Blockchain gaming market projected to be worth $65.7 billion by 2027

The global blockchain gaming market is projected to grow from 4.6 billion in 2022 to 65.7 billion by 2027 according to a new report by MarketsandMarkets.

This growth trajectory is suspected to boom due to an increase in funding toward blockchain games. The BNB Chain, the result of a merge between Binance Chain and Binance Smart chain is projected to grow at the highest CAGR (compound annual growth rate) during the forecast period. Binance is able to support blockchain projects through its tools which help integrate smart contracts and dapps along with its inexpensive and efficient DeFi transactions.

During the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is set to account for the largest market size. With the regions, current developers, and upcoming creatives this region is shaping up to be one of the key markets in blockchain gaming. With approximately 3 billion gamers worldwide, the Asia Pacific region accounts for almost half of it. A dominant part of the market also stems from the competitive Asian esports market which is also projected to see continued growth over the coming years.
