Blockchain technology refers to a decentralized database that stores data in blocks that are chained together. The newly generated data is stored in a fresh block. After a block is filled with data, it is linked to the previous block, thereby enabling the storage of data in a chronological order. Since decentralized blockchains are immutable, data entered in blocks are reversible and cannot be accessed through unfair means, as it is extremely difficult to go back and alter the contents unless a consensus is attained among the majority.

| Automotive Blockchain Market |
Owing to the high security offered by the blockchain technology, it is being increasingly adopted by the automobile industry, as huge volumes of data are produced in this sector. Moreover, the real-time monitoring, scalability of information, and auditability offered by this technology will also strengthen the automotive blockchain market in the coming years. In recent years, the blockchain technology has become an integral part of the information technology (IT) domain of the automobile sector. This technology is being used in mobility solutions, internet of things (IoT), connected cars, retailing and leasing, supply chain logistics, and autonomous driving applications.
