According to a report, there are currently 2.8 Billion gamers globally. Europe accounts for 391 Million gamers, Africa/Middle East holds 388 Million, 274 Million are residing in Latin America, and more.

Supply chain sector can use the token to store metadata on blockchain technology, the gaming industry is already using the concept in the form of avatars, virtual lands and more.
