Blockchain Interoperability Market Size, Share, and Industry Analysis, By Solution (Cross-chain Bridges, Cross-chain APIs, Federated or Consortium Blockchain, and Others); By Application (dApps, Digital Assets/NETs, Cross-chain Trading & Exchange, and Cross-chain Messaging & Data Sharing); By Industry (BFSI, Healthcare, Gaming & Entertainment, IT & Telecommunication, Food & Agriculture, and Others); and Regional Forecast, 2025-2032

Blockchain interoperability refers to the capability of different blockchain networks to communicate seamlessly with one another. The bedrock of this interoperability lies in cross-chain messaging protocols, which facilitate the exchange of data between blockchains. These protocols enable the development of cross-chain decentralized applications (dApps), allowing for unified functionality across various smart contracts deployed on different blockchains. As we navigate an increasingly data-driven landscape, concerns around data security and privacy loom large. Blockchain interoperability emerges as a solution to enable the secure exchange of data and assets across disparate blockchain networks.

The market is driven by many factors including the imperative for smooth communication and data exchange between blockchain networks, increased dApp adoption, cross-chain asset transfers, regulatory compliance needs, and ecosystem development. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the blockchain interoperability market has been twofold. While global economic disruptions have led to budget constraints and reduced investments, potentially slowing down the adoption of interoperability solutions, the crisis underscored the urgency of digital transformation and secure data exchange, driving demand for such solutions. Moreover, sectors such as healthcare and supply chain management witnessed accelerated blockchain adoption, fuelling the demand for interoperability solutions to meet transparency and traceability requirements.

Furthermore, the expanding Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem increases product demand, enabling secure communication among IoT devices across blockchain networks. For instance,

• In October 2023, Vodafone's Digital Asset Broker (DAB) and Chainlink Labs joined forces to tackle challenges within the global trade ecosystem. Leveraging Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), the partnership aimed to enhance security and interoperability for Internet of Things (IoT) devices on the edge of networks.
