Key Trends in the Market

Alternative financing refers to funding or financing that is granted by mediums other than traditional lenders like banks. Some examples of alternative lenders are investment funds, private equity firms, credit unions, hedge funds, and venture capital investors. Alternative financing typically boasts a quicker and easier lending process and offers loans without collateral at low-interest rates.

  • One of the key alternative financing market trends is the emerging shift from traditional financing options like banks to alternative financing modes like crowdfunding and corporate venture capital, especially among start-ups and small and medium-sized enterprises. Such financing modes are flexible, boast an easy application process and quick approval turnaround, and eliminate the requirement for collateral.
  • The emergence of fintech in both developed and developing countries is positively impacting the alternative financing market growth. Fintech companies are increasingly providing alternative financing solutions with flexible repayment options, lowered interest rates, and personalised terms, surging the accessibility of lending among underserved populations and organisations.
  • The trend of digitalisation and virtualisation, supported by Industry 4.0, is expected to support the alternative financing market growth in the forecast period. Moreover, lenders are increasingly leveraging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to improve their operational efficiency and quality of offerings, automate various processes, analyse credit scoring of borrowers, and offer personalised services to clients.
