The blockchain technologies market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size of blockchain technologies has seen substantial growth in the past few years. A growth from $20.65 billion in 2024 to $31.73 billion in 2025 is projected, which equals a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 53.6%.
Factors contributing to this growth during the historical period include the acceptance and transactions of cryptocurrency, transparency and traceability in supply chains, the implementation of smart contracts and automation, the facilitation of cross-border payments and remittances, as well as digital identification and authentication.
The blockchain technologies market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of blockchain technologies is projected to experience a significant surge in the coming years, escalating to $159.53 billion in 2029 with a CAGR of 49.7%.
This growth for the forecasted period is primarily due to the evolution of decentralized finance (DEFI), non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and digital assets, application of blockchain in healthcare for enhanced data security, and considerations for environmental, social, and governance (ESG), combined with integration with the internet of things (IoT). Noteworthy trends expected during the forecast period involve the utilization of blockchain in supply chain management, adoption by government and institutional bodies, the emergence of layer 2 scaling solutions, collaborations across different industries and tokenization of assets.
The bullish outlook for the blockchain technologies market can be attributed to positive governmental actions towards blockchain. Governments from developed and growing economies are concentrating on creating guidelines and structures for the incorporation of blockchain. A case in point is when the Indian Government, in January 2023, inaugurated a blockchain program in association with 5ire, an Indian blockchain platform, and Network Capital, a mentorship and vocation exploration platform based in India, with the objective to stimulate innovation and entrepreneurial drive within the country. Consequently, these commendable government initiatives are projected to increase the demand for blockchain technologies in the future.

An upward trend in blockchain technology investment is being observed from diverse business sectors due to the high data management efficiency it promises. Major industries such as healthcare, finance, digital assets, and even numerous governmental departments, have seen notable growth in the utilization of this technology. Big names like VISA, Facebook, Microsoft, and Amazon are early adopters of blockchain, integrating it into their operational methodologies. Blockchain lends itself to the creation of smart contracts that expedite payment processes and offer support in stock exchange investments. In a significant move in September 2024, the Indian government, spurred on by S. Krishnan, the Secretary of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), instigated the Vishvasya-Blockchain Technology Stack. This was part of an initiative to encourage Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS) within a distributed framework, aimed at bolstering security, transparency, and trust in digital services for citizens.
