Tokenized Equipment-Leasing Global Market Report 2025

The tokenized equipment-leasing market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $2.24 billion in 2024 to $2.76 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.3%. The growth in the historic period is driven by rising demand for asset financing, limited access to traditional leasing channels, increasing adoption of blockchain in financial services, growing need for operational efficiency, and supportive regulatory frameworks for digital finance.

The tokenized equipment-leasing market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.44 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be connected to the expansion of decentralized finance platforms, integration of AI and IoT in equipment tracking, increasing SME adoption of tokenized assets, rising cross border leasing opportunities, enhanced cybersecurity, and smart contract solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of blockchain technology for secure leasing transactions, integration of smart contracts to automate lease agreements, growing use of fractional ownership models, development of decentralized finance platforms for equipment leasing, and enhanced digital platforms enabling real time tracking and management of leased assets.

The rising decentralized finance (DeFi) is expected to accelerate the growth of the tokenized equipment leasing market going forward. Decentralized finance (DeFi) refers to blockchain based financial systems that enable peer to peer transactions without intermediaries. The decentralized finance (DeFi) is increasing due to the growing demand for transparent, accessible, and intermediary free financial services powered by blockchain technology, as it allows users to directly manage assets, earn yields, and access global financial opportunities without depending on traditional banking systems. Tokenized equipment leasing aligns with decentralized finance (DeFi) by transforming physical leasing agreements into digital tokens on blockchain, allowing fractional ownership, transparent transactions, and improved liquidity while providing access to global investors and minimizing reliance on traditional intermediaries. For instance, in January 2025, according to Ernst and Young Global Limited, a UK based accounting company, in 2025, the share of respondents engaging with DeFi is projected to nearly triple within two years, increasing from 24 percent to 75 percent. Therefore, the rising decentralized finance (DeFi) is accelerating the growth of the tokenized equipment leasing market.
