Current Scenario of the FinTech Industry
In modern times, fin has evolved into an important pillar of the Indian financial system. Customers have fully embraced incorporating digitalization into their lifestyles via digital payment, investing technology, online-only insurance, and other means. In reality, digital use has spread beyond consumers and into businesses. Due to the rise of this payment ecosystem enabled by technology and advances, a variety of safe, secure, cutting-edge, and effective payment methods are now widely available. Digital lending has also expanded significantly, owing to the Indian market's durability and adaptability, as well as consumers' understanding and adoption of cuttingedge technologies. Over the previous five years, more than $9 billion has been invested in digital lending, and an EY estimate predicts that the market will be worth $515 billion by 2030. Aside from that, 2022 witnessed an increase in cross border trade, which aided local payment systems in gaining popularity and general recognition outside of the country.
In India, given that finTech has played an essential role in the financial year 2022, it is anticipated to expand significantly in the year 2023 and beyond. According to the National Investment Promotion and Facilitation Agency (NIPFA), India has the highest finTech adoption rate globally at 87 percent, which is significantly higher than the global average rate of 64 percent. In fact, given the scenario, it is not surprising that due to the growth, various global finTech firms are on the lookout to set up their bases in India and, as a result, are anticipated to continue to grow and expand as time goes on.
The Path towards Advancement
Given that finTech was a significant component of the financial ecosystem in 2022, it is anticipated to expand significantly in 2023. And as we move forward to boost growth traction, there will be more innovation and collaboration among banks. In this context, banking as a service(BaaS) has developed as a critical component in the financial industry. As a result, we will soon be able to switch bank accounts without difficulty. Furthermore, the number of new banking platforms has gradually increased in recent years. According to an EY analysis, investment in Indian neobanks is poised to reach $215 billion by 2023. The personalized financial solutions supplied by neo-banks are valued by India's young working population as much as traditional banks. When time passes, more banks and consumers will consider working with neo-banks.
The finTech industry in India is growing rapidly, driven by the increasing adoption of digital payments and financial services. According to a report by NASSCOM, the Indian finTech market is projected to reach $150–160 billion by 2025, with a CAGR of 22 percent. The COVID-19 pandemic has also accelerated the shift towards digital payments and financial services, leading to increased adoption of finTech solutions in India. The regulatory environment for finTech in India has also been evolving, with initiatives such as the Reserve Bank of India's regulatory sandbox and the National Payments Corporation of India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI) driving innovation in the industry. However, the sector also faces challenges such as increasing competition, regulatory uncertainty, and the need for sustained innovation to maintain growth.
