platform enables partners in the cotton value chain to digitally record and approve each step, bridging the historical information gap between farmers and the textile industry. This initiative aims to boost sustainability and lower the carbon footprint associated with cotton garment production.
