DRIVING FACTORS

Decentralization and Security to Drive Market Growth

Features such as decentralization and security will drive blockchain technology in energy market growth. Decentralization helps eliminate the third party, and transaction data is stored in multiple computers of chain members. Additionally, all the data records are verified by blockchain members before it is attached to a block, thus securing it cryptographically. Therefore, these features maintain security and transparency, thus driving the market growth and share of blockchain technology in energy market.

Automatic Grid Management to Balance Market Supply and Demand

The automatic control of power and storage flows on the grid helps to balance the supply and demand with increasing intermittent renewable energy. This will drive the market growth as industries look to diversify their power supply and maintain centralized systems simultaneously. This technique also saves energy and supports sustainability along with saving resources. Hence, the industry's market growth is set to rise exponentially with these factors as innovations emerge in the market, thus driving growth and share.

• Decentralization and Security: Over 65% of blockchain-based energy projects leverage decentralized ledger technology to eliminate intermediaries, improve transparency, and secure transactional data (according to U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, FERC, 2023).

• Automatic Grid Management: Around ~30% of utility companies are implementing blockchain-enabled grid management solutions to balance intermittent renewable energy generation and supply-demand fluctuations (according to International Renewable Energy Agency, IRENA, 2023).

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Lack of regulations in the Market to Hamper Growth

A lack of regulations in the global blockchain technology market may impede market growth and act as a barrier to adopting the technology. Regulations are needed to manage decentralized energy systems, regulate electricity tariffs, and manage transactions, disputes, and reversals. The absence of these features will lead to obstacles in adopting the technology. An integrated smart grid for members to optimize blockchain technology used in the energy sector is also required. Hence, investors must consider these factors before investing in blockchain technology in energy sector.

• Lack of Unified Regulations: Nearly 60% of emerging energy markets lack standardized regulations for blockchain adoption, slowing the deployment of distributed energy solutions (according to IEA, 2023).

• High Implementation Complexity: Around ~35% of energy firms report challenges in integrating blockchain with legacy grid infrastructure, limiting market expansion (according to U.S. Department of Energy, DOE, 2023).
