New Report: NFT Market To Grow 20x by 2030 to $231.98B

Share

Verified Market Research recently published a report, “Non-Fungible Tokens Market” which looked at the global non-fungible-tokens (NFT) markets.

The in-depth analysis shows that NFT market size was valued at USD 11.32 Billion in 2021 and is expected to grow 20x to reach USD 231.98 Billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 33.7% from 2022 to 2030.

One of the main reasons for the exponential rise in NFT demand is that NFTs have expanded their horizons beyond music, films, and sports to include other streams such as Metaverse and, in particular, gaming. Enjin, for example, was one of the first big gaming firms to combine blockchain technology with its infrastructure and issue ENJ, a gaming cryptocurrency that is officially whitelisted for use in Japan, in 2017. By transforming in-game assets into NFTs, gamers can generate cash from them in-game assets.

According to Forbes, Axie Infinity saw surge in user growth in the Philippines after providing gamers with an alternative source of money during the pandemic. As a result, the gaming industry has established itself as a huge growth prospect for NFT, particularly the play-to-earn blockchain gaming model. However, there is a threat of duplication of genuine works, such as images, photographs, music pieces, etc. Without the consent of the creator, such duplicated assets can be personalized and spread online very easily. This is restraining the baseline of the Non-Fungible Tokens Market.

Key Developments

In March 2022, The Sandbox partnered with the first of its kind NFT community, World of Women, to provide them with grand funding of USD 25 million to amplify the representation of women in the digital spaces.
