Blockchain in Telecom Market to Grow 74.8% CAGR, Reach $80 Billion by 2033

The global blockchain in the telecom market is set to converge USD 80 billion by 2033blooms at 74.8% CAGR from 2023 to 2033.

The telecommunications industry is known for reinventing itself. Landlines were the main product of telecom companies in the early periods; but with the introduction of the mobile phone this changed to mobile subscriptions and SMS (Short Message Service). In recent years, many telecom companies’ primary source of revenue has shifted from calls to data, necessitating a new shift in their business model. With every company becoming a data organization, there is great opportunity for the telecommunications industry to reinvent itself again, thanks to blockchain.

A blockchain is a public electronic ledger distributed to shareholders in a network that records all transactions between two or more parties. Telecom companies can use blockchain technology to improve data integrity, security, inspection and fraud prevention.

One of the main aspects driving the market expansion is growing security concerns among telecom companies worldwide. Blockchain in telecom provides greater security by encrypting all transactions with cryptography. Furthermore, the growing need for smart contracts is driving the market expansion. Blockchain is widely used to automate the implementation of an agreement with preset conditions.

Moreover, technological improvements such as incorporation of AI and IoT with connected devices are increasing the market expansion. These technologies allow smart devices to transfer data while creating tamper-proof records of shared transactions. Other reasons, including the incorporation of blockchain solutions for development of 5G technology and the growing adoption of blockchain-centric mobile wallet payments, is expected to drive the market forward.
