Time for trust

The trillion-dollar reasons to rethink blockchain

In this report PwC explores the impact blockchain technology can have on the global economy. We look at how practical, everyday uses are creating an opportunity for organisations to deliver value by building trust and improving efficiency.

Throughout, we present the findings of PwC economists as well as the views and opinions of our global blockchain specialists and industry figures, looking at how organisations can benefit from blockchain technology and what steps they can take to get started today.

Why blockchain is more than Bitcoin

Blockchain technology has 

long been associated with cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, but there is so much more that it has to offer. The technology, as we’ll see in this report, creates digital records – such as 

certificates, public registers or agreements – which are stored, shared and amended online. Transactions are quickly validated, documented and encrypted for security: from amendments made, to who sent or exchanged them. There’s no need for a third-party, such 

as a bank or a regulator, to verify such actions because it’s a shared process, secured by cryptography.

This cuts out intermediaries and puts blockchain in an important position for improving trust, transparency and efficiency across organisations.

Blockchain technology has the potential to boost global gross domestic product (GDP) by US$1.76 trillion over the next decade.

That is the key finding of PwC economists, who have assessed how the technology is currently being used and gauged its potential to create value across every industry, from healthcare, government and public services, to manufacturing, finance, logistics and retail.

There is an opportunity for all; our economists expect the majority of businesses to be using the technology in some form by 2025. Once it has hit the mainstream, the economic benefits are expected to rise steeply.

提要

普华永道在本报告中探讨了区块链技术可能对全球经济产生的影响。我们研究日常实用性如何为组织通过建立信任和提高效率来创造价值的机会。

在整个过程中，我们将介绍普华永道（PwC）经济学家的发现以及我们全球区块链专家和行业人士的观点和观点，探讨组织如何从区块链技术中受益以及他们今天可以采取哪些步骤。

为什么区块链不仅仅是比特币

区块链技术长期以来一直与诸如比特币之类的加密货币相关联，但它所提供的还有更多。我们将在本报告中看到，该技术可以创建数字记录，例如证书，公共登记簿或协议，这些记录可以在线存储，共享和修改。为了安全起见，交易会被快速验证，记录和加密：从所做的修改到发送或交换的人。不需要第三方（例如银行或监管机构）来验证此类操作，因为它是由密码保护的共享过程。

这消除了中介机构，并使区块链在提高组织间的信任，透明度和效率方面处于重要地位。

区块链技术有潜力在未来十年内将全球国内生产总值（GDP）提升1.76万亿美元。

这是普华永道经济学家的主要发现，他们评估了该技术的当前使用方式，并评估了其在从医疗保健，政府和公共服务到制造业，金融，物流和零售等各个行业创造价值的潜力。

所有人都有机会。 我们的经济学家预计，到2025年，大多数企业将以某种形式使用该技术。一旦技术成为主流，则其经济利益预计将急剧上升。
