By Organisation size, the SME’s to register the highest growth rate during the forecast period

The blockchain market has been segmented by organization size into SMEs and large enterprises. These organizations are categorized based on the number of employees working with them and on global standards. Enterprises of all sizes across the globe are focusing on the blockchain technology to revolutionize the traditional systems in their infrastructure and enhance the customer experience. With the growing need to improve business efficiencies and maintain transparency in the business process, SMEs and large enterprises are focusing on leveraging advanced blockchain solutions for various applications, such as smart contracts, payments, compliance management, supply chain management, and loyalty and rewards management.

Organizations with less than 1,000 employees are categorized as SMEs. SMEs face several disadvantages, including high barriers to entry and lower protection from market conditions. The cost of operation is high due to the requirement of several intermediaries for trading across regions, which limits the growth of SMEs with limited resources. The blockchain technology can prove to be an asset in such scenarios, enabling an enterprise to reduce its cost by eliminating these intermediaries. Another area where SMEs can take advantage of the blockchain technology in their basic day-to-day operations is manual or semi-automatic processes, including invoicing, inventory, and payroll. For instance, smart contracts, a critical capability offered by the blockchain solution can prove to be more economical, helping SMEs streamline their operations cost-effectively and at a faster rate.
