The global Factoring Services Market size is expected to reach USD 5,973.9 billion by 2028, registering a CAGR of 8.4%, from 2021 to 2028, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth can be attributed to the increasing number of open trade accounts, the expansion of businesses in the Asian market, mainly led by China, the rise in cross-border factoring, and the rapid development of factoring services across the European Union. Moreover, the increasing need for an alternative source of financing for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) has also been driving the market growth. Additionally, the implementation of blockchain technology in factoring solutions is likely to help improve the overall supply chain by reducing operational costs for businesses.
Several factors are likely to impede the demand for factoring in emerging markets, including archaic regulations hindering the growth of receivables purchase programs, such as the continued use of stamp duty tax, laws limiting the rights of assignment, and foreign currency restrictions. However, the development of receivables registries is increasing to safeguard from fraud/scam or factoring rules that can guard the industry against unfair regulations. However, the increasing focus of regulators on data management and extensive adoption of real-time payments networks are expected to help in reducing complexities in trade finance. The increased demand for drafting proper laws to govern factoring transactions, such as the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Model Law on Secured Transactions, is also expected to boost the market in the coming years.
Furthermore, the rising implementation of digital platforms in trade financing and increasing cross-border trade activities are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in travel bans, quarantines, lockdowns, flight cancellations, and increased panic among people, adversely affecting industries and sectors globally. However, the factoring market is expected to rebound gradually in the short as well as the long term.
