RegTech Market Growth Drivers

Increased Focus on Automate Regulatory Compliance Processes

Automated compliance solutions are particularly beneficial for organizations that deal with sensitive data. They offer several benefits that positively impact security, cost savings, and reporting. By adopting automated compliance solutions, companies can reduce compliance risks, increase process efficiency, and access real-time data to make informed decisions. The growing adoption of RegTech dashboards that manage regulatory compliance as per different business frameworks has increased significantly as these solutions automate labor-intensive and time-consuming compliance processes, saving time and resources.

With the growing focus on automating the regulatory compliance process, several companies are making developments. For instance, in 2021, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (U.S.) acquired the cloud-based execution compliance & surveillance service (ECS) assets of Jordan & Jordan (U.S.) to enhance its regulatory compliance capabilities for broker-dealers. Such developments are driving the growth of the RegTech market.

Rising Need for Faster Transactions

In recent years, financial institutions and banks have increasingly faced issues associated with traditional cross-border payment systems, such as extra processing fees, the risk of cyberattacks in payment pathways, security breaches, and increasing failure points. Also, sending a global payment through established banking channels is a complex and multistep process due to the involvement of several intermediaries. Blockchain-based payment systems are faster, more secure, and cheaper. They streamline transactions and store every transaction in a secure distributed ledger.

Several companies are focused on launching blockchain-based compliance solutions to facilitate faster transactions. For instance, in June 2022, Cogent Bank (U.S.) launched a fully integrated digital banking platform powered by Tassat Group Inc. (U.S.). This platform facilitates secured real-time payments in compliance with banking regulations. Furthermore, in March 2022, Sopra Steria (France) partnered with Chainalysis Inc. (U.S.) to offer leading blockchain compliance solutions to customers across Europe. The emergence of such RegTech solutions and the rising need for faster transactions are driving the growth of the RegTech market.
