# 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**.
