Trends are similar in the Latin America and Middle East region, where demand for credit is growing among consumers as well as businesses.
Going forward, mergers and acquisition deals are expected to grow in the global alternative lending segment, as more and more players seek to enter the industry and expand into the global region. Strategic collaborations between fintech firms are expected to lead to new product launches in the market, thereby driving the competitive landscape and innovation in the industry. Overall, the alternative lending market is forecast to grow at an accelerated pace over the next five years.
The competitive landscape is poised to grow significantly in the Latin American alternative lending market
With a large chunk of the population falling under the unbanked and underbanked category, the Latin American market presents wide headroom for growth in the alternative lending market over the next five years. To tap into the growing opportunity and offer convenient lending solutions to consumers, fintech firms are entering the market with their innovative products.
In March 2023, Pismo, the fintech firm based in Brazil, introduced a lending tool in response to the growing credit demand among consumers. The lending tool is aimed at simplifying the process by disbursing loans digitally and at a faster speed compared to traditional banks.
The foray of these fintech firms into the growing alternative lending segment will further drive the competitive landscape, supporting the growth of the overall market from the short to medium-term perspective.
Africa-based alternative lending providers are raising funding rounds to launch new products and accelerate growth
In Africa, small and medium-sized enterprises find it difficult to access credit through traditional channels. As a result, alternative lending providers are in high demand among SMEs when it comes to access to credit. To serve the growing demand, firms are raising venture capital and private equity funding in Africa.
In February 2023, Lulalend, the South Africa-based digital lender, announced that the firm had raised US$35 million in a Series B funding round, which was led by Lightrock. Over the past three years, the firm had embedded its credit solution into partners such as Vodacom, e-commerce giant Takealot, and fintech firm Yoco to disburse credit to SMEs. Businesses operating in construction, retail, and hospitality are also seeking credit from Lulalend.
Going forward, more such SME-focused alternative lenders are expected to raise funding rounds in Africa to reduce the annual credit gap in the SME sector across the region over the next five years.
More and more fintech firms are foraying into the digital lending segment in the Asia Pacific region
Over the next five years, the Asia Pacific alternative lending market is poised to record accelerated growth, amid the growing demand for credit among consumers as well as businesses. With the high growth potential of the sector, many fintech firms are making their foray into the sector.
In India, Tiger Global-backed savings startups Jar revealed that the firm is foraying into the digital lending segment to tap into the credit-starved market. To provide credit services, the firm had entered into strategic alliances with the likes of Liquiloans and other non-banking financial institutions.
Jar's entry into the segment comes at a time when some of the leading fintech players have announced to enter the consumer lending market in India. PhonePe, for instance, is looking to apply for an NBFC license to enter the segment and diversify its revenue stream. Jupiter, the neo-banking platform, also secured an NBFC license from the central bank to offer lending products.
