NEWARK, N.J. – As per the report published by The Brainy Insights, the global fintech market is expected to grow from USD 115.34 billion in 2021 to USD 936.51 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 26.2% during the forecast period 2022-2030.

The demand for fintech has grown fast in recent years and is expected to grow much more throughout the forecast period. This expansion can be attributed to the rising demand for digital financial services such as online payments, digital wallets, mobile banking & online fund transfers for a faster, safe, and seamless customer experience.

Integrating technology such as API, AI, data analytics & blockchain with traditional financial services is called fintech or financial technology. However, due to conflicting government regulations and increasing instances of cyber-attacks on financial services, the adoption of fintech by consumers is restricted. Furthermore, the rising applications of API and AI to build a customer-centric approach for service deliveries will provide lucrative opportunities to the market players. Using fintech increases financial service providers’ efficiency and compliance rate, which is expected to boost market growth throughout the forecast period considerably.
