The regtech market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $30.04 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing number of fraudulent activities, strategic partnerships and collaborations, and the rising trend of digitization. Key trends expected during the forecast period include the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, a focus on machine learning and natural language processing-based products, an emphasis on cloud-based solutions, attention to regulatory intelligence platforms, and a focus on blockchain-based platforms.

The anticipated increase in fraudulent activities, particularly in the financial sector such as money laundering, is poised to drive the growth of the RegTech market in the forecast period. The surge in fraudulent activities necessitates robust RegTech frameworks for financial organizations, empowering risk and compliance teams to effectively manage the escalating challenges of regulatory compliance and increasingly sophisticated breaches. A report by LexisNexis Risk Solutions in 2022 revealed a rise in the costs of fraud for U.S. and Canadian financial services companies. U.S. financial services companies experienced a 16.2% increase, paying $4.23 for every $1 lost to fraud, compared to $3.64. Similarly, Canadian financial services companies saw a 19.6% increase, from $3.16 in 2020 to $3.78 in 2022. Consequently, the growing instances of fraudulent activities underscore the heightened demand for the RegTech market.

The escalating trend of digitization is a driving force behind the growth of the RegTech market. Businesses increasingly recognize the essential role of digitization in achieving success, leveraging digital technologies to transform business models and create new value-producing opportunities. Global spending on the digital transformation of business practices, products, and organizations reached USD 1.8 trillion in 2022, marking a significant 17.6% increase over 2021. Thus, the pervasive trend of digitization is a catalyst for the growth of the RegTech market.

The adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and blockchain technologies has emerged as a pivotal trend in the RegTech market.
