Market Dynamics
The increasing trend of digital artworks is one of the leading factors that are driving the demand for the global non-fungible token market. NFTs are most usually connected with purchasing/owning digital artwork, as they allow an investor or collector to possess the original digital piece while retaining copyright and reproduction rights. NFTs can be anything digital (drawings, music, videos, etc.), but the current buzz is focused on exploiting the technology to sell digital art. Another significant factor driving market expansion is the increased implementation of NFT in different industries, namely gaming, ticketing, real estate, and others. For example, one of the industries that will profit the most from NFTs is gaming.
In addition to that, the rising adoption of NFTs in the gaming sector is expected to fuel market growth in the coming period. NFT games use a play-to-earn model, which allows players to earn money while they play.

For instance, the success of blockchain-based game providers like Axie Infinity has made the play-to-earn (P2E) style model, also known as GameFi, popular among NFT games.
However, concerns regarding frauds and scams related to NFTs are holding back the growth of the industry. For instance, in the NFT phishing scam, customers are asked to provide their private wallet keys or 12-word security seed phrases via fraudulent websites and pop-ups. Scammers can hacka user wallet once they have their wallet's keys and deplete all of your crypto and NFT holdings.
Moreover, increasing demand for decentralized marketplaces has shown the market numerous growth opportunities during the forecast period 2022 – 2030. Participants interested in making money with NFTs could look into decentralized markets that similarly use blockchain as DAOs and metaverse. The rapidly evolving metaverse, which is built on decentralized blockchain technology, will soon become the most popular location for NFTs. Rising popularity from social media channels is one of the popular non-fungible token market trends that has created a noteworthy growth prospect in the industry.
