Fintech 2024: Upward Surge or Declining Force?

The rise of fintech has been a success story, with financial technologies transforming the way businesses, consumers, and investors manage their banking and financial services. Industry experts predict that fintech revenue will increase sixfold from $245 billion to $1.5 trillion by 2030, with the sector’s global share of financial services revenue growing from 2% to 7%. Several factors contribute to this projected growth, including the rise of new fintech markets outside of established jurisdictions and the increasing demand for local fintech solutions in emerging markets. The UAE is a clear example of an emerging fintech hub, with the government’s support and investment in infrastructure allowing fintech to flourish. Other emerging hubs, such as Central Asia, can learn from the experiences of established fintech markets and create an environment that supports industry growth. As established fintech hubs enter a period of consolidation, industry growth is likely to occur in these emerging markets.
