What Are Key Factors Driving The Demand In The Global Online Alternative Finance Market?
The rise in the use of smartphones is anticipated to drive the expansion of the online alternative finance market. A smartphone, a versatile electronic device providing mobile calling, internet access, and computing capabilities, allows users to communicate, surf the internet, and operate a range of applications. Due to device affordability, smartphone penetration is escalating, bringing high-end mobile technology to a broader portion of the public. Broad access to smartphones benefits online alternative finance, as users can readily tap into financial services with mobile applications for tasks such as applying for loans, making investments, and conducting transactions from anywhere. For example, Uswitch Limited, a UK-based company offering online and telephone comparison services, reported that 71.8 million mobile connections were activated in 2022, a growth of 3.8% since 2021. Also, by 2025, there will be 68.3 million people in the UK, and 95% of these individuals will possess smartphones. Thus, the growing use of smartphones is spurring the development of the online alternative finance market.
