India Fintech Market Size, Trends & Analysis - Forecasts to 2029 By Service Proposition (Money Transfer and Payments, Savings and Investments, Digital Lending and Lending Marketplaces, Online Insurance and Insurance Marketplaces, and Other Service Propositions) and By Application (E-commerce, Utilities, Travel, and Other Applications), Competitive Landscape, Company Market Share Analysis, and End User Analysis
The India fintech market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 20.2% from 2024 to 2029.
Consumer outlooks are shifting in favor of digital and practical financial solutions. Tech-savvy consumers are increasingly drawn to fintech companies that provide personalized financial services, online lending platforms, and user-friendly apps.
The government's initiatives to encourage a cashless economy and the broad adoption of digital technologies are the main drivers of India's fintech sector's growth. For instance, campaigns like the 2016 demonetization effort have accelerated the shift to internet and mobile financial services. The intentional drive towards digitalization has not only expedited the change in the customs in which financial transactions are carried out but also played a role in the broader digital revolution in the Indian financial domain.
Programs like Digital India, Pradhan Mantri Grameen Digital Saksharta Abhiyan (PMGDSA), and Unified Payments Interface (UPI) have been instrumental in shaping India as a digitally empowered society and a prominent participant in the digital economy. These initiatives have played a crucial role in transforming the country into a digitally proficient community and a key player in digital commerce.
The majority of people in India can now access more affordable cell phones and have better internet connectivity, which has expanded the market for fintech services. Due to increased accessibility to digital financial services, traditionally marginalized groups have become more empowered in rural and semi-urban areas, where this development has notably encouraged financial inclusion. One of the main forces behind the development of a more accessible and inclusive financial environment nationwide has been the pervasive availability of these electronic resources.
However, fintech organizations face increased cybersecurity concerns due to their growing reliance on digital platforms. Fintech companies must invest heavily in robust cybersecurity solutions to protect sensitive financial data.
The money transfer and payments segment is expected to hold the largest share of the market. The demand for seamless, safe, and convenient financial transactions is increasing, and fintech companies are meeting this demand by offering sophisticated and user-friendly money transfer and payment services. Due to the growing trend of digital adoption, these services successfully cater to the changing needs of businesses and consumers, contributing to the expected dominance of the segment.
The savings and investments segment is expected to be the fastest-growing segment in the market from 2024-2029. Increased consumer knowledge and a growing interest in financial planning are the reasons for the segment's growth. The requirement for easily accessible and varied investment options is driving the increase in fintech innovations, especially those that provide user-friendly platforms for investing.
The travel segment is anticipated to be the fastest-growing segment in the market from 2024-2029. The segment's growth is attributed to the travel industry's growing adoption of fintech solutions, which make secure and easy payment processing, booking, and cost management possible. Fintech advancements within the travel category are anticipated to contribute to market growth as customers seek more convenient and efficient financial solutions when planning and experiencing travel.
The e-commerce segment is expected to hold the largest share of the market. This is due to the increasing adoption of fintech solutions in online shopping. Fintech is becoming increasingly popular in the e-commerce industry because it guarantees safe and effective online transactions, offers various payment choices, and improves customer experiences.
Paytm, MobiKwik, Policy Bazaar, PayU, Kissht, Shubh Loans, Lending Kart, Phonepe, Faircent, and ET money, among others, are some of the key players operating in the India fintech market.
Please note: This is not an exhaustive list of companies profiled in the report.
In February 2024, Policybazaar's subsidiary, Policybazaar Insurance Brokers received in-principle approval from the insurance regulator to upgrade its license, enabling entry into the reinsurance business. This approval is seen as a strategic move to enhance insurance penetration in India, infusing technology, process control, and data analytics into reinsurance.
In February 2023, LendingKart, a company specializing in providing working capital loans, announced the acquisition of Upwards, a digital lending platform. LendingKart aims to provide finance to the underserved using advanced technology, and they believe that acquiring Upwards will align with this mission.
