Blockchain in Logistics Market Size, Share, and Industry Analysis, By Technology (Public Blockchain, Private Blockchain, and Others), By Use Cases (Track and Trace, Transparency and Compliance, Smart Contracts, Inventory Management, and Counterfeit Prevention), By Industry (FMCG, Pharmaceutical, Manufacturing, Automotive, and Others), and Regional Forecast, 2026-2034

The global blockchain in logistics market size was valued at USD 7.91 billion in 2025. The market is projected to grow from USD 15.14 billion in 2026 to USD 2730.54 billion by 2034, exhibiting a CAGR of 91.44% during the forecast period.

Blockchain, a distributed ledger technology, securely records transactions between parties without intermediaries. By sharing databases among multiple parties, it eliminates the need for intermediaries and unlocks data previously stored in silos. For centuries, businesses and entire industries have been built on the fundamental principle of trust between multiple parties. However, this foundation is set to be disrupted and transformed with the advent of blockchain technology.

The trend is the integration of blockchain with added cutting-edge technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI), which boosts market demand over the forecasted period. However, the security vulnerability of blockchain technology challenges market adoption. The increased adoption of blockchain technology to enhance visibility, security, and traceability within supply chains drives market growth.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the blockchain in the logistics market by accelerating the demand for transparency and traceability in supply chains. Disruptions caused by the pandemic highlighted the need for real-time visibility, which blockchain technology provides through its secure and immutable ledger system​.

The crisis also hastened digital transformation efforts across the logistics sector, pushing companies to adopt blockchain solutions to enhance resilience and efficiency​​. However, challenges, such as high implementation costs and technical complexities, remained barriers, even as the pandemic drove increased collaboration and innovation among industry stakeholders​​.
