Global AML/KYC Spending Projected To Total $1.2 Billion In 2020, Rising 12.5% As Regulators Renew Focus On Enforcement Actions - New Burton-Taylor Report

LONDON AND NEW YORK, Nov. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Global spend on Anti-Money Laundering (AML)/ Know-Your-Customer (KYC) and related financial crime and compliance activities is projected to total a record $1.2 billion in 2020 according to two new research reports published today by Burton-Taylor International Consulting (part of TP ICAP's Data & Analytics division). 

Key findings include:

• The Americas region accounts for the largest share of global revenues (49.5%), totaling an estimated $589.5 million in 2020, with revenues in EMEA and Asia accounting for $444.4 million and $156.7 million, respectively.
• Refinitiv is the largest global provider of AML/KYC data and services in 2020 with total estimated revenues of $299.6 million. Dow Jones is the second largest provider of AML/KYC services, followed by Bureau van Dijk which moved into third place as a result of its acquisition of RDC.
• Dow Jones reported the fastest revenue growth in 2020, with total AML/KYC-related revenues of $172.4 million, up 15.3% from 2019. Accuity saw the second fastest growth in AML/KYC-related revenues in 2020, followed by Refinitiv.

"The AML/KYC industry continues to see explosive growth, as regulators increase enforcement efforts intended to ensure regulatory compliance obligations of global financial institutions," said Adler Smith, analyst at Burton-Taylor. "We expect regulators to assess record fines and penalties in 2020, reinforcing demand for customized AML/KYC tools that can help identify illegal activities before they become a potential compliance issue," he added.
