Factors Affecting the Growth of the Fintech Industry:
● Digital Transformation Imperative
Digital transformation is changing industries and consumer behavior in ways we cannot reverse. These changes are the impetus for growth in the fintech market. Consumers want sophisticated, easy, seamless, and personalized digital experiences, especially in finance. This desire becomes a call to action for traditional banks to offer digital solutions and keeps agile fintech companies actively fighting against the status quo.
Services like mobile banking, digital payments, online lending, and robo-advisors, are revolutionizing how people and businesses spend and invest their money, and the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated this change. It exposed people's need for legitimacy alongside remote and contactless financial options. As more people become digitally savvy, they will embrace increasingly rare technologies. This will increase the calls for more fintech innovations designed around efficiency, accessibility, and user experience, which helps fintech firms capture market share. Such a transformation is not just changing how we digitize old financial processes, it is transforming how we view the delivery and consumption of financial services in a digital world.
● Regulatory Landscape Evolution
Regulatory changes make up a significant part of the fintech world. Governments and regulators tend to be supportive of innovation, while providing consumer protection and financial stability, resulting in varying forms of new regulations, regulatory sandboxes and open banking initiatives, enabling additional competition and imagination in financial services.
While regulations can be an obstacle for the success of fintech companies, they also provide a structure that consumers and investors can trust and count on. Open finance is the wider application of the methodologies of open banking, in that it will include more types of financial data and services. This represents yet another opportunity for innovation.
Fintech companies will also need to adapt to the regulatory changes, and advocate for legislation and regulation that is equitable and fair. This will be an important aspect of the value of fintech companies, and will ultimately have an impact on how the market shapes for employment and market growth, and and kind shape it takes going forward. The balance of innovation versus regulations will continue to influence the fintech world.
● Unmet Financial Needs
The primary propulsion of fintech growth is the unfulfilled demand for better financial services in the world's largest and neglected landscapes. The vast majority of banks are indifferent to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), gig and self-employed economy workers, and consumers who have thin credit or are otherwise considered newbies. The functionality and efficiency of fintech firms leverage technology to fill the gaps in existing financial services. They are providing alternative credit scoring mechanisms, micro lending, digital payments for the unbanked, tailored financial solutions, and other solutions. The remaining parts of the market are largely dormant. Fintech are creating solutions from neglected customers, better financial services, and sometimes driving financial inclusion. Their competitive niche position is based on lower-cost services and user-friendly usability, which explains their ability to dominate in such generally corroded parts of the financial services industry. There can only be more demand for fintech activity in the future, and the existence of competition stems from the fact that demand for services facilitates financial inclusion, and demand drives fintech activity.
