Global Embedded Finance Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By End-use, By Business Model (B2B, B2C, B2B2B and B2B2C), By Type, By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2023 - 2029

Analysis of Market Size & Trends

The Global Embedded Finance Market size is expected to reach $384.8 billion by 2029, rising at a market growth of 30.0% CAGR during the forecast period.

Embedded banking is growing at a high rate as the financial institutions are providing Banking-as-a-service (BaaS) offerings for fulfilling the demand of embedded finance. Hence, it is anticipated to capture approximately 1/5^th share of the market by 2029. When a company uses embedded banking, it may access the same banking features on a single platform that streamlines and simplifies the banking experience. Some of the factors impacting the market are growing smartphone and internet penetration, technological advancements supporting market growth, and a potential risk of embedded lending is taking on excessive loans.

The spread of smartphones & internet connectivity has been a major driver of the market's development. The demand for financial services delivered via mobile devices will increase as more people access these technologies. In recent years, the expanding acceptance of mobile wallets and the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) are clear indications of this trend. Technically, developing specialized services became simpler with the shift from mono-core architectures to microservices and containers. The same banks will have an easier time accepting the idea of offering their services as embedded finance products to other businesses if they eventually move all their IT systems to specialized services and APIs. As a result, businesses seeking to incorporate embedded finance products into their ecosystem are starting to view payment services as a collection of modules put together by additional businesses.

However, although these interactive financial tools have many advantages, there are also some drawbacks. Consumers may feel compelled to take greater risks with smaller loans as credit becomes more widely available. These fees might add up over time, particularly if the consumer owns more than one. They can then discover they have more debt than anticipated and stop making payments.

Type Outlook

Based on type, the market is segmented into embedded payment, embedded insurance, embedded investment, embedded lending, and embedded banking. In 2022, the embedded payment segment dominated the market with the maximum revenue share. Traditional invoicing techniques are replaced with embedded payments, which give firms a quicker and more effective means to receive payments. These payments not only give customers access to other funding sources, but they also make shopping simpler for them, leading to better levels of pleasure and loyalty. Businesses can anticipate higher income and improved brand loyalty as a result. As a result, it is anticipated to fuel segment growth over the forecast period.

Business Model Outlook

By business model, the market is fragmented into B2B, B2C, B2B2B, and B2B2C. The B2C segment garnered a significant revenue share in the market in 2022. The rising popularity of B2C embedded finance is responsible for the segment's expansion. The rise in adoption can be related to companies need to offer clients a seamless experience and boost income by supplying cutting-edge financial goods and services. In addition, several e-commerce businesses are also engaged in providing embedded finance services, including wallet payment services and buy now, pay later.

End-use Outlook

On the basis of end-use, the market is divided into retail, healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, travel & entertainment, and others. In 2022, the retail segment held the highest revenue share in the market. Online retailers started providing their own financial services and goods at the point of sale, including individualized credit options, insurance, cards & accounts, and more. These products' accessibility and convenience prompted an inevitable shift in what customers expected. When projecting the future of retail, embedded finance has the ability to completely transform the industry by enabling companies to forge closer connections with their clients while boosting sales and utilizing data-driven business models. As a result, the market is growing in this segment.
