Global outlook of the shadow banking market

Technavio’s market research analysts have predicted that the global shadow banking market will grow steadily at a CAGR of about 11% by 2020. Small and medium enterprises lack high-quality collateral, have long credit histories, and are associated with higher risks, so they are unable to avail huge funds from traditional banks. Shadow banking systems allow financial institutions to provide credit to the marginalized borrowers. Owing to this, most small and medium enterprises often prefer shadow banks to meet their short-term financial requirements. Moreover, traditional banking institutions have failed to address the specific needs of potential clients and this, in turn, has brought in a huge funding gap between the large corporate and the small and medium enterprises. Shadow banking institutions offer quicker access to credit, and this is considered to be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of this market in the coming years.

Shadow banking supports the funding of micro, small, and medium enterprises and the market has a tremendous growth potential across the globe, especially in the US and the UK. Regulators support crowdfunding platforms to get money transfer licenses, which will help customers grow exponentially. Niche segments such as gaming, education, research, and music have started forming platforms to provide better services and crowdfunding practices, thereby, helping them reduce costs and claims. In addition to crowdfunding, peer-to-peer lending will be another major factor that will gain traction in the shadow financial systems market. This platform connects both lenders and borrowers, offers clear visibility in terms of the level of risk attached with the investments, and facilitates cross-border investments. It also helps lenders with better collateral information and management systems, allowing them to make efficient underwriting decisions.

Competitive landscape and key vendors

Recently, there has been an increase in the number of shadow banks in this market, which has brought about a lot of changes in the financial reform legislation. In this market, the financial institutions have increased commercial and investment lending, which has, in turn, facilitated borrowing among small businesses. Though the rise in small business credit demand will take time to fill up the working capital gap, it is expected to increase during the forecast period. This is expected to have a huge scope for the non-traditional and asset-based loan market.

Additionally, the introduction of stricter regulations on traditional financial institutions is also expected to augment the demand for credit offerings from non-financial institutions.
