世界のハードウェアウォレットの市場規模は、2023年に3億9,590万米ドルに達し、2024~2032年にかけてCAGR 19.9%で成長し、2032年までに20億9,340万米ドルに達すると予測されています。従来の金融システムへの暗号通貨の統合が進んでいること、暗号通貨関連サービスのエコシステムが拡大していること、世界中でプライバシーと自律性に対する消費者の需要が高まっていることなどが、市場成長を促進する主な要因となっています。
ハードウェアウォレットは、ユーザーの暗号通貨秘密鍵を安全に保管するために設計された物理的なデバイスです。コンピュータやスマートフォン上で動作するソフトウェアウォレットとは異なり、ハードウェアウォレットはオフラインで動作するため、ハッキングの試みやマルウェアの影響を受けにくいです。取引が必要な場合、ウォレットはコンピューターやスマートフォンに接続されていなければならないです。秘密鍵が取引に署名するために使われるのはそのときだけで、この作業はすべてデバイス内で行われるため、鍵がインターネットに公開されることはないです。このレベルのセキュリティにより、これらのウォレットは暗号通貨を保管するための最も安全なオプションの一つとなっています。特に長期保管や大量のデジタル資産を保管するのに便利です。これらのウォレットには、PIN保護やバックアップオプションなど様々な機能が搭載されており、セキュリティのレイヤーが追加されています。ソフトウェアウォレットと比較すると初期費用は高いが、セキュリティ強化のために投資する価値があると考える人は多いです。
銀行や投資プラットフォームなど、従来の金融システムへの暗号通貨の統合が進んでいることが、世界市場を大きく牽引しています。デジタル資産が主流になるにつれ、金融機関は暗号通貨サービスを顧客に提供するための安全な方法を模索しています。これに伴い、暗号通貨取引所、融資プラットフォーム、資産管理サービスなど、暗号通貨関連サービスのエコシステムが拡大していることが、間接的にこれらのウォレットの需要に拍車をかけています。さらに、個人投資家と機関投資家の両方が暗号通貨市場に流入していることも、市場の成長を促す要因となっています。個人投資家が大量需要に貢献する一方で、機関投資家は市場に信頼性と主流受容のレベルをもたらします。これとは別に、プライバシーと自律性に対する消費者の需要の高まりも市場を大きく支えています。さらに、ブロックチェーン技術の継続的な向上は、世界の産業にプラスの影響を与えています。
暗号通貨のセキュリティに対する意識の高まり
暗号通貨の普及に伴い、ユーザーはデジタル資産の安全確保が不可欠となっています。暗号通貨は中央当局の規制を受けないため、セキュリティに対する責任は個人にあります。このような意識から、ソフトウェアベースのウォレットと比較して高いレベルのセキュリティを提供するハードウェアウォレットの需要が高まっています。ハッキングやフィッシング攻撃の影響を受けやすいソフトウェアウォレットとは異なり、ハードウェアウォレットはオンライン上の脅威から保護されています。ユーザーの秘密鍵はオフラインで保存されるため、権限のないユーザーが保存されたデジタル資産にアクセスすることは事実上不可能です。著名なハッキング事件が相次ぎ、数百万米ドルものデジタル通貨が盗まれたことで、これらのウォレットへのシフトはさらに加速しています。インフルエンサーや企業、さらには規制機関による教育キャンペーンは、デジタル資産を保護するために製品を使用することの重要性についての認識を広めることに貢献しています。その結果、暗号通貨への投資や取引に真剣に取り組む人々は、他の形態のデジタル資産保管よりもハードウェアウォレットを優先するようになっています。
分散型金融(DeFi)プラットフォームの台頭
一般的にDeFiとして知られる分散型金融の台頭は、世界の業界に大きな影響を与えています。DeFiプラットフォームは、銀行のような伝統的な仲介機関を介さずに、貸し借りから資産管理まで、さまざまな金融サービスを提供します。さらに、DeFiプラットフォームとやりとりするユーザーは、取引を管理するための安全な方法を必要としており、ハードウェアウォレットが最も安全な選択肢であることが証明されています。さらに、ハードウェアウォレットは、取引に物理的な確認を必要とすることで、さらなる安全性を提供しています。この動向により、DeFiユーザーの間でハードウェアウォレットの需要が高まっています。DeFi市場が成長と成熟を続けるにつれ、これらのプラットフォームとやり取りする安全で効率的な方法に対する需要は、世界レベルで業界をさらに牽引していくと思われます。
継続的な規制の進展
長年にわたり、世界中の規制機関が暗号通貨を合法的な金融資産として認め始めています。この認識により、消費者の保護やマネーロンダリングのような違法行為の防止を目的とした様々な規則や規制のイントロダクションが導入されつつあります。これに伴い、これらの規制を遵守するためには、デジタル資産の安全な保管と透明性のある追跡が必要となることが多く、ハードウェアウォレットによってそのようなことが容易になります。暗号通貨を規制する国が増えるにつれ、ハードウェアウォレットを含む安全でコンプライアンスに準拠したストレージソリューションの必要性がますます重要になってきています。したがって、規制の進展は世界の業界にとって重要な市場促進要因となっています。製造業者もまた、国際標準に準拠するよう製品を適合させており、消費者がこれらの安全なストレージ方法を信頼し、採用しやすくなっています。
The global hardware wallet market size reached US$ 395.9 Million in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 2,093.4 Million by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 19.9% during 2024-2032. The increasing integration of cryptocurrencies into traditional financial systems, the expanding ecosystem of cryptocurrency-related services, and the rising consumer demand for privacy and autonomy across the globe are among the key factors driving the market growth.
A hardware wallet is a physical device designed to securely store the user's cryptocurrency private keys. Unlike software wallets that run on computers or smartphones, hardware wallets are less susceptible to hacking attempts and malware because they operate offline. When you need to make a transaction, the wallet must be connected to a computer or smartphone. Only then are the private keys used to sign the transaction, and this all happens within the device itself, never exposing the keys to the internet. This level of security makes these wallets one of the safest options for storing cryptocurrency. They are particularly useful for long-term storage or for holding large amounts of digital assets. These wallets come with a variety of features, including PIN protection and backup options, adding layers of security. Although they come at a higher upfront cost compared to software wallets, many consider the investment worthwhile for the enhanced security.
The increasing integration of cryptocurrencies into traditional financial systems, including banks and investment platforms, is majorly driving the global market. As digital assets become more mainstream, financial institutions are seeking secure methods to offer cryptocurrency services to their customers. Along with this, the expanding ecosystem of cryptocurrency-related services such as cryptocurrency exchanges, lending platforms, and asset management services is indirectly fueling the demand for these wallets. In addition, the influx of both retail and institutional investors into the cryptocurrency market is also acting as another growth-inducing factor for the market. While retail investors contribute to bulk demand, institutional investors bring a level of credibility and mainstream acceptance to the market. Apart from this, the rising consumer demand for privacy and autonomy is also significantly supporting the market. Moreover, the continuous improvement in blockchain technology is impacting the global industry positively.
Increasing awareness of cryptocurrency security
The growing adoption of cryptocurrencies has made it imperative for users to secure their digital assets. As cryptocurrencies are not regulated by any central authority, the responsibility for security falls squarely on the individual. This awareness is leading to an increasing demand for hardware wallets, which offer a higher level of security compared to software-based wallets. Unlike software wallets, which are susceptible to hacks and phishing attacks, these wallets are immune to online threats. They store the user's private keys offline, making it virtually impossible for unauthorized users to access the stored digital assets. The string of high-profile hacks and the millions in digital currencies stolen have further accelerated the shift towards these wallets. Educational campaigns by influencers, companies, and even regulatory bodies have contributed to spreading awareness about the importance of using the product for securing digital assets. As a result, people who are serious about cryptocurrency investment or transactions are now prioritizing hardware wallets over other forms of digital asset storage.
Rise of decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms
The emergence of decentralized finance, commonly known as DeFi, is significantly impacting the global industry. DeFi platforms offer a range of financial services, from lending and borrowing to asset management, without the need for traditional intermediaries, such as banks. In addition, users who interact with DeFi platforms require a secure method to manage their transactions, and hardware wallets have proven to be the safest option available. Moreover, they offer an added layer of security by requiring physical confirmation for transactions. This trend has led to a rise in demand for hardware wallets among DeFi users. As the DeFi market continues to grow and mature, the demand for secure and efficient ways to interact with these platforms will further drive the industry on the global level.
Continuous regulatory developments
Over the years, regulatory bodies around the world have started to recognize cryptocurrencies as legitimate financial assets. This recognition is leading to the introduction of various rules and regulations aimed at protecting consumers and preventing illegal activities like money laundering. In confluence with this, compliance with these regulations often requires secure storage and transparent tracking of digital assets, factors that are facilitated by hardware wallets. As more countries move towards regulating cryptocurrencies, the need for secure, compliant storage solutions, including hardware wallets is becoming increasingly crucial. Regulatory developments, therefore, act as a significant market driver for the global industry. Manufacturers are also adapting their products to be compliant with international standards, making it easier for consumers to trust and adopt these secure storage methods.
