Dublin, Dec. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Unsecured Business Loans Market Report 2024” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The unsecured business loans market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $4.5 trillion in 2023 to $5 trillion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the increasing number of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the rise of fintech and alternative lenders, prevailing economic conditions, and growing competition among lenders.
The unsecured business loans market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.67 trillion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.3%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to rising awareness and acceptance of unsecured business loans, increasing digitization within the industry, improved access to capital for small businesses, adoption of supportive government regulations, and easier credit access from financial institutions.
Key trends in this period include digital transformation and fintech innovation, product advancements, sophisticated technologies in loan processing, blockchain technology, and innovations in online lending platforms.
The anticipated growth in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is expected to drive expansion in the unsecured business loans market. SMEs are defined by specific revenue, asset, or employee thresholds. The rise in SME numbers is fueled by economic growth, job creation, supportive government policies, and evolving social and community needs. Unsecured business loans enable SMEs to address various financial requirements without the need for collateral, facilitating growth, operational efficiency, and financial management. For example, according to the European Commission (EC), a Belgium-based executive body of the European Union, the number of SMEs in the European Union grew by 2.7% in 2022, with notable increases in several member states. Consequently, the growth in SMEs is contributing to the expansion of the unsecured business loans market.
Leading firms in the unsecured business loans market are concentrating on offering specialized loans, such as unsecured business loans for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), to help achieve business objectives and stimulate economic development. These loans do not require collateral, relying instead on the creditworthiness and financial stability of the business and its owners. For instance, in July 2023, Godrej Capital, an India-based financial services company, introduced unsecured business loans tailored specifically for MSMEs. These loans are designed to meet the distinct financial needs of various businesses, from startups to established enterprises, and feature innovative repayment structures that align with the cash flow cycles of companies, facilitating more manageable repayment schedules. This initiative addresses the specific challenges faced by businesses in accessing flexible financing options.
In June 2024, Ashv Finance, an India-based non-banking financial company (NBFC), entered into a partnership with HDFC Bank, the terms of which were not disclosed. This collaboration aims to enhance the lending capabilities of both Ashv Finance and HDFC Bank within the micro and small enterprises (MSE) sector. HDFC Bank, a leading provider of banking and financial services in India, offers a comprehensive range of products, including unsecured business loans.
