Regtech Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Deployment (Cloud and On-premises), By Enterprise Type (Large Enterprises and Small & Medium Enterprises), By Application (Risk Management, Regulatory Compliance, and Governance), By End-user (BFSI, Manufacturing, IT & Telecom, Healthcare, Government, and Others), and Regional Forecast, 2024 – 2032

The global regtech market was valued at USD 12.82 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow from USD 15.80 billion in 2024 and reach USD 85.92 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 23.6% during the forecast period (2024-2032).

Several factors, including the rapid increase in the adoption of advanced technologies and the need for businesses to address increasingly complex regulatory requirements is driving the market expansion. As regulations become more complex and change frequently, traditional manual compliance management techniques are no longer viable. As a result, companies are turning to cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data analytics, machine learning, and blockchain to optimize compliance operations. These technologies enable the automation of daily tasks, real-time monitoring of transactions and data, predictive analysis of potential threats, and secure identity verification.

Additionally, the focus on financial regulation is driving the market growth. However, different and conflicting rules in other jurisdictions are hindering the market by increasing complexity and inconsistency, making it difficult for companies to develop unified solutions that meet disparate regulatory standards in multiple regions.

In addition, a rise in anti-money laundering and fraud is anticipated to boost market growth. The growing product application and an increase in the number of favourable regulations across various countries are driving the market growth. For instance,

• In April 2022, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority introduced the Regtech Knowledge Hub to encourage enterprises to adopt solutions to support business growth.

The COVID-19 pandemic pushed the adoption of regulatory technology solutions across various industries owing to the rise in work-from-home policy. As the employees were highly relying on chat and collaboration tools, the need for governance increased. Moreover, the confidential data handling industries, such as BFSI, healthcare, and retail, highly relied on remote working, increasing the risk of data theft. Cyber threats and privacy risks were the major concerns for the enterprises. This surged the demand for the solution during the COVID-19 crisis.
