The increasing demand for blockchain in various industries and the public sector is expected to propel the growth of the market. As a decentralized database, blockchain has been foundational for cryptocurrencies, finding its primary application in financial services for facilitating safe, secure, and transparent digital transactions. Companies like Circle and BitPesa utilize blockchain technology for international payments. Its applications have now expanded to sectors such as supply chain management, healthcare, and government. Notably, Dubai has implemented blockchain technology for all government-related financial transactions, making it the first government to operate on a blockchain system. For instance, in September 2024, Beauhurst reported that there are 546 active and dormant companies in the UK's blockchain sector. As this industry continues to develop, a significant 60.4% of these companies are classified as being in the seed stage, while 20.6% are in the venture stage, and only 3.0% have reached the growth stage. The majority of these firms (86.8%) focus on creating application software, with 33.7% also involved in the fintech industry. Therefore, the rising demand for blockchain across various sectors is anticipated to drive the growth of the blockchain market.

The increasing adoption of Bitcoin is expected to drive the growth of the blockchain market in the future. Bitcoin is a decentralized digital cryptocurrency that operates on a peer-to-peer network, facilitating secure and transparent transactions without the need for a central authority. Blockchain serves as the foundational technology behind Bitcoin, acting as a distributed and immutable ledger that records all Bitcoin transactions. This technology provides transparency, security, and trust within the cryptocurrency network, enabling the creation and verification of new transaction blocks, the issuance of new bitcoins, and ensuring the integrity and decentralization of the entire Bitcoin ecosystem. For instance, in September 2024, Security Org, an online reviewer of security products, reported that the percentage of Americans owning cryptocurrency increased from 30% in 2023 to 40% in 2024, contributing to a total of 93 million people. Therefore, the rising adoption of Bitcoin is significantly driving the growth of the blockchain market.

A notable trend shaping the blockchain market is the emergence of federated blockchain, also known as consortium blockchain. This private permission type of blockchain grants access to multiple entities through voting or token systems while maintaining decentralization through the prior selection of authority nodes. Companies such as Devon Energy Corporation have joined blockchain consortia, such as Blockchain For Energy, to advance transaction, record, and data management through collaborative development of new technologies.

Major players in the blockchain market are concentrating on innovative technologies and products, such as ConnectionChain technology, to enhance the security of cross-border transactions. ConnectionChain facilitates the automatic execution of a single-consistent transaction by connecting multiple blockchains through a smart contract extension. For example, Fujitsu Limited launched ConnectionChain technology to build Web3 services, providing flexible and secure connectivity across multiple economies.
