Research Predicts Explosive NFT Global Boom @ 35%
Trends for the next five years, have predicted a global NFT boom that is likely to continue in the growing interest of mainstream influencers, gaming communities and the rising demand for digital artworks.
Reflecting the growing attention in the nonfungible token (NFT) space among today’s investors, new research predicts that the existing $3 billion market size will reach $13.6 billion by the end of 2027.
Interestingly enough, research firm Markets and Markets envisions several other factors that will contribute to the explosive growth of the NFT market, including its increasing benefit in supply chain management, retail and fashion.
Some of the other catalysts well-positioned to further speed up the growth of the NFT market are metaverse initiatives by exisiting market leaders such as social media giant Meta and the personalisation of NFTs.
In November 2021, Cointelegraph reported on the rising interest from Asia-Pacific (APAC) investors as local NFT-related Google searches surged in the region. Markets and Markets, too, had cited this trend:
“APAC countries are emerging toward constant developments and marketplace launches in the given market to give creators and buyers equal opportunities in the ecosystem.”
One of the key factors associated to the rise in NFT searches in countries like Hong Kong, Singapore and China is the lack of regulatory acceptance for crypto trading or mining.
NFT marketplaces, platforms that allow investors to purchase and sell NFTs are currently expected to contribute the highest to the growth of the NFT ecosystem. While existing players like OpenSea now lead this space, crypto exchanges like Coinbase and Binance have started offering similar services for exchanging NFTs in the open market.
