Global FinTech Investments Drop for Third Straight Year
In 2024, the total funding amount in the FinTech sector reached $43.5 billion, reflecting a 20% decrease compared to the previous year. The number of deals also fell by 16%.
Global investments in the FinTech industry have been on a declining trend for three consecutive years, according to Innovate Finance. The sector experienced its peak funding levels in 2021, with total investments hitting $136.5 billion. This figure decreased to $92 billion in 2022, $54.2 billion in 2023, and $43.5 billion in 2024.
In 2024, the number of funding deals in FinTech also saw a decline, totaling 6,464 compared to 7,683 in 2023. Analysts attribute this downturn to rising interest rates, geopolitical uncertainties, and a shift in venture capital focus, which have tightened financing conditions in significant markets.
The United States leads in FinTech funding, with companies securing a total of $22 billion. The next three positions are occupied by:
- United Kingdom ($3.6 billion).
- India ($2.2 billion).
- Singapore ($1.4 billion).
Among European countries, aside from the U.K., the leaders in FinTech funding include:
- France ($1.1 billion);
- Germany ($900 million);
- Switzerland ($500 million);
- Netherlands ($400 million).
According to Innovate Finance, funding trends in the FinTech sector generally align with broader VC markets, which have been experiencing a cyclical downturn in recent years. However, 2024 saw a recovery in overall business investments compared to 2023, and FinTech sector investments in the second half of 2024 showed a slight increase compared to the first half of 2024. This suggests that the global FinTech sector may be gearing up for its next phase of growth.
