Blockchain gaming market to reach $600 billion by 2030 — Fortune Report
According to a recent report by Fortune Business Insights, the global blockchain gaming market is set to soar to an estimated $614 billion by 2030. The study reveals a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.8%, reflecting a nearly 299% absolute growth rate over the six-year period from 2017 to 2023.
North America leads the charge
Fortune’s researchers dissected the world into five regions, with North America emerging as a powerhouse in blockchain gaming. In 2022, North America accounted for over $30 billion in blockchain game item purchases, making up approximately 24% of the total market. The report predicts that this dominance will persist, solidifying North America’s role as a key player in the expanding market.
Role-playing games (RPGs) dominate
When it comes to gaming categories, Fortune’s analysis highlights the supremacy of role-playing games (RPGs). The unique attributes of RPGs, including special characters, themes, and additional features, align seamlessly with blockchain technology, propelling them to represent over 33% of the market in 2022. This growth trend is anticipated to continue, showcasing the enduring popularity of RPGs in the blockchain gaming landscape.
Shifting trends in game platforms
While web-based blockchain games currently hold the largest segment, the report reveals a noteworthy shift towards Android-based games. This suggests a diversification in player preferences and an evolving landscape within the blockchain gaming industry. The study emphasises the dynamic nature of the market, with players exploring new platforms for an enhanced gaming experience.
Innovations amidst challenges
Despite the promising outlook, the blockchain gaming industry is not without challenges. A CoinGecko analysis reveals that more than 75% of blockchain games released between 2018 and 2023 faced difficulties or failed. However, companies like Immutable are leading the way in enhancing user experience. Immutable’s recent launch of Transak on December 11 showcases innovative solutions to simplify in-game transactions within their ecosystem.
Navigating growth and challenges in the blockchain gaming realm
As the blockchain gaming market surges towards a projected $600 billion in North America alone by 2030, industry players must navigate both unprecedented growth and challenges. The dominance of North America, the rise of RPGs, evolving platform preferences, and ongoing innovations underscore the dynamic nature of this burgeoning sector, heralding a future where blockchain technology reshapes the landscape of gaming.
