It appears as though every company is trying to integrate the use of blockchain technology.

https://www.blockchain-council.org/blockchain/top-10-companies-that-have-already-adopted-blockchain/

Some might have legitimate reasons, others just for the hype and hell of it.

Are there any industries that can't benefit from using blockchain technology in their business practices? Where it doesn't matter?

Hype or no hype is not a yardstick for any company out there to ignore the power of the Blockchain Technology, this technology has solutions to all the problems and troubles faced by these companies  before now, so they need the TECH to solve these problems headlong. Bet you that, many companies will integrate into using the Blockchain as soon as possible.   

Blockchain technology will revolutionize the business sector because of its awesome features. When it comes to industries, blockchain can help secure company's financial information from attacks. It can also boost its sales with the use of different cryptocurrencies available in the market for we all know that there are already lots of people who are holding different kinds of crypto.

It can also build trust to investors due to the transparency of records that can be accessed easily and can't be edited if it's already recorded in the network.

I can't find any reason why blockchain should be ignored by industries for it can really help augment their sales and might as well improve the quality and accuracy of their services.

Can industries profit from using a public blockchain? Sure.

Can they profit from running private blockchains of their own? Unlikely. But apparently that's the way many companies are going, presumably in an attempt to establish and control a new industry standard.

Running a private blockchain instance is like running a private internet instance. Of course you can do it, but it will only have a fraction of the functionality of the real thing (ie. while intranet websites are very useful for internal workflow, they can't replace the public internet). Difference being that most problems that can be solved using a private blockchain, are better solved using classical distributed (or even centralized) databases.

Most examples as provided by the article linked in OP are likely to be forgotten within 5 - 10 years for lack of an actual benefit. Problem being that they are either technical approaches to problems that need to be solved at an operational / administrative level (eg. opaque supply chains / company records) or approaches that tout benefits that are only applicable to some of the public blockchains, but no so much to private blockchains (eg. record immutability, network security).

In short, the bullshit to benefit ratio is incredibly high.

I am yet to hear a good argument for blockchain in healthcare. The arguments I have heard thus far can be broadly summarised in to two categories: patient records or fees.

The patient record argument goes somewhat along the lines of every patient would have a unique identifier, and upon presentation to any healthcare provider, the provider can scan this identifier and access their records on the blockchain. There are a few issues with this. Firstly, this system already exists in many countries, and works just fine without blockchain technology. Secondly, you need to regulate access to the database as it contains confidential health information - that becomes more difficult as your database becomes decentralized and spread over many remote computers and sites.

The fee argument is along the lines of streamlining the interface between patient and provider, removing some of the insurance companies' oversight and paperwork, and therefore reducing fees. This is only a problem in the US - no other country in the world has such a ridiculous healthcare system. A much better solution would be to simply move to a more logical system, and blockchain is not needed at all to do that.

It's expedient for every sector that you to remain relevant not to overlook the immense benefits of blockchain technology. For instance, analogy companies that fail to embrace the internet revolution on time are nowhere to be found today and lastly, every industries requires some sort of payment and therefore should embrace this technology. My opinion though.

Anyone can use the blockchain technology since it's really just a ledger of transactions at the end of the day. It all boils down to the customization of the said technology based on what the company/organization actually needs work on. Most are also just joining the hype train and using the popularity of the said tech thinking that it's 'the next big thing' since everybody else is doing it, while in reality there aren't any significant advantage of integrating it on their services compared to their older systems. With the world slowly shifting into the digital realm, it's time that most companies also change their systems to keep up with the pace, but integrating blockchain into an organization isn't always the answer. Blockchain is revolutionary, but not always the go-to solution IMO.


Medical records are fine as is, and also, using the concept of a blockchain technology in such an application might affect medical record confidentiality in such a way that your information is floating freely, waiting for everyone to see. Medical databases are fine and already secure, so yeah, the healthcare industry doesn't really need this tech for sorting and storing medical records.


If anything, the blockchain would somewhat make things worse for healthcare providers. Imagine the added layers of confusion just to get the file that you really wanted to look at.

As long as the companies accepting payment, then they will get a huge benefit by using public blockchain (i.e., cryptocurrency in this case), as we know that transaction fees were very expensive for an international transfer and/or involves a lot of money. And yeah, smart contract, cloud computing, data storage, side-chain, LN, etc., in the open blockchain will enable third-party companies to create their own solution/interface on top of these blockchains.

But if they are trying to implement permissioned blockchain then it has to be some kind of consortium (or perhaps government). It's really strange if a single company uses a permissioned blockchain because it could be replaced by a simple database.

Maybe journalism? At least not the entertainment news media outlets. It might be beneficial to hard-hitting news, but I'm not sure if it will be a good thing for the newspaper and the people.

Blockchain can be used in any industy because it doesn't only serve about money services but it can be operated to save any data. It is about future technology that drivers to better services that can make people activities more efficient, simple and transparent.

i would say most industries can't benefit from using blockchain technology.

i keep seeing people say it'll disrupt all these industries---healthcare, manufacturing, voting, etc---but i've never seen a convincing explanation of how. supposedly smart contracts can cut intermediaries out of supply chains because "traceability" but since it's impossible to eliminate trust at any point in the chain, it seems totally pointless. applying blockchains to voting seems disastrous. either privacy (and the idea of secret ballots) is severely compromised, or voter fraud will become rampant.

so far, blockchains are useful for decentralized money (decentralized implies permisionless, censorship-resistant qualities). even smart contracts are just a proof-of-concept at this point for real world applications.

 ??? I can´t think of any, we need to know that in future, all industries will need to join to internet if they want to survive, and deffinetely are going to use blockchain technology. But for the moment we just pay atention on science.  8)

for now they can say no dependency on blockchain, but we can see later where all companies will need it even though we don't know for sure when that will happen, because we know obstacles that must be faced

Apparently, every industry, company, institution or business needs Blockchain unless that firm does not have payment systems. Blockchain can be utilized in all sectors like agriculture, education, health, finance etc to bring more added value to productivity and profit making margin.

I think it would especially be great for the media and the people. Decentralized news websites would eliminate fake news. It would be resistant to censorship and verifiable, while ensuring accuracy and transparency by using incentives.

How? That's just another prime example of a technical approach to a problem that needs to be faced on a social level.

Yes, a decentralized website is harder to take down than a centralized one. But it neither enables verification nor accuracy of the content being distributed. Bad journalism stays bad journalism regardless of the medium. People will gobble up the bullshit that demagogues are feeding them regardless of whether the content is published on a centralized server or using a decentralized filesystem.

There is no industry without transactions, so all industries need a blockchain if they accept bitcoin as the payment unit

I think blockchain technology can be applied to many industries. Because we are in the digital age and very modern. So we need to make things faster and blockchain technology can help us. Blockchain technology can become a tool for faster payments.

Blockchains don't necessarily make things faster though. The fact of the matter is that traditional databases can fill the need of most industries well enough. Blockchains are very niche, and therefore have very specialized applications. It's not even needed for payments. If a company chooses to accept Bitcoin, they won't need to set up an entirely new blockchain to accommodate it.

But hey, if you definitely feel like blockchains make everything better, might as well put your money where your mouth is and invest into obscure ICOs, right? Don't do that though lmao.

The economy and finance related to the journalism and the media entertainment can be updated to the cryptocurrency wing for convenience and this might also boost the profit that is normally earned using fiat for this purpose.

In addition to industries like the Journalism, I believe that the undocumented industries and economies cannot be improved using this mood of transaction. This is just because majority of them are too illegal to be documented and cannot be covered by the cryptocurrency.

I think the most obvious examples will be smaller industries that might lack the funding to hire expert developers to develop and maintain the complexities surrounding Blockchain technologies.

Some industries have very efficient financial databases and Blockchain technologies might not add any extra value. Why would you add some new technology, if your solution is working?

You do not have to be at the forefront of new technologies, just because it is the new trend. You can wait until the new technology has matured enough, before you jump onto the bandwagon.  ;)

Making use of the blockchain technology is a thing of choice and we are not the ones to tell whether it’s going to benefit any company or not, it’s all left for them to carry out a meeting and know if the Blockchain tech that is being said will in any way benefit their company or organization. I have seen a lot big companies that backs projects that has to do with Blockchain but don’t make use of it.

Lol, you’re confused. The comment you replied is saying that the Blockchain technology won’t benefit/work for journalism and here you are saying that it will be a good thing to be used in the media please how exactly are we going to make use of the blockchain technology in journalism? It’s not a must that companies will make use of blockchain and its not even necessary.

Probably cleaning ? Most repair shop type business ? I mean if you really work for it than you can implement blockchain into anything you want, as long as anyone uses a computer for their business than they can use blockchain as well but if you mean daily tasks that doesn't require blockchain than the ideal examples would be cleaning and repair shops.

When you are cleaning you do not need any sort of blockchain, you just clean the dirty places and thats it, however if you really want to than you can make a blockchain based software for cleaning companies to keep track of who cleaned where and when type stuff.

Car repairing doesn't require blockchain at all, you change the oil, you fix the tires, you change the brakes and what not but if you really wanted to you can make a software to keep track of which cars were repaired on which parts and so forth.

I think everyone can use the blockchain to support their performance. although perhaps at this time the small-scale home industry does not yet need it. but later if you want more extensive marketing, you can certainly use it

There is no company that does not need blockchain technology. If the blockchain techology is not use for financial transactions it can be useful for proper verification and ascertaining accuracy in the company's data.

As long as you don't need big data, you don't need a lot of people to edit the database, trust each other, and all industries with central agencies don't need blockchain!
Internal management of the centralized organization does not involve external collaboration.

Attitudes like this are counter productive, and are partly the reason the market is currently flooded with over 2000 trash altcoins, with more being released every day.

There are thousands of companies that do not need blockchain technology. My favourite example of a truly awful application of blockchain technology was an ICO that was planning to use a blockchain to track when patients took their medications at home by having friends and family visit them four times a day to supervise the patient taking them, and then enter this data in to the decentralized database. The project in question also proposed sending people round to your address if you were regularly missing doses. A huge invasion of privacy, and a perfect example of a simple process made 100x more complicated by trying to shoehorn a blockchain in where it is neither needed nor wanted.

Creating blockchains for companies that don't need them drives the creation of thousands of trash alts, and makes blockchain look like a "get rich quick" scheme to outsiders.

I'm not sure that any industrie needs a public blockchain.There is lots of hype about blockchain implementation in various industries and all the benefits that it will bring,but I'm not sure about it.
The implementation of a blockchain in every industry will be quite expensive,while the benefits are questionable.

Blockchain is open to everyone so small, medium, and large industries. It is up to them how they are going to implement because blockchain is very convenient to used. But as what some are suggesting, why used blockchain in small industries if they can manage it properly and don't take so much budget.

It is fair to think that blockchain technology has outgrown its initial ambitions. However, its scope is larger than originally imagined. It may not be for all and sundry but it will useful for almost every industry especially where payments are concerned. Then you have stuff like; identity management, decentralized apps, simplifying the internet of things, making smarter predictions, streamlining supply chains, etc. The list is endless and applicable to different facets of morden life.

Of course there are industries that won't need blockchain technology such as agriculture, poultry, fisheries, and a lot more. But, instead of thinking where blockchain doesn't have significance, it's better to think of the industries where blockchain is very useful. As they say, blockchain can revolutionize a lot of existing processes in financial, HR, services, and many more.

I dont know if it is possible to be considered an industry but i find hard to apply the blockchain technology in a graveyard or something similar. I know it sounds horrible.

I actually agree with your opinion than others, or about the explanation of whether to accept the blockchain or not. no need to go further, first is whether anyone accepts bitcoin as payment. if there is, the blockchain will automatically become one of their systems. but it can be outside of bitcoin, companies use bitcoin. but it will be more relevant if the use of bitcoin as payment is preferred.

I think it belongs to agriculture. When we grow, we do not need to have any smart payment method. I think that is the only field that does not need to use blockchain technology.

Some industries already have put their interest in it. Some are trying to adopt it, and some are just not considered it worthy. They all need to be updated and briefed about positive points.

all industries that do not involve money in running their business,
as we know, that all industries must involve money as a transaction tool, so there is no industry that does not need blockchain technology
including charity programs though

Well it is one of its kinds and I think should be adapted by every industry to boom economic situation and deal with the growth easily. In the mean time, the underground economic sector cannot adapt it.

I think the question should more or less be: "What industries are willing to accept the blockchain".

IMO, virtually every single industry can benefit from blockchain technologies, but it's up to the contributors of said industry to accept it with open arms.

The financial payments industry may be a TAD more willing to accept blockchain technologies than, lets say, the farming industry for example.

burger stall doesnt need.

joke aside, blockchain basically can be adopted in all industries. no matter what business you do, you still need money. you still need an account. thats where blockchain come in.

Many industries not needed and never got positive respond with bitcoin, they have always try to make bitcoin is drop and have lower price, we have keep and support for bitcoin could have connection with many industries on the world.

The industrial sectors which are related to agriculture are not so much optimistic about the currency and have its roots in the traditional way of doing business. The underdeveloped countries might not feel the need to adapt it so soon.

In my opinion, insurance is more alike to a joint venture system and funds will be disbursed to the entitled people just as in the agreement, if there are differences in class it is natural, because the monthly fee (http://yubster.com) is more expensive.

As long as companies accept online payments, thee need blockchain. Furthermore, it is not just about payments but also about data, storages, smart contracts. I think it can be applied to any industry.

now it is very often possible to meet the ideas for introduction the Blockchain which do not make any sense in general. therefore before introducing it, it is necessary to think whether it is worth it.

isn't all business actually profitable, even since the blockchain and crypto don't exist yet. And at that time we knew that the systems used in such businesses had more dark sides, such as how they were not transparent to users and investors, whereas the existence of this blockchain was only an option if someone wanted a different thing or a new development

since blockchain is concerned, blockchain is fit for industries sa far as industries have methods, guidelines, products,money transanction..blockcain is complete system from the start to end and back to start so it can help their processing easy, quick and accurate..

From all indications, blockchain is needed by almost every industry. There has to be one area of their business that will surely require the integration of the technology. Be it engineering, commerce, entertainment, etc.

Blockchain is a new technology for data security and management and most of the modern industries are heavily relied on data and they won't compromise that their data will not be leaked to their competitor. Information and other confidential data are more sensible to modern industries and they need to protect it and one of the most secure data data management is the blockchain technology. Modern industries need to adopt blockchain since they are hooked up to internet for faster transaction and any industries that do not need internet, does not need blockchain too.

From my point of view, blockchain is needed in almost industries, they need blockchain to develop more. I don't think we can find any industry that don't need blockchain.

As long as companies accept online payments, thee need blockchain. Furthermore, it is not just about payments but also about data, storages, smart contracts. I think it can be applied to any industry.

I honestly don’t even know for which industries blockchain technologies are unnecessary, because now every sphere needs improvement because we are heading for the future and we need new technologies and new discoveries, just the blockchain technologies are capable and ready to provide the best discoveries that are with probability will be able to improve any industry, so I think that in the near future in any industry there will be blockchain technologies.

In my opinion, insura (http://rumahmu.com)nce is more alike to a joint venture system and funds will be disbursed to the entitled people just as in the agreement, if there are differences in class it is natural, because the monthly fee is more expensive.

A careful look at all the present tokens in the coinmarket cap indicates that virtually every industry is represented with one token project or the other rendering its associated service.

Almost industries in the world do not use bitcoin as their payment, just few country have accepted bitcoin but just an issue right or not they have accepted bitcoin as their payment.

I know this is a topic about which industries "don't" need blockchain but I just read somewhere that there is a team that's working on a blockchain that's basically scouting for sports. Not just soccer or basketball but all sports, thanks to a blockchain system every single small player in even the least popular sport could put the results of a match into a system backed by blockchain so they could be checked whenever and wherever they wanted.

That way you can have one huge big database for all sports and all players around the whole world which would make tracking much easier for scouts. I just wanted to share something new I found because whenever someone says who doesn't need blockchain I just want to remind them they may not "need" it but surely everyone will benefit from it even if they don't need it. Its not a "must" for many industry but its "good to have" for every industry.

indeed it happens because bitcoin has not been legalized. but many industries can use the blockchain, even though they currently don't need it. and I think the industry that has local marketing will eventually use it

If you look at it critically almost all industries need blockchain. All industries keep record of what is going on in the industries so to ensure accuracy and transparency blockchain will be very useful.

Wut??
Yes, they need a database, but not in the form of a blockchain.
The blockchain is slow, immutable, and adding more unnecessary complexity. It is not useful at all for most of the companies.

Every industry need Blockchain,I don't think there is any industry that Blockchain is not needed but the only problem is that most government won't allow that to come in place .

I'm no expert on blockchain tech by any means, but I'd love to hear good ideas about how it could be implemented anywhere in the healthcare field, pharmacy services in particular, and if it would truly offer an advantage.  My opinion is that people are trying to crowbar the tech into industries that don't really need it, and they're doing it for their own gain and not to actually solve problems.

The first thing that comes to mind for me is the postal system.  Seems like a blockchain would be a good tracking system for 1st class mail (letters), which doesn't currently exist.  I'd love to be able to track regular letters I send without having to pay for priority mail.  Yes, I still pay my bills through the mail, and I also use the postal system to purchase stocks.  I'm very old school.  And as it stands, there's no tracking system for a letter sent with a $0.50 stamp on it.

As an aside, I can't stand most of the posts in this thread, which are mostly generic shitposts that aren't even addressing the question asked in the thread title.  God damn you sons of bitches and your spam.  And I guess the question is which industries don't need blockchain tech.  My intuition tells me that the list is a pretty long one. 

In any case, I haven't seen it getting adopted by many companies in order to improve their businesses, and bitcoin itself is now 10 years old.  It's not like there's a secret that's being kept from the corporate world.

In my opinio, industries should start adapting blockchain technology for the reason that it makes everything very convenient and fast-- both for the businessmen and also the consumers. There should never be an industry left out with this kind of technology.  From farming vegetables to listening to music-- there is payment needed. and when there is payment and money transfers, block chain will work its magic.

Blockchain is important to every industry now it is up to us that whether we should use it or not but for payroll it was an idea given by many crypto users on the other hand somewhere crypto is not accepted easily so that creates problems for them if they have crypto and they are not not going to use it then what will happen.

I think almost all industries need a blockchain, but it's not yet able to develop it. Slowly and evolving inevitably all industries will use blockchain technology, all still in process.

I agree with it, my firend. Blockchain can be used anywhere, in any sphere, even agriculture. I am glad to meet often the news about the companies that started using these technologies.

Blockchain's killer purpose is decentralization.

Centralized systems do not need blockchain.

Every time someone proposes blockchain, ask if the system is decentralized. If the system is centralized then you can simply use a legacy database system instead.

Globally and according to the times, every industry deserves a blockchain, but is hindered by a lack of knowledge about blockchain technology, making it difficult to develop. From all sectors, it is easy and fast if the development is on the blockchain, we see all of this, of course, time continues and the process will also happen later.

of course, I also believe that every industry definitely needs a blockchain. because I think the blockchain is very helpful in developing more industrial activities again. so most industrial fields do require a blockchain. but if for now there are indeed industries that have not implemented blockchain, because there are not many who know about blockchain, it is very profitable for the industry.

Only those industries which have old minded people among them. As it is very difficult for them to adopt new technology. They will try their level best to restrict their industry from adopting new technologies. Pioneers of blockchain technology will be in profit in long run. Some other companies should adopt blockchain so that it can flourish. 

all users doing digital transactions will follow the development of the era where now people do not use Fiat Currency to buy and sell online but now can sell / buy the needs of the world easily through the blockchain, in the future all industries use blockchain.

All sectors could take advantage from using blockchain but for now most of the sectors still testing the effectiveness of blockchain, but I am sure blockchain hold a very good feature to be implemented in every sectors, it will solve many dispute problem, and bring transparency to every transaction

I don't find any exception, each and every industry could adopt the blockchain technology. This will let the business function with efficiency than that of the traditional methods. Maybe this looks tedious at the beginning of adoption. Later people will understand better as the future is much focused upon blockchain technology for each and every activity.

Well, Let me define the Blockchain, based on my research Blockchain is like a virtual ledger which transaction in bitcoin or cryptocurrency are made. It seems to me that I do not know what Industries does not need a blockchain. For me, all kind of business needs a block chain to monitor their business. However, it depends on the owner of the company if they willing to adopt it.

I think textile doesn't really need blockchain. I mean sure you can find a way to put blockchain into textile somehow but as a person from a country whose textile industry is massive I can tell you there are no parts of the industry that NEEDS blockchain, could we work and find a way to improve the sector with blockchain ? Possible.

But, it would be highly needless and it would not take off like some other industries and probably will be used by only major players. Hence I honestly think textile manufacturing doesn't require any blockchain help at all and would continue existing without one forever.

Another one could be cooking industry, you can definitely use blockchain on the payments, you can charge people with crypto to eat at your place and all however the "cooking" part of the world doesn't need blockchain at all, its not technological to begin with, hence cooking can't use any softwares at all and won't need blockchain.

I really can't think of industry that don't need blockchain, I'm pretty sure that if they'll understand what blockchain could bring into their business, they will not hesitate to adopt with it. Every business wants to be profitable and they want to have a good system in order to minimize their cost to maximize their income and blockchain could bring that, once they got educated, they will use blockchain and we need time for adoption.

The one place that is has occurred to me (note: occurred - I've not put any serious thought in to this) would be in the distribution of controlled drugs. Where I work, controlled drugs (opiates, ketamine, benzodiazepines, etc) come from manufacturer to the hospital pharmacy, and then from there are distributed to the main ward or theatre reception, and then from there are split as required to individual wards or theatres and locked in secure cupboards. At each stage of this process there is a manual count of stock between the deliverer and receiver, and both sign off that the numbers are correct. When a drug is to be used, again two members of staff must count the stock in the cupboard and sign off that records are correct. When stock is low, an order from the ward or theatre is placed with their main reception, which collaborates these orders and puts in a bigger order to hospital pharmacy, which then does the same with the manufacturer.

A distributed database could maybe help this in two ways - firstly by streamlining the whole "two member of staff signing off ", which is generally done on paper and then centrally collated, and secondly by displaying levels of stock in real time available for all to see to automate the ordering process. I suspect the reason that I have never seen this suggested before is that all these people shilling their "healthcare ICO/blockchain project" have never actually worked in healthcare, and have no idea of the real world challenges or issues.

Everyone is talking about Blockchain and making noise here and there on what can be done with blockchain. A lot of people claims that Blockchain is not something that should be ignored by any industry, lol. To be sincere I haven’t seen anything that has been accomplished with the blockchain technology apart from being used as payment. And it’s not every industry that needs Blockchain.

I do not think that no industries would not like to  use blockchain for blockchain is a good kind of technology in which it would give transparency to the storing of datas in the company and industry, but if the company cannot afford or uses another kind of technology so they will skip blockchain tecnology.

Perhaps cooking still needs it. An example would be the creation of the author's dish. Then the blockchain will be most welcome, so that no one else could claim the authorship of this dish and creator could protect his rights.

The best thing about Blockchain technology is that it is almost impossible to do corruption in the system. If blockchain technology is implemented in under developed countries (where there are more corruption) , it can really help those countries growth by eliminating corruption and other unfair means in the system.

buying and selling directly does not need to use the blockchain, as is the case now, not all industries need a blockchain,
Facebook chooses to manage user data centrally, and they receive payments without going through the blockchain, and we know that Facebook is a big company that has great potential for the internet
actually the benefits of the blockchain are very large, but developers who incorrectly use blockchain in their business systems, it will become bomerang for themselves, because there will be some restrictions that make developers unable to experiment and improvise

Gaming industry doesn't need blockchain. No gamer ever has asked for "decentralized ownership of in-game items", yet blockchain startups present it as some huge problem in gaming world. Players are okay with centralization of online games, because there never was any other way, and blockchain games don't change anything because they are still inherently centralized. Plus, tying in-game economy to real world money rarely works out, so it's not in the interest of gamers to have everything being tradeable for real money.

 Industries that do not use internet transactions don't need block chain technology . Block chain is a new technology to maintain transactions secure and there will not be leakage in Block chain data . According to my concept I am sure that block chain technology is a must for all industrial work since it gives security and trust to the people and it is risk free to use .To my opinion almost all industry should develop block chain technology and block chain is beneficial for every industries developments . For example in real estate business when the data is entered no one can change the records from unauthorized  individual even in any circumstances  the true benefit of block chain technology comes from networks of trading partners . Block chain may be the perfect tool for protection for the transaction between two person block chain provides not to share any data that is why block chain technology is useful in many industries .

I think the blockchain technolgy can be implemented on any places where the information needs to be store,so is there any industries that don't have any info to store?

But for now lot of industries not thinkig about implementing blockchain,maybe it will get implemented first on government sectors.

"Need" and "would be cool to have" are different stuff. Before 2008 no industry had blockchain at all, which means none of them really needs it, since they were capable of running without blockchain so long that they apparently don't need it at all.

All of the industries you think of even online gambling which gets to a whole new level with provably fair thanks to blockchain doesn't really "need" it, its just cool to have and when one casino has it than others had to adapt as well. However, pokerstars and sportbooks and many alike had lived long before blockchain was a thing.

On the other hand there are industries that doesn't require technology at all, a blacksmith (I know they are rare these days but they exist) doesn't require a computer let alone a blockchain system, a chef doesn't need blockchain, basically anything that doesn't use a computer to work doesn't need a blockchain, you think a cleaning lady going to a house everyday to clean their house would need a blockchain ? They certainly won't.

Blockchein can be used wherever systematization of large databases is necessary, and especially where such data should be available to the public. Therefore, this technology can be used almost everywhere and in any sphere of human activity. A feature of this technology is its high security when using it on the Internet online. This is now especially important when the Internet gives us the opportunity to account for any phenomena of our physical world on a global scale.

I feel that every industry has benefits when implementing the blockchain technology.
This stems from the fact that this technology can be integrated in every or at least the most company's departments and make their work more efficient of reduce their costs. Maybe it has less application in industries that don't want automated processes and they rely more on customized products for their customers.

fancy in the development of blockchain system every industry should definitely need to adopt the blockchain system because in the developing world we need to change the things that to be trending now and I think blockchain is the new trend so we need to change the payments and some stuff like that will be definitely involved in it.

Defence, medicine, teaching, agriculture, cleaning, gardening, sports - anything that can't be done online.

Because the blockchain needs the internet, it's best for online retail, online gambling, finance (most of which is done online), remittences (most of which are done online), political fundraising (most of which is done online), and so on.

The biggest industries are definitely don't considering about the cryptocurrency in this situation because the value is like that so I think the future will be the answer for this question and mostly everything will definitely need the support from the blockchain sister and taken about their situation very soon.

We can see several times news like this. Those companies afford the blockchain who knows the benefits of blockchain. And I think one day most of all companies will be under the blockchain umbrella.

I have see some list of some industries that need blockchain and to me every facet of life actually needs blockchain technology.  I do believe that why many has not see the needs of blockchain technology in they fied or industries is because it is still new and we cannot really comprehend it impacts on our economic at the moment.

When they (corporations, companies) get rid of paper, and when they found out how faster, more reliable, accurate blockchain is they will move to crypto. Its a process that needs to go along with country laws, some company will not do anything against the law and risk expensive penalty for that. Most of them are waiting government approval what will happen very soon for some countries.
I think every industry will use blockchain in very near future.

Any industry which behind datas of its employees, records and etc, will certainly need Blockchain technology to improvise and minimize their risk and work. I am sure down the line in 5 to 10 years, every industry would  be depending / integrating blackchain technology into their system. Too many huge private sectors have started integrating and routing their datas into blockchain.

Indeed i also think most of industries who has employees need blockchain technology, in my opinion i think that the blockchain technology makes more easy to store data and access it in a fast way.

I agree.  The blockchain technology is needed only in those industries where there are more data arrays and which need to be stored or have quick access.

Gamers dont have a choice but to accept the terms and conditions of a game that they are playing  . in game items are also too costy because of vat or tax but they still accept it because they cant do anything about it  . however if blockchain will be implemented to every game or to a certain game , the game will be decentralized which means we cant expose our privacy/identity anymore  plus we can expect that the in game items will now be cheaper . the good thing is that we can also use cryptocurrency to buy in game items  . isnt that great ?

I don't think there is presently any industry or sector that won't need the blockchain technology if there are developers in that regard. Since the blockchain will make their work faster and easier and ensures transparency and integrity. In the coming years, almost every industry will have to migrate to blockchain for their workflow, it will be wise for young people and able body to study about the blockchain technology as it may end up being the highest employer of labour in the future.

I don’t think most of the industries needs Blockchain technology, it’s not really that important as some people would always be hyping it to be, so it’s not needed in most places. I think where the blockchain technology can be needed is when it comes to any industry that has to do with tech, just like Microsoft, Apple, Google and others like them. But if you check you will see that these companies don’t even make use of blockchain, except that Microsoft Xbox is accepting Bitcoin for their stores.

With each and every industry it is possible to integrate with blockchain technology for effective and efficient functioning. This is where the use of blockchain technology gets widened, and to the growing population it is not possible to meet all the necessities with the traditional system. This is where the blockchain technology takes the place and contributes good. Op has stated major ten industries that use blockchain technology, and in future every industry will be blockchain integrated.

I don't think so, agree that blockchain technology is useful in most industries, as you said, it can make data storage better and enhance the security in the work environment but in return, it still has many limitations, typically as data storage, because it guarantees too good, we will not be able to edit any data if that data has been stored, especially when we lose the key for logging in, it will be a bigger problem than ever. In addition, storage capacity is quite limited, with all such disadvantages, I believe that industries will soon realize that blockchain technology is not suitable for them

Well, I don’t really see why anyone should complain about the volatility cause that’s how it was meant to be and it has been like that from the start, and I also don’t think anything is going to be able to change it. Bitcoin is asset, and a lot of them are volatile, though the volatility when it comes to Bitcoin is too much, but that’s just how it is.

You should ask yourself if you would be here if the market was one that is stable, cause I’m very sure that majority of us all are here with plans to make money as the price goes up and nobody even wants the price to drop.

indeed everyone who knows their cryptocurrency and bitcoin has a plan to be able to get a lot of profits, but you have to know when they are just waiting without contributing to the coin price movements in the market, they will never be able to gain profits.

The development of oil industry will definitely need the help of cryptocurrency because it will be the future and also cryptocurrency play an important role in development of the future economy is this some time together it will be good for our world.

Most industries don't need a decentralized database.  The only real use I see is for currency that isn't controlled by any single person.  Everything else is much better served by a centralized database that is much more efficient. 

I see the efficiency , transparency, immutable and trustless feature of the blockchain technology can be used in all aspect of our life. The blockchain technology is useful to all industries with no exception. The need and the service an industry want to render are programmed as smart contracts on the blockchain. 

Blockchain can help make traditional companies transparent. This is one many reasons most companies may need it.  Another important benefit are data immutablity, security, the use of native coin which can be accepted/traded globally etc.

blockchain give us easiness to collect and processing data .and its already adopted in many in field in around the world.and also intitution developt their own blockchain for transparency in their company.

as blockchain p2p concept good for that payment country to country, when they use only one currency as global oil payment that is can be control of oil price around the world.

The last word there is key, efficiency.    Blockchain could be used for everything and thats great, its an adaptable technology and for some period of time it might be put into usage but unless its efficient it will be replaced by a better system or simply a cheaper one that does enough.   A v12 engine to deliver the milk is not needed when it can just be a simple electric motor and achieve the same task, thats where we find blockchain is not necessary when its overly complex, simplicity can win with less.

So I'd agree decentralised blockchain systems are most suited towards security and applications that require it and gain worth when that independence and security continues over many years with fault tolerance and no need for oversight to continue by any one body for overall integrity.   

In fact, it is much easier to list industries that the blockchain can really help, because in its majority of the majority of projects, blockchain is not needed. Of course technology has a wide range of applications, but very few projects have succeeded in this.

It's well recognised and yet often ignored. I'm no evildoer but I go diesel instead of hybrid or green, alkaline batts instead of rechargeable, to mention some choices I make that hippies keep crucifying people for. As soon as there is a better, cheaper, efficient alternative then we switch. Just as we now almost always use energy efficient lightbulbs.

On the other hand, I think people haven't understood how to calculate Bitcoin cost vs benefit yet which is why it is always used as a bad example of how blockchain isn't efficient for money (if only because of security alone, it is!).

It doesn't help that every ICO and their mother wants to disrupt decentralise democratise and revolutionise industries without an inkling of how inefficient their proposals are.

In my opinion all industries need blockchain technology because to be able to compete in tight trade competition must be able to increase efficiency which will impact on quality, quantity and price.
Blockchain is recognized by large companies to increase competitiveness because the productivity that is carried out has an effect on products that are created to be better, faster and cheaper.

in the modern world each and every Industries developing a lot show the payment method from the cryptocurrency is also important for them to move and take the next step for the development so nothing will be going with the future without the cryptocurrency

there are no blockchain technologies before and all industries are still working fine but with the help of blockchain technology  , all industries can become more trustable and secure  however not all are going to implement this idea because they are afraid that if blockchain gets thier way , their business will not be fully controllable anymore  ,

It can be implemented in all industries and most of them will do when they know about it and also have enough people with knowledge about blockchain technology.For now not enough people on this technology so industries also will wait for adoption from others.

if like that then there is no industry that needs blockchain technology. with blockchain technology, indeed project developers are worried about taking over their industries, but if we look at the bright side to be faster and more transparent, then any industry is very suitable for implementing blockchain technology for better operations

I think that the industry that says it does not need a Blockchain-based technology is totally closed and does not want progress, because now blockchain technology solves problems that generate many delays in any process.

If in the distributed systems, and in the systems based on Industrial Instrumentation together with the machines it can be combined with the blockchain technology so that the processes are more efficient, it would be the ideal adoption so that there are no errors in transmission networks, and this applies to any company of whatever it is that is dedicated.

Today I do not believe that there is any company that refuses this technology.

And from the electronic point of view it is very useful for the transmission of data, there is technology where you can make a compatability using tools so that processes in technology such as Wi-Max are much faster, and communications are done with more quality.

Right now, any industry using internet technology and i think blockchain technology can applied in many industry or bussiness. Blockchain technology offering transparancy and lower cost and i am believe every bussiness want to save a lot cost

the industry can implement blockchain technology and develop blockchain technology to such an extent, but currently those who are able and able to develop blockchain technology are still few and even though there are very expensive costs because this is still classified as new and very rare technology that can build blockchain for their industries.

I think right now almost all industries need blockchain technology because in the blockchain there will be no data manipulated by certain parties, such as in the world of banking, police, and even hospitals I feel the need for blockchain technology in conducting medical records for patients to handle certain patient diseases can run quickly, and efficiently so that many patients will be helped and treated because effective services use the blockchain.

I think home industries also need a blockchain to keep up with the times. with the blockchain excellence from several aspects it will certainly be more useful to develop their company. and this will bring cryptocurrency to develop well too. moreover now many governments have implemented blockchain for various purposes

Certainly almost all industry needs blockchain, the home industry could be part of the real estate industry, and we already have a lot of projects here in crypto dealing with the industry mentioned. IIRC, before, https://coinmarketcap.com/ sort coins or tokens in a certain industry, but now I'm not seeing it, they are back with the old format.

I was trying very hard to find out which of them do not need blockchain and I understood that these technologies can be used everywhere. Suppose that less than 5 years will pass, and all will realize it.

Such industries and businesses in which the storage and management of data has a secondary role. Such industries as sales, marketing, etc. I am extremely skeptical of such projects, they create coins only for collecting money.

It is not about collecting money, here the tokenizing takes place. Based on the demand the respective growth gets reflected over the particular tokens. This serves almost same as the shares of a company, but everything gets interconnected to the working platform while with shares the financial sector will be found separate.

First of all, make sure you're looking at actual, demonstratable, proven results of implemented blockchain technology, not just the hype and hypothetical.
Secondly, not all companies want their proprietary or their customer's private information made public. And private blockchains may offer little to no value over standard private databases.

Blockchain technology does seem like it can be very useful in some applications, but just a couple things to think about.

Have a good day,
