Service segment insights
The various services provided in the fintech sector are regtech, payment/billing, insurtech, money transfer/remittance, mortgage/real estate, and others (lending, capital market, and wealth management). Among these segments, the payment/billing services will be the major growth driver in the global market, leading to a revenue generation of USD 207.11 Bn by 2023. This growth can be attributed to contactless cards and the emergence of retail-focused fintech companies looking to expand the use of this functionality by taking it to every corner of commerce. Popularity of payment apps like GoUrl, Cayan, Stripe, and Amazon Pay, among customers and retailers, will further drive the market. Regtech is expected to expand at a CAGR of 22.05%, followed by payment/billing. This is mainly due to the implementation of new regulations pertaining to the fintech sector.

The major technologies involved in the fintech sector are artificial intelligence (AI), Blockchain, cryptography, biometrics and identity management, cyber-security, and robotic process automation (RPA). Major growth will be witnessed in the areas of AI and Blockchain, attracting major investments during the forecast period (2018-2023). AI interfaces and chatbots have redefined customer services, and its growing popularity will enable the AI-oriented fintech market to expand at a CAGR of 21.72% during the 2018-2023 period. Blockchain-based fintech companies are also gaining traction, having received significant investments in 2018.

North America is the leading contributor to the global fintech market and is expected to reach USD 80.8 Bn by 2023. However, the pace of growth in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is anticipated to be the highest, expanding at a CAGR of 43.34% during the 2018-2023 period.

In the APAC fintech market, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and India are the key contributing countries. Latin America (LATAM), on the other hand, is slowly emerging as one of the prominent regions in terms of fintech development, majorly driven by initiatives being undertaken in Mexico and Brazil.
