Increasing Home Ownership Aspirations Drive the Global Market

According to Straits Research, “The global mortgage lender market revenue was valued at USD 11 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 25 billion by 2031, registering a CAGR of 9.6% during the forecast period (2023 to 2031).” Young professionals and families want to acquire homes in a rapidly urbanizing and economically booming nation. Homeowners need mortgage loans to buy homes as urban areas increase. In 2020, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) expects 31% of first-time homebuyers, up from 33% in 2019. First-time buyers are rising because younger people want to own property. Urbanization and middle-class growth in India and China have raised residential property demand. Demand has increased due to easy mortgage financing and government programs encouraging homeownership. In a country with complex mortgage regulations, lenders must meet strict lending standards, carefully evaluate borrowers, and maintain correct records. Lenders must also follow transparency and consumer protection laws. These regulatory tasks may take time and resources for lenders.

According to a World Bank study, high-income countries register property in 20 days, whereas low- and middle-income countries require 53 days. These figures show mortgage lenders' property registration and compliance administrative burden. The U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) regulates TILA and RESPA to protect mortgage clients. Noncompliance can result in significant penalties and damage to lenders' reputations. Lenders processing and storing borrower data must comply with the GDPR's strict privacy and security requirements. GDPR compliance may require mortgage lenders to spend more on data protection.

Growing Influence of Fintech Creates Tremendous Opportunities

A traditional mortgage lender collaborates with an online mortgage marketplace fintech platform. Using smart algorithms and data analytics, the fintech platform matches customers with acceptable mortgage alternatives from a network of lenders. Due to this collaboration, the conventional lender obtains access to a broader pool of potential customers who choose digital mortgage options and a simple application procedure. The lender's wide mortgage product offerings and established reputation help the fintech platform, improving its value proposition to borrowers. According to Deloitte research, 80% of mortgage customers in the United States prefer to apply for a mortgage online, demonstrating the great need for digital mortgage solutions. Fintech platforms that cater to this inclination have the potential to attract a huge number of customers. Fintech mortgage financing platforms frequently tout speedier processing times and less paperwork, resulting in faster approvals and payouts. According to Ellie Mae's research, the average time to finalize a mortgage loan has fallen from 44 days in 2013 to 40 days in 2019, which can be ascribed in part to greater digitalization in the lending process. P2P lending services, a type of fintech lending, have grown in popularity worldwide. Thereby providing an opportunity for mortgage lender market growth.
