# Market Opportunities

* The **decentralized applications (dApps) market** is experiencing exponential growth. Analysts predict that the total **dApps market size will reach $139.6 billion by 2032**, with a **compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.2% from 2024 to 2032** (Source: [Reports and Insights](http://www.reportsandinsights.com/report/decentralized-applications-dapps-market))

  At the same time, **crypto adoption is rising rapidly**. In 2024, the global number of **crypto users is estimated at 562 million**, accounting for **6.8% of the world's population**. This indicates a massive and expanding audience for blockchain-based applications (Source: [Visual Capitalist](http://www.visualcapitalist.com/crypto-ownership-growth-by-region/))

  Despite this growth, **Web3 still lacks a scalable, user-friendly distribution solution.** This gap presents a **unique opportunity for Eragon to establish itself as the leading dApp marketplace**, providing an **AI-powered ecosystem that connects developers and users seamlessly.**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://whitepaper.eragon.gg/eragon-introduction/market-opportunities.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
