This market research analysis identifies the diversification of investment pattern in emerging countries as one of the primary growth factors for this market.

Many Islamic banking institutions have already started seeking strategic partnerships with foreign financial institutions to step up expansions in foreign countries and also benefit from opportunities in untapped markets. The rising disposable incomes have also encouraged more people to invest in Shariah-compliant products. Moreover, the increasing competition, the growing demand with greater sophistication, and innovation in products and services will also add to the growth of the market.
