Market Overview

A large company works with a financial institution to help its suppliers acquire financing at a lower interest rate than they would otherwise be able to secure. This financial arrangement is known as reverse factoring or supply chain finance. Under this arrangement, the financial institution pays the suppliers on behalf of the big business, frequently ahead of schedule. The suppliers give a discount on the total amount billed in exchange. This is advantageous to the suppliers as well as the large organization. The suppliers' cash flow and liquidity positions improve as a result of the suppliers' access to reasonable financing, which in turn assures a stable supply chain. For small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs), reverse factoring is especially helpful as it can be difficult for them to get reasonable finance through conventional channels. Because reverse factoring might help businesses manage their working capital more effectively, the market for it has grown significantly in recent years. Businesses are using reverse factoring as a strategic tool as they realize more and more how important effective supply chain management is. Stable finance solutions are becoming more and more in demand as a result of globalization and the complexity of contemporary supply chains. Reverse factoring is becoming a more appealing alternative for big businesses and their suppliers since financial institutions are getting better at designing creative, customized solutions.

Market Segmentation

The global reverse factoring market share is classified into category, financial institution, and end-use.

• The domestic segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global reverse factoring market during the forecast period.   

Based on the category, the global reverse factoring market is divided into domestic, and international. Among these, the domestic segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global reverse factoring market during the forecast period. The effectiveness of SCF services has led to a growing number of domestic MSMEs adopting them, which is responsible for the category growth. The majority of suppliers worldwide are MSMEs or micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises. Consistent manufacturing cycles are challenging for suppliers to maintain when buyers withhold payments. The lack of alternative financing options for the suppliers exacerbates the problem even more and has an impact on their overall business operations. Reverse factoring is being used by MSMEs as a solution to these problems to maximize inventory stock and avoid business loss from a lack of funding.

• The bank segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global reverse factoring market during the forecast period.   

Based on the financial institution, the global reverse factoring market is divided into bank and non-banking financial institutions. Among these, the bank segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global reverse factoring market during the forecast period. The increase in growth can be ascribed to the growing acceptance of digitization as a means of closing existing gaps in a range of financial services and to banks' increasing emphasis on providing improved customer experiences. Throughout the forecast period, rising cross-border transactions and a sizable uptake of mobile-based payment systems are anticipated to fuel the bank segment's expansion. Reverse factoring services are also becoming more widely available in banks as a result of the increasing usage of Blockchain technology by banks to overcome challenges with raising working capital and cash flows.

• The manufacturing segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global reverse factoring market during the forecast period.   

Based on the end-use, the global reverse factoring market is divided into manufacturing, healthcare, transport and logistics, information technology, construction, and others.

Reverse factoring also gives industrial organizations the chance to maintain numerous bank relationships and a liquidity provision option.
