Commercial Paper Market

Commercial paper is an unsecured promissory note that has a fixed maturity of no more than 270 days in the global financial market. Commercial paper is a money-market security issued by large corporations to obtain funds to meet short-term debt obligations and is backed solely by the issuing bank's or company's promise to pay the face amount on the maturity date specified. As it is not collateralized, only companies with excellent credit ratings from a reputable credit rating agency will be able to sell commercial paper at a reasonable price. 

Commercial paper is typically sold at a discount to face value and has lower interest repayment rates than bonds due to commercial paper's shorter maturities. Therefore, redemption on the fixed maturity date, easy accessibility of the fund, and the cost saved by the business is expected to boost the market growth for the commercial paper market in the near future.

The global commercial paper market is segmented on the basis of type, end user, and region. Based on type, the market is divided into promissory notes, drafts, checks, and certificates. On the basis of end user, the market is categorized into retail, institutional, high-net-worth individual (HNWI), and corporates. Geographically, the market is analyzed across several regions such as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America, Middle East & Africa (LAMEA).

Top Impacting Factors

Trade of commercial paper through digitalization and increased investment in commercial paper is driving the growth of the market. However, risk allocation in the security market is expected to hamper the growth of the market. Contrarily, the rise in investments through fintech technology and the rise in the adoption of digital platforms can be seen as an opportunity for the market.

Trade of Commercial Paper Through Digitization

The size of the commercial paper market is expected to grow as a result of digitization. A large volume of physical paper documentation is required for trade finance procedures. As a result, document-related expenses make up the majority of commercial paper expenses. To be successful, banks' commercial paper offerings must be adaptable, flexible, low-cost, and add value to their cost availability of funds for a shorter period. Increased use of digital, automated fund transfer platforms and demand for commercial paper are propelling the growth of the market.

Moreover, it enables small and large fund savers globally to participate in investment plans and derive the benefits of capital market growth. 

Furthermore, the commercial paper market has witnessed massive expansion and standardization in terms of products and services offered, the increased proliferation of a large number of private sector funds, and regulatory mechanisms, which consequently fueled the market growth.
