SHADOW BANKING MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global shadow banking market size was valued at USD 61.08 billion in 2024 and is projected to touch USD 92.35 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period from 2025 To 2033.

Shadow banking refers to the activity of financial entities (such as banks) that are not subject to the same rules as typical commercial banks. These institutions frequently lend and borrow money, issue debt, and securitize assets. The shadow banking system refers to the collection of non-bank financial intermediaries (NBFIs) that provide services comparable to typical commercial banks but outside of standard banking laws. The significance of shadow banking stems from its potential to serve as a source of credit for businesses and consumers when traditional banks are unwilling or unable to do so. Shadow banking has increased in prominence to rival traditional depository banking, and it had a role in the subprime mortgage crisis of 2007-2008 and the worldwide recession that followed.

COVID-19 IMPACT

The Pandemic Downgraded the Crowdfunding Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

Due to lockdowns and disruptions in industrial and supply chain activity, COVID-19 initially had a substantial impact on the shadow banking market share. Following the commencement of the pandemic, businesses are more likely to expand lending availability to new and financially challenged borrowers. However, this enhanced credit provision may not be sustainable; following the epidemic, the delinquent rate of fintech loans triples, whereas there is no substantial change in the delinquency rate of bank loans. Borrowers with both types of loans prioritise the repayment of bank loans. These findings give light on the benefits of shadow banking in times of crisis, as well as the potential fragility of such organisations when delinquency rates rise.

LATEST TRENDS

DRIVING FACTORS

This segment's rise can be linked to an increase in demand for short-term funding solutions from SMEs, who are deemed to be more creditworthy than other types of consumers.

Furthermore, the expanding usage of derivatives such as interest rate swaps and options, as well as the increased priority placed on controlling risks connected with corporate operations, have driven this application area dramatically across regions in recent years.

Growing Adoption of Securitization and Money Market Funds to Witness Significant Market Growth

Security Vehicles (SV) are a new asset class that arose as a result of the global financial crisis. They have a high cash value but a low liquid value, making them an attractive vehicle for investors looking for a high payout with little risk.

As a result, the increased use of securitization vehicles, money market funds, repurchase agreement markets, investment banks, mortgage firms, and other parts of the shadow bank system is also contributing to its expansion.

If there is a crisis in the shadow banking system, it can quickly extend to the main banking system. Short-term money are raised by shadow banks and used to invest in long-term assets.
