Market Dynamics

Growth of international trade is driving the market growth

As international trade grows, corporations transact with companies situated in other nations. Currency fluctuations, political and economic volatility, and foreign legal and regulatory systems all contribute to increased complexity. Factoring companies offer a range of trade finance options designed to meet the unique needs of global trade. These possibilities include import factoring, which gives importers the money to pay for goods ahead of time, enabling them to bargain for better terms with foreign suppliers, and export factoring, which assists exporters in receiving prompt payment for their goods upon shipment.

Increasing demand for alternative financing solutions among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)

Globally, increasing demand for alternative financing solutions among SMEs is a critical driver for the market. SMEs find it challenging to be eligible for standard bank loans because they don't have a long history of success. By acquiring accounts receivable at a discounted rate, factoring services assist SMEs in producing quick cash flow. To assist SMEs in receiving early payments for their bills, providers of factoring services are introducing cutting-edge factoring platforms. For instance, in July 2023, RXIL Global IFSC Limited unveiled a game-changing International Trade Finance Services (ITFS) platform in collaboration with FaMe TN, a government initiative by the Government of Tamil Nadu for MSMEs. This revolutionary launch marks the start of a remarkable journey that will transform the way exporters, importers, and bankers engage in their trade transactions. It will also facilitate Indian MSMEs to get early payments against export invoices through the ITFS.

Recourse Factoring Segment is Projected to Emerge as the Largest Segment

Based on the type, the global factoring services market is sub-segmented into recourse and non-recourse. Among these, the recourse sub-segment is expected to hold the largest share of the market. The primary factor supporting the segment's growth includes various benefits offered by it such as lower fees, flexibility on advanced rates, and flexibility on credit requirements, among others, driving segment growth. Recourse factoring services are popular among businesses with creditworthy invoice clients seeking the lowest discounts and maximum payment for their invoices due to lower factor fees.

Banks Sub-segment to Hold a Considerable Market Share

Banks are well-known financial institutions that have a solid reputation as a brand and a long history. These increase the trust of businesses looking for safe and reputable factoring services. Due to banks' extensive branch networks and established customer base, firms can easily reach out to new customers and offer integrated solutions, such as factoring services and other financial products. Banks are implementing several strategies to offer a comprehensive suite of factoring services. For instance, in August 2023, Exim Bank, an export financier launched India Exim Finserve (IFSC) Private Limited, its subsidiary to offer a wide range of trade finance products to Indian exporters with a major focus on export factoring. The company will provide a range of services for Indian exporters, focusing on export factoring with a combination of receivables financing, accounts receivable servicing, and coverage of non-payment risk.
