The global merchant banking services market size is anticipated to reach USD 143.94 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 17.4% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The areas covered under merchant bank services include equity underwriting, portfolio management, and credit application processing received from financial institutions. The increasing demand for personal & business banking services, such as portfolio management and payment processing services, is anticipated to fuel the market’s growth over the forecast period.
The merchant banking industry has been gaining traction for specialized functions such as private placements. Private placements refer to the ability to raise capital for a company by selling its shares to a small number of private investors. Private placements differ from initial public offerings, wherein in the latter, anyone interested can purchase the shares of a company from the open market.
Merchant bank services also involve structured trade finance and debt funding. Structured trade finance is a well-adopted alternative to conventional lending, especially in emerging nations, to enable import-export transactions. Debt funding enables public and private companies to raise funds by issuing corporate debentures.
The COVID-19 pandemic had an immediate impact on merchant bank and their services. Small and large-scale investors resorted to flight to the safety of capital temporarily in the uncertain environment induced by the coronavirus. Merchant bank services heavily depend on a risk-on economic climate and can be vulnerable to economic uncertainties and downturns with high redemptions.
