The payments research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides payments statistics, including payments industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with payments share, detailed payments segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the payments industry. This payments research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry. The global payments market grew from $511.87 billion in 2021 to $560.6 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, effecting many markets across the globe. The payments market is expected to grow to $776.1 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 8.5%. The outbreak of COVID-19 is expected to drive the growth of the payments market over the forecast period. Contactless payments are becoming a preferred payment method in the current pandemic situation because less human contact is required. Contactless payment systems at the point of service, such as facial recognition, Quick Response (QR) codes, or Near-field Communication (NFCs), will render the virus less likely to spread to others via payment exchanges. In the first quarter of 2020, the credit card giant Mastercard announced a 40% increase in contactless payments as the global pandemic deepened. Therefore, the widespread of the coronavirus is expected to propel the contactless payment market's growth in the forecast period. The increasing fraud in payments has impacted the growth of the payments market. Payment fraud is a form of fraudulent or unlawful transaction carried out by a cybercriminal. Fraudsters use third-party platforms such as e-commerce portals to defraud consumers by charging for products or items that are never shipped. According to Merchant Savvy, global losses from payment fraud have tripled to $32.39 in 2020 and are expected to continue to cost $40.62 billion in 2027, which is 25% higher than in 2020. Therefore, the increase in fraud cases restrains the growth of the payments market. The integration of biometric authentication technology into payments is a key trend gaining popularity in the payments market. Biometric authentication is a specific and significant payment method that integrates and offers accuracy, effectiveness, and protection within a single package. The methods of authentication include fingerprint scanners, facial recognition, iris recognition, pulse tracking, and venous mapping. For example, In January 2022, Apple Inc., a company operating in payments based in the United States, introduced an iOS 15.4 beta periocular biometrics that allows Face ID to be used with a mask and without an Apple Watch for biometric authentication. In November 2020, Refinitiv, a London-based financial services company, acquired GIACT for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition of GIACT’s fraud prevention capabilities brings new offerings to Refinitiv’s customers by enhancing and broadening Refinitiv’s digital identity verification and document proofing solutions. GIACT is a US-based financial services company.

The asset servicing market consists of services for wealth management companies and capital markets. Asset servicing comprises services such as reorganisation and proxy services, safekeeping services for physical securities and dividends, and electronic registration and transfer of securities. The asset servicing industry is a critical component of global financial markets and plays a vital role in the safekeeping of financial assets. The main services offered in asset servicing are fund services, custody and accounting, outsourcing services, and securities lending. Securities lending is the process of lending shares of stock, commodities, derivative contracts, or other securities to other investors or firms. The borrower must put up collateral in the form of cash, other assets, or a letter of credit when applying for a security loan. The services are offered to large enterprises, medium-sized and small enterprises, capital markets, and wealth management firms. The asset servicing research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides asset servicing statistics, including asset servicing industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with asset servicing shares, detailed asset servicing segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the asset servicing industry. This asset servicing research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry. The global asset servicing market is expected to grow from $712.8 billion in 2021 to $784.03 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions affecting many markets across the globe. The asset servicing market is expected to grow to $1,149.92 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 10%. Globalization acts as a major driver for the growth of the asset servicing industry. According to a study on global asset servicing, nearly 60% of asset services in Assets Under Administration (AUA) and Assets Under Contract (AUC) predict that globalisation is likely to be a strong driver for the asset servicing market’s growth over the coming years. The players dealing in the asset servicing industry are majorly focusing on the APAC markets and other growing economies. Moreover, according to the BNP Paribas Securities Services article published in January 2020, India was expected to experience impressive growth in the asset management and servicing industry owing to the increasing working population, the rising buying power of the populace, and expected growth in the GDP of the country. Thus, globalisation creates a large avenue for the expansion and growth of the asset servicing market over the coming years. The stringent regulatory framework is predicted to limit the growth of the asset servicing industry over the forecast period. According to Funds Europe’s asset servicing roundtable, rising global regulation is adding cost and risk to asset servicing, creating a requirement for asset servicers to constantly engage with clients and regulators. In addition to this, according to EY’s new opportunities for asset servicing study, nearly 75% of the companies see the impact of regulations as the greater risk facing the asset servicing industry. Therefore, the increased scrutiny from regulatory agencies is anticipated to hinder the asset service market’s growth in the coming years. Robotic process automation (RPA) or automation is a major trend shaping the growth of the asset servicing market. Robotic process automation alone could reduce the headcount by 60–70% in the asset servicing industry while also achieving cost savings of approximately 30–40%. Robotic process automation (RPA) refers to a set of software tools known as bots or robots that are used to perform a repetitive or routine business process that is currently used by transaction processing teams or service centers. RPA can replace manual tasks involved in asset servicing such as reconciliation, trade processing, and reporting for regulators and clients, reducing the time required with cost-efficiency. For instance, the ANZ Banking Group was one of the early ones to adopt RPA aggressively and automated its HR, finance, and technology processes in its Bengaluru hub, creating thousands of bots. In April 2020, JP Morgan sought to take whole ownership of China International Fund Management (CIFM), a local asset management firm, for an amount of $1 billion. This step was taken following China's reforms on the elimination of caps on foreign companies' taking full control of local asset management operations. This acquisition is expected to enable JP Morgan's long-term involvement with CIFM and strengthen the company’s position in the Chinese market. China International Fund Management (CIFM) was founded in 2004 and offers asset management and related services to China.

The blockchain services market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides blockchain services market statistics, including blockchain services industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a blockchain services market share, detailed blockchain services market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the blockchain services industry. This blockchain services market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry. The global blockchain services market grew from $2.94 billion in 2021 to $4.65 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 58.0%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, effecting many markets across the globe. The blockchain services market is expected to grow to $35.3 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 66.0%. There is a growing significance of blockchain services with increased investments in blockchain technology from both government and private entities like banks and financial institutions. The blockchain technology gives rise to new business models in various areas such as cross-border payments, remittance, exchanges, internet banking, trade finance, Know Your Customers (KYC), and risk and compliance with decentralized applications of this technology. In 2019, the South Korean government allotted a budget of KRW 1 trillion for blockchain development among the KRW 5 trillion budget for economic development through innovation. Among the total cryptocurrency trading worldwide, 30% was from South Korea. The increased use of blockchain technology in organizations will require services to manage the networks and infrastructure, which will increase the demand for blockchain services and boost market growth. The inefficiency of scalability in blockchain technology impedes the blockchain services market as it obstructs the processes involved. There is a partial dependence of the blockchain network's health over the number of nodes in the network and the spread of those nodes across the world. The bigger the blocks, the increase in the size of the blockchain is even faster which removes out the solo miners, and that eventually results in more pile-up of transactions. For instance, bitcoin scalability is an issue that resulted from the limited rate of processing of transactions that relates to an increase in the number of transactions and the limited size of blocks. In 2019, the blockchain size has grown to 242.386 GB. According to Blockchain.com's mempool transaction count, the high number of unconfirmed transactions coincides with Bitcoin reaching new multi-month highs. Bitcoin surpassed a $13,745 threshold in October 2021, nearly matching its previous peak of $13,970 in June 2019 resulting in scaling issues due to a huge number of transactions. Thus, an increase in the number of transactions results in scalability issues, which hampers the growth of the blockchain services market. Quantum computing is gaining popularity in the blockchain space that will help overcome the problems faced in providing blockchain services. Quantum computing is a process that uses quantum-mechanical phenomena like superposition and quantum entanglement for computing. Quantum computing utilizes qubits that help in the storage and processing of a large amount of data exponentially fast with less energy consumption, unlike conventional computers that use bits for the same process. In 2019, Google announced that its quantum computer performed a calculation in 200 seconds which had a 53-qubit Sycamore processor. The same would take 10,000 years for the world's fastest supercomputer, Summit, a supercomputer by IBM. The use of quantum computing will help resolve issues related to scalability and higher energy consumption by blockchain technology. In March 2020, Genesis Group, a cloud-based information technology services provider, announced plans to acquire Blockchain Consulting GmbH (BC) for an undisclosed amount.

The FinTech (Financial Technologies) market consists of sales of technology and platform based financial services and related goods. FinTech is the use of technology and innovation to provide financial services through internet-based platforms. Companies in this market provide end-to-end process financial services and solutions to automate financial processes over the Internet. It is used by end-user organizations on the back end to automate insurance, trading, banking services, and risk management. FinTech companies can cover many services, ranging from those offering more traditional banking services such as payment services and fund transfers, to those that are technologically focused offering services that enhance the processes in the major financial markets. FinTech companies started as exclusively technology companies to improve or assist activities in the financial sector. As the market has developed, these companies have evolved as an alternative to traditional financial services providers by offering a wide range of financial services including mobile point of service (POS) payments, crowd lending to businesses and market place lending to consumers.
