Vendor Landscape - The global alternative finance market is fragmented, with the presence of several global as well as regional vendors. The market is witnessing a significant level of competition among global and regional vendors that provide solutions as well as services for alternative finance. Global players have established themselves in the market and are offering innovative solutions as well as services to clients worldwide. These players are also focusing on expanding their customer base across the world.

Segment Overview
Technavio has segmented the market based on type (P2P lending, crowdfunding, and invoice trading) and geography (APAC, North America, Europe, South America, and MEA).

• The alternative finance market share growth by the P2P lending segment will be significant during the forecast period. In this model, investors provide loans to businesses, SMEs, and startups to set up or run their operations. Many SMEs have started using P2P lending platforms over recent five years as securing loans from banks has become difficult, and overdraft limits have been reduced in several countries. In addition, the rise in the number of online consumer lending platforms and the increasing use of technology in financial transactions are driving the growth of the segment.

Geography Overview
By geography, the global alternative finance market is segmented into APAC, North America, Europe, South America, and MEA. The report provides actionable insights and estimates the contribution of all regions to the growth of the global alternative finance market.

• APAC will account for 73% of the market growth during the forecast period. Factors such as the increasing penetration of the Internet and smartphones, the rapid growth of social media, and the increasing number of SMEs and startups are driving the growth of the alternative finance market in APAC. Also, the rising adoption of online platforms for lending and the presence of global and regional vendors are contributing to the growth of the regional market.

Leading Drivers – 

The market is driven by better returns offered by alternative finance. Compared to fixed deposits and bonds offered by financial institutions, alternative finance provides better returns. This is due to the lower operating cost of alternative finance compared with banks and other financial institutions. Alternative finance platforms have almost no physical assets such as offices and have low human resource and operating costs, low cost of capital acquisition, and low collection and billing costs. Also, since all transactions in alternative finance take place online, investors gain better returns. Such high returns offered by alternative finance platforms are driving the growth of the market in focus.

Key Trends – 

The rapid growth of alternative finance in APAC is identified as the key trend in the market. The demand for alternative financing is increasing in APAC due to a rise in the number of startups and SMEs in the region. For instance, by the end of 2018, the number of SMEs in China was approximately 18.07 million. Similarly, as of March 2020, there were 63.3 million SMEs present across India. This rise in the number of SMEs is creating significant opportunities for vendors operating in the region. Alternative finance solutions and service providers are helping SMEs by strengthening their access to credit and equity. In addition, rising internet penetration and the increasing use of smartphones are driving the growth of the global alternative finance market.

Major challenges – 

The high risk of credit default is one of the key challenges hindering the growth of the market. Many borrowers do not qualify for loans from traditional financial institutions as the chance of defaulting is high. This discourages many financers from investing in alternative finance, which may force alternative finance providers to decline borrowers or charge a higher rate of interest. These factors are reducing the growth potential in the market.
