Blockchain is ready for business
Blockchain has now become a fact of life. In our “Time for Trust” report, we predict and show how the blockchain technology will accelerate growth in industry and economy in the near future. It is one of the most exciting technologies to arrive after the internet. Blockchain has the potential to bring fundamental changes in the corporate world, in economic processes and even in society as a whole. The possibilities are diverse and the potential applications encompass many sectors.
According to the assessment of PwC economists, blockchain has the potential to boost global economic output by US$ 1.76 billion by 2030. Furthermore, experts anticipate that the technology will be used by the majority of companies around the world in the next five years.
The blockchain technology may have initially emerged from cryptocurrencies and spread to the financial services sector, but today it is changing business models, from supply chains and the retail sector through to healthcare. This technology can solve problems that affect all organizations as it enhances major topics that are also key areas of focus for PwC: transparency, security and trust in transactions.
