The demand for blockchain messaging apps in the UK is increasing

This is likely to drive market share and register a CAGR of 43.5% between 2023 and 2033.

Users benefit from blockchain messaging apps due to the high level of security they provide. Since no central server is required to store messages or serve as a relay between the sender and receiver, their messages cannot be intercepted or recorded.

The popularity of blockchain messaging apps can be attributed to decentralised end-to-end encryption technology. For example, Telegram, a messaging app that uses blockchain technology, has over 500 million users.

Increasing privacy concerns have resulted in security concerns for traditional messaging apps. Service providers control the delivery of messages end-to-end or via encryption in transit technology, while in terms of blockchain messaging, no service provider is involved.

“As smartphone penetration increases and internet use increases, the number of users of online messaging platforms is expected to increase, thereby driving blockchain messaging apps market growth”, says an analyst at Future Market Insights.
