The global blockchain gaming market is predicted to experience significant growth, potentially reaching $614 billion within the next seven years, according to a mid-December analysis by Fortune Business Insights. This projection represents a growth rate of nearly 300% from the current market value of $154 billion.
The report reveals a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.8% and indicates a growing market, set to break records by 2030. North America currently leads in blockchain game item purchases, contributing over $30 billion in 2022 alone, accounting for approximately 24% of the global market share. This dominance is expected to continue in the future.
Role-playing games (RPGs) are at the forefront of this growth, accounting for over 33% of the market in 2022. While web-based blockchain games currently dominate, Android-based games are on the rise, indicating a shift in gaming trends.
Despite challenges such as the high failure rate of blockchain games, the overall trajectory for blockchain gaming is overwhelmingly positive. Driven by the rising popularity of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) and increasing adoption of blockchain in gaming, the sector is witnessing a significant upswing, with North America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region expected to be key players in this growth.
