Trade Finance Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report 2025-2030 | Rising Demand Fueled by Market Manipulation Concerns and Investor Protection Needs

Dublin, Aug. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Trade Finance Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Instrument, By Service Provider (Banks, Financial Institutions), By Trade, By Enterprise Size, By Industry, By End Use, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2025 - 2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The trade finance market size is estimated to reach USD 68.63 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 4.7% from 2025 to 2030

The surge in demand for trade finance is driven by concerns related to market manipulation, including erosion of investor confidence, threats to market integrity, fraudulent behavioral patterns, and insider trading. This has compelled financial institutions to invest in trade finance strategies characterized by reduced proliferation, the capability to aggregate and monitor diverse structured and unstructured datasets, and the provision of financial security encompassing payment and supply risks for both importers and exporters.



In the early stages of international trade, exporters often faced uncertainty regarding whether and when importers would settle payments for their goods. Consequently, exporters sought ways to mitigate the risk of non-payment by importers. Conversely, importers were hesitant to make upfront payments for goods due to uncertainties surrounding the shipment of goods by the seller. The evolution of trade finance has addressed these challenges by expediting payments to exporters and providing importers with assurances that ordered goods have been shipped with the assistance of letters of credit.

In October 2022, IFC and HSBC Bank joined forces to facilitate trade finance for Emerging Market Issuing Banks. This collaboration aims to facilitate the movement of essential goods to areas in Central Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa that are still grappling with financial obstacles due to the impact of COVID-19 and ongoing geopolitical disruptions. This marks the inaugural long-term trade collaboration between IFC and HSBC, and it aligns with IFC's strategy to utilize HSBC's extensive global network to stimulate trade activities in vital markets worldwide.

The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the significance of supply chain visibility and risk management, driving the incorporation of digital tools such as blockchain and data analytics into trade finance. These technologies offer real-time insights and the means to mitigate disruptions effectively. Consequently, the pandemic accelerated the modernization of trade finance practices, enhancing the industry's agility and responsiveness to evolving global trade dynamics.
