Global Blockchain Government Market Size study & Forecast, by Government Function (Identity and Access Management, Land Registry, Supply Chain Management, Taxation and Revenue, Voting and Elections, E-Government Services), Blockchain Type (Public, Private

The Global Blockchain Government Market was valued at approximately USD 5.93 billion in 2024 and is poised to grow at a robust CAGR of 15.51% during the forecast period 2025-2035. Blockchain, once considered an experimental technology for digital currencies, has now become a pivotal enabler for government operations across multiple domains. By embedding immutable transparency into critical government functions such as taxation, voting, and public registries, blockchain has begun to reconfigure how citizens engage with state institutions. This evolution is not simply about digitization but about redefining trust between governments and citizens in an era where cybersecurity threats and fraud risks have escalated. The surge of investments from global governments to streamline e-governance platforms and enhance cross-border collaborations is shaping the momentum for blockchain adoption.

The accelerating demand for efficient, transparent, and tamper-proof governance frameworks has propelled the rise of blockchain-powered government platforms. Growing challenges around identity fraud, opaque procurement practices, and inefficiencies in land registry systems have amplified the urgency for transformative solutions. According to the World Bank, more than 1 billion people worldwide lack a formal identity, creating an enormous opportunity for blockchain-driven Identity and Access Management solutions to bridge this gap. Moreover, as digital economies expand, governments are under immense pressure to introduce secure taxation and revenue collection mechanisms, which blockchain can reinforce with immutable ledgers. While opportunities are abundant, the market faces challenges such as interoperability issues and the reluctance of traditional administrative structures to adopt radical technological reforms.

Identity and Access Management to Dominate the Market

Among all government functions, Identity and Access Management (IAM) is projected to dominate the blockchain government market over the forecast period. The need to establish secure, verifiable, and tamper-resistant identity frameworks for citizens is at the forefront of government digitalization initiatives. As the world transitions towards integrated digital economies, blockchain-powered IAM solutions are proving indispensable for preventing fraud, supporting cross-border digital services, and enabling inclusive financial participation. Governments are rapidly deploying blockchain systems to authenticate identities in e-governance portals, streamline immigration processes, and strengthen digital voting ecosystems. The dominance of IAM stems from its ability to serve as the foundation of every other government function that relies on citizen verification.

Public Blockchain Leading in Revenue Contribution

When examined by blockchain type, public blockchain networks currently generate the largest share of revenue in government applications. This leadership is driven by their open, decentralized nature, which fosters unparalleled transparency, accountability, and auditability in government operations. While permissioned and private blockchains are gaining traction due to their controlled access and compliance benefits, public blockchains remain the frontrunners in high-stakes functions such as elections, land registries, and public procurement. Their widespread adoption stems from the fact that they empower citizens to directly verify transactions without intermediaries, thereby reinforcing public trust. However, private and permissioned blockchains are catching up quickly as governments attempt to balance transparency with regulatory control and operational flexibility.

The Global Blockchain Government Market demonstrates diverse regional dynamics. North America currently dominates the landscape, fueled by strong digital infrastructure, pioneering adoption initiatives across the United States and Canada, and substantial funding for blockchain pilots in sectors ranging from public healthcare to border security. Europe, meanwhile, is following closely, with the EU’s regulatory frameworks and cross-country blockchain collaborations fostering steady adoption. Asia Pacific, however, is expected to emerge as the fastest-growing region throughout the forecast horizon. Rapid population growth, rising digitization programs in India and China, and heavy investments in e-governance infrastructure are creating fertile ground for blockchain in governance. Similarly, the Middle East and Africa are gradually adopting blockchain solutions, with countries like the UAE spearheading national-level blockchain strategies.
