The global alternative finance market will more than double in size during the forecast period

The growth of alternative finance providers is driven by the effects of the 2008 recession as organized financial institutions have turned reluctant to offer loans to individuals and SMEs. The largest market share of more than 88% is held by APAC, and China is one of the biggest market for alternative finance companies. The lack of conventional financing sources in many economies in APAC will drive the growth of alternative finance providers for the next five years.
