Finance cloud market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 22.0% during the forecast period. The increase in cloud application deployment to address the rising demand for customer management, growing client needs, and increased digitalization in the financial sector are driving the growth of the global finance cloud market. For instance, the Indian government is aiming to digitize payment systems and broaden financial inclusion, through fintech projects including Aadhaar, Jan Dhan Yojana, and the Unified Payments Interface (UPI).

The growing partnership among key players is further contributing to the market growth. For instance, in September 2023, Options Technology, the provider of cloud-enabled managed services to the global financial sector, announced a strategic partnership with valantic FSA, a premier provider of innovative financial software solutions. The partnership will leverage Options Technology’s robust Global Infrastructure, Colocation, and Market Data services alongside the firm’s Public and Integrated Cloud solutions to enhance valantic FSA's service offering and capabilities. Options Technology's comprehensive suite of services, combined with valantic FSA's expertise in financial software solutions, will enable both organisations to deliver greater value to clients with enhanced connectivity, scalability, and reduced latency alongside access to mission-critical systems with unparalleled performance. Problems regarding data security and protection and expensive investment and maintenance expenses limit the expansion of the finance cloud industry. Data loss routinely puts cloud storage's security in jeopardy. Information can be affected entirely by a computer virus, hacking, or a broken system instead of being stolen and shared.

Among these, North America held considerable share in the global market. Improved agility and security, lower capital expenditure (CapEx), and reduced IT administration complexity are some of the key contributors to the high share of the regional market.

For instance, in September 2023, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has expanded its partnership with the Standard Bank Group (SBG), to centralize and standardize its custody and securities settlement operations in over 15 markets with the TCS BaNCS Global Securities Processing Platform. SBG operates the custody network with USD 635 bio in assets under custody and administration in sub-Saharan Africa, standing at the forefront of capital market development in the continent.
