Improvements in the use of blockchain technology, increased awareness among businesses about the advantages of smart contracts and ongoing development of new application cases across various sectors are likely to contribute to growth.

Market Dynamics

Key Drivers:

  • Growing adoption of Blockchain technology.

The main factors driving this expansion are the demand for decentralised finance, increasing efficiency, reduced costs and growth in adoption of blockchain technology. Smart contracts are underpinned by the use of Blockchain technology, which is becoming popular as companies seek to make their data and transactions more secure, efficient in ways that allow for transparency.

  • Smart contracts are growing as the Internet of Things becomes more integrated

  • Savings in costs and time

intelligent contracts streamline manual processes that reduce the need for intermediaries and paperwork. The result is savings in costs and faster processing times for transactions. The potential for simplification of operations, minimising human errors and speeding up business processes attracts organizations to intelligent contracts.

Restraints:

  • Issue of scalability

 The main challenge in market expansion is to ensure the sustainability of smart contracts. The increasing network size and the volume of transactions is expected to lead to a slower processing time and higher transaction costs, which will also create congestion problems.

Opportunities:

  • Increasing demand for decentralisation applications

The growing popularity of decentralised applications developed on Blockchain Platforms is leading to the adoption of Smart Contracts. By automating the implementation of code and enhancing trust and transparency in decentralised ecosystem interactions, intelligent contracts will allow DApps to be used. The growth of the Smart Contract market is driven by demand for digital applications in various sectors.

  • The development of user-friendly interfaces

The simplification of the user experience and the creation of user-friendly interfaces for the development and implementation of smart contracts can lead to wider adoption. Individuals and businesses can be encouraged to engage in intelligent contracts and build a wider user base through simple, user friendly tools and platforms requiring no coding experience.

Challenges:

  • Lack of standardisation

 It can be a challenge to lack standardised frameworks for the development of Smart Contracts. The area of interoperability between different blockchain platforms and the ability to communicate and execute smart contracts across networks is still developing. When integrating or moving Smart Contracts between Platforms, the lack of standardisation could lead to difficulties.

  • Privacy and data protection

Impact of Economic Slowdown:

Smart contracts can facilitate peer-to-peer lending and crowdfunding through decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. This can provide individuals and businesses with alternative sources of capital during an economic downturn when traditional lending may be restricted. While automation through smart contracts can increase efficiency, it may also lead to job displacement in certain sectors. During an economic slowdown, the displacement of jobs could exacerbate unemployment rates and contribute to the overall economic downturn.

This efficiency can lead to cost reductions for businesses, which may help mitigate the effects of an economic slowdown by improving profit margins. Increased Transparency and Trust of Smart contracts and executed on a blockchain, providing transparency and immutability of transactions. This increased transparency can foster trust among parties involved in transactions, potentially stimulating economic activity during a slowdown as parties feel more secure engaging in transactions.

Impact of Russia Ukraine War:

By affecting financial markets, risk management and supply chains, the Russia Ukraine crisis has had a significant impact on global markets, including the smart contract market. The crisis has resulted in a rise of tensions and disruption to global supply chains, which is also affecting markets based on digital contracts and technologies. As the crisis created a high degree of uncertainty that could affect investment decisions and market stability, finance markets have been hit by it. As investors and companies become more cautious in their approach to new technologies and digital contracts, this uncertainty may have an impact on the adoption and development of smart contracts. In the wake of the crisis, risk management has become an essential focus for firms. The priority of businesses is now to prepare more robust scenarios, investigate new and expected risks, reduce costs as well as plan for divestments where necessary. In view of the stability and security of digital transactions, such focus on risk management is essential for a Smart Contract Market. Innovation and adoption of smarter contracts can be stimulated by the need to develop strong risk management strategies. The importance of supply chain resilience has also been underlined in the crisis.

Russia and Ukraine are major suppliers of commodities and raw materials that have seen a sharp increase in prices since the start of the war. This will have implications for industries that rely on these materials, such as those using smart contracts to manage supply chains and logistics. As a tool for increasing transparency in the supply chain, the disruption of supply chains may lead to increased interest in smart contracts. the Russia-Ukraine crisis has impacted the smart contracts market by influencing financial market conditions, emphasizing the importance of risk management, and affecting supply chains. As businesses seek innovative solutions to cope with the complexity brought about by the crisis, these factors could lead to both challenges and opportunities within the smart contract market.

An accurate research report requires proper strategizing as well as implementation. There are multiple factors involved in the completion of good and accurate research report and selecting the best methodology to compete the research is the toughest part. Since the research reports we provide play a crucial role in any company’s decision-making process, therefore we at SNS Insider always believe that we should choose the best method which gives us results closer to reality. This allows us to reach at a stage wherein we can provide our clients best and accurate investment to output ratio.

Each report that we prepare takes a timeframe of 350-400 business hours for production. Starting from the selection of titles through a couple of in-depth brain storming session to the final QC process before uploading our titles on our website we dedicate around 350 working hours. The titles are selected based on their current market cap and the foreseen CAGR and growth.

 

The 5 steps process:

Step 1: Secondary Research:

Secondary Research or Desk Research is as the name suggests is a research process wherein, we collect data through the readily available information. In this process we use various paid and unpaid databases which our team has access to and gather data through the same. This includes examining of listed companies’ annual reports, Journals, SEC filling etc. Apart from this our team has access to various associations across the globe across different industries. Lastly, we have exchange relationships with various university as well as individual libraries.

Secondary Research

Step 2: Primary Research

When we talk about primary research, it is a type of study in which the researchers collect relevant data samples directly, rather than relying on previously collected data.  This type of research is focused on gaining content specific facts that can be sued to solve specific problems. Since the collected data is fresh and first hand therefore it makes the study more accurate and genuine.

We at SNS Insider have divided Primary Research into 2 parts.

Part 1 wherein we interview the KOLs of major players as well as the upcoming ones across various geographic regions. This allows us to have their view over the market scenario and acts as an important tool to come closer to the accurate market numbers. As many as 45 paid and unpaid primary interviews are taken from both the demand and supply side of the industry to make sure we land at an accurate judgement and analysis of the market.

This step involves the triangulation of data wherein our team analyses the interview transcripts, online survey responses and observation of on filed participants. The below mentioned chart should give a better understanding of the part 1 of the primary interview.

Primary Research

Part 2: In this part of primary research the data collected via secondary research and the part 1 of the primary research is validated with the interviews from individual consultants and subject matter experts.

Consultants are those set of people who have at least 12 years of experience and expertise within the industry whereas Subject Matter Experts are those with at least 15 years of experience behind their back within the same space. The data with the help of two main processes i.e., FGDs (Focused Group Discussions) and IDs (Individual Discussions). This gives us a 3rd party nonbiased primary view of the market scenario making it a more dependable one while collation of the data pointers.

Step 3: Data Bank Validation

Once all the information is collected via primary and secondary sources, we run that information for data validation. At our intelligence centre our research heads track a lot of information related to the market which includes the quarterly reports, the daily stock prices, and other relevant information. Our data bank server gets updated every fortnight and that is how the information which we collected using our primary and secondary information is revalidated in real time.

Data Bank Validation

Step 4: QA/QC Process

After all the data collection and validation our team does a final level of quality check and quality assurance to get rid of any unwanted or undesired mistakes. This might include but not limited to getting rid of the any typos, duplication of numbers or missing of any important information. The people involved in this process include technical content writers, research heads and graphics people. Once this process is completed the title gets uploader on our platform for our clients to read it.

Step 5: Final QC/QA Process:

This is the last process and comes when the client has ordered the study. In this process a final QA/QC is done before the study is emailed to the client. Since we believe in giving our clients a good experience of our research studies, therefore, to make sure that we do not lack at our end in any way humanly possible we do a final round of quality check and then dispatch the study to the client.
