The power of blockchain in the consumer industry

Even though blockchain has been around for more than a decade, many industries haven’t fully embraced the technology. So what are we seeing in the consumer industry? Blockchain’s ability to increase trust through the transparency of transactions is leading to some interesting and viable applications—in retail, customer service, FMCG, and more.

In this episode of Consumer Speaks we explore blockchain adoption and some accounting implications companies need to consider. Join guests Linda Pawczuk, the Global and US Consulting Blockchain and Digital Asset leader and principal at Deloitte Consulting, LLP; Brian Hansen, US Audit Blockchain leader and Audit & Assurance partner at Deloitte & Touche, LLP; and Michael Marzelli, US Audit & Assurance partner in Blockchain and Digital Assets specialist at Deloitte and Touche, LLP.

Blockchain continues to revolutionize the way we think about a transaction-based industry.

Deloitte’s 2020 Global Blockchain Survey

Leaders no longer consider blockchain technology groundbreaking and merely promising. Deloitte’s 2020 Global Blockchain Survey polled a sample of nearly 1,500 senior executives and suggests that initial doubts about blockchain’s usefulness are fading as business leaders now see it as integral to organizational innovation. As a result, they are putting money and resources behind the technology in more meaningful and tangible ways.
