According to the latest market forecast report by Technavio, the Cryptocurrency Mining Hardware Market share is set to increase by $12 billion from 2022 to 2027. The momentum of growth in the market is going to accelerate at a CAGR of 11.35%. The market will also experience a 10.71% Y-O-Y growth rate during this period.
In addition, given that the UAE is a crypto-friendly country, it is important to note that the mining business has dramatically grown in the territory. In fact, although Bitcoin mining started with solo miners quietly building up currency reserves on their home computers, those days are long gone.
UAE-based Phoenix Technology has embarked on establishing a $2 billion crypto-mining farm in the UAE, which will be the biggest mining site in the area. The project will be finalized within six months, giving the region a taste of technological advancement and development.
