Key Market Trends
Technology Adoption - DLT significance in Trade Finance
Technology adoption is key for any market success and the trade finance market is no exception to this. The global trade finance gap currently stands at $1.5 trillion, or 10% of merchandise trade volume, and is set to grow to $2.4 trillion by 2025, the Asian Development Bank calculates.
But this gap could be reduced by $1 trillion if DLT is used more broadly. The process of checking documentation against the defined trade rules can now happen in a matter of minutes using services that combine Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Machine Learning (ML), and Artificial Intelligence (AI). This saves a lot of time.
Major banks and trade tech companies have formed consortiums to develop and adopt DLT into the trade finance structure.
Market Restraint: Non-Uniform Access of Trade Finance Across Regions
A lack of trade finance to developing countries is a clear non-tariff barrier. SMEs play a crucial role in trade financing with 20% of US exports and 40% of EU exports, yet the face greatest challenges in accessing affordable trade financing. Globally over half of trade finance requests by SMEs are rejected while only 7% get rejected for MNCs.
