DUBLIN, Jan. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The "United Arab Emirates Alternative Lending Market Business and Investment Opportunities Databook - 75+ KPIs on Alternative Lending Market Size, By End User, By Finance Model, By Payment Instrument, By Loan Type and Demographics - Q2 2023 Update" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The alternative lending market in the United Arab Emirates is poised for a substantial upswing, according to a new business and investment opportunities databook now available. The comprehensive report provides an unprecedented look into the UAE's burgeoning alternative financing ecosystem, projecting a 39.9% year-on-year growth to reach US$337.0 million in 2023.

With a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.7% expected between 2023-2027, the UAE's alternative lending market showcases considerable strength and stability. The databook anticipates the market's expansion from US$240.9 million in 2022 to an impressive US$764.3 million by 2027. Factors such as low credit penetration and favorable regulatory frameworks are identified as critical drivers behind this growth trajectory.

The report indicates notable increases in capital inflow, with major tech conglomerates taking strategic positions in SME-focused lending platforms. This shift is prompted by the recognition of a substantial SME credit gap in the GCC region, with acquisitions aiming to leverage a share of this lucrative financing niche.

Venture capital and private equity firms are actively contributing to the sector's growth by engaging in numerous funding rounds. These include significant contributions to companies like Halo, a digital mortgage service provider, and Tabby, a Dubai-based leader in the Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) space.
