Summary
Fintechs in the Asia-Pacific region continues to enjoy tailwinds despite the global rout in technology stocks and the funding winter for startups. Favorable macro trends in India and Southeast Asia; easing regulatory pressures in mainland China; rising real-time payments; and strong revenue growth at public fintechs across the region have set the stage for a brighter fintech outlook in 2023.
In the wake of greater investor diligence of business models, fintechs will prioritize capital-efficient growth and predictability in revenue. Leading consumer fintechs must be wary of cash burn rates but some will see the need to acquire regulatory licenses to supply credit sustainably. The wariness of capex will nudge the industry to move in the direction of specialization and collaboration, although diversification into financial services will accelerate. Infrastructure models are poised to grow in response to the growing demand from enterprises for embedding finance into day-to-day software.
Please tune in to hear the latest update from the TMT Research team within S&P Global Market Intelligent, where our panel of experts will review their proprietary outlook for fintechs. We hope you can join us for this informative and thought-provoking discussion.
