The personal finance apps market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The personal finance apps market has grown exponentially in recent years. It will increase from $132.92 billion in 2024 to $167.09 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.7%.

The personal finance apps market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The personal finance apps market is projected to experience exponential growth, reaching $412.22 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 25.3%.
Growth is driven by digitalization, increased money management awareness, smartphone penetration, growing demand for financial services, and mobile banking. Trends include integration with financial institutions, personalized features, AI technology, product innovations, and predictive analytics for risk management.
Increased digital banking is forecasted to stimulate the expansion of the personal finance apps market. Essentially, digital banking is the digitization of all traditional banking activities and programs, which were previously only available to customers inside a bank setup. The surge in digital banking can be linked to several factors like ease and availability, increased interest rates, smooth account maintenance, and financial involvement. Personal finance apps support digital banking by equipping users with extensive tools for finance management, augmenting their banking interactions, and encouraging increased participation with digital banking services. For instance, as reported by E-commerce Tips (a US-based company providing e-commerce guides and insights) in January 2024, the volume of people in United States utilizing two or more methods of digital payments increased from 51% in 2021 to 62% in 2022. Additionally, e-commerce - the largest component of the global digital payments market - amounted to $6.310 trillion in 2023 and is forecasted to grow to $6.913 trillion by the end of 2024. As digital wallets like PayPal, Venomo, and ApplePay gain popularity, usage of credit cards and checks for B2B transactions in the United States still constitute 39% and 26%, respectively. Therefore, the escalating popularity of digital banking is fueling the expansion of the personal finance apps market.
