Description
Blockchain in Automotive - Thematic Intelligence
Summary
Blockchain is a type of distributed ledger comprised of unchangeable, digitally recorded data in packages called blocks. Each block is “chained” to the next block using a cryptographic signature. The technology can be viewed as a digital record of transactions that is decentralized, meaning no central authority, such as government or bank, validates a transaction.
The initial development of blockchain generated huge interest, with companies adopting the technology for novelty rather than strategic reasons. Since then, more practical, efficiency-based use cases have slowly emerged throughout the automotive sector. The global blockchain market will grow from $12 billion in 2023 to $291 billion in 2030, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 55%, according to GlobalData.

Blockchain technology has various uses in automotive
Blockchain can benefit every level of the automotive value chain, from supply chain management to sales and post-sale activity. Supply chain traceability tools help automakers by providing transparent and immutable records of transactions. This can also help them achieve their sustainability goals by enabling the procurement of ethically sourced raw materials. Smart contracts can automate automotive supplier transactions, minimizing payout times.
Customers can access transparent and secure vehicle history, ownership, and maintenance records. This reduces fraud in the used car market, promoting trust and improving resale value. Digital assets, such as non-fungible tokens (NFTs), can promote customer loyalty and create new ways for vendors to interact with customers.
Cost and complexity will hinder widespread adoption
The success of blockchain in the automotive sector is heavily dependent on scale. Typically, only large automakers have the capital and existing technology infrastructure to implement blockchain. Conducting testing and research into blockchain adoption can be costly, especially for smaller automakers with fewer resources. Automakers often partner with specialist blockchain vendors, which requires customization and complex integration with existing automotive systems.
