Core Banking Solutions Market

The global core banking solutions market size was valued at $9,856.45 million in 2019, and is projected to reach $28,785.85 million by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 14.6% from 2020 to 2027.

With an unprecedented COVID-19 health crisis, surge in digitization initiatives among banks, financial institutions, and others has increased tremendously. In addition, the COVID-19 has enforced several end use verticals to re-look at the existing core banking technology architecture and sustain in the market during the pandemic situation.

Core banking can be termed as a back-end system, which involves processing of banking transactions across various branches of a bank on a single platform. Core banking solutions (CBS) is a bank’s centralized system, responsible for ensuring seamless workflow by automating frontend & backend processes within a bank. Moreover, CBS provides customers with an access to banking facilities from any bank branches across a country and facilitates information across delivery channels. Furthermore, CBS helps banks in processing deposits & withdrawals, enhancing customer relationship management activities and transactions management.

Core banking solutions help banks in reducing operational & support expenses, provide real-time transaction processing, and manage bank accounts using interconnected branches globally. Therefore, this has become the foremost growth factor for the market. In addition, increase in adoption of core banking technologies to modernize banking functionality and increase in focus toward providing better customer services are major factors that propel the core banking solutions market growth. However, lack of awareness toward core banking solutions, huge maintenance costs, and shortage of skilled workforce are some of the factors that limit the market growth. 

Furthermore, developing economies offer significant opportunities for core banking solution providers to expand & develop their offerings, especially among emerging economies such as Australia, China, India, Singapore, and South Korea. In addition, rise in mergers & acquisitions (M&A) among banks, which are seeking to accelerate their existing product development processes by implementing core banking solutions, is expected to provide lucrative opportunities to core banking solutions market players during the forecast period.

On the basis of deployment model, the cloud segment was the fastest growing segment in 2019, and is projected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. Moreover, surge in use of cloud computing technology through software-as-a-service (SaaS) to help banks in securing storage & transaction processing further boosts demand for this segment.

Top impacting factors

Surge in adoption of core banking technology

The banking industry has become a fastest adopter of technologies such as cloud computing, application programming interfaces (APIs), data analytics, artificial intelligence, robotic process automation (RPA), chatbots, machine learning, and blockchain, among others. In addition, with an implementation of core banking solutions, banks are able to perform effective customer analysis while simultaneously enabling customers to carry out their usual banking transactions effectively. Therefore, to modernize banking functionality, several banks are implementing core banking solutions to provide more integrated & value-added services. Hence, adoption & implementation of core banking solutions among banks drive the core banking solutions market growth.

Huge maintenance cost & shortage of skilled workforce 

Increase in non-availability of low skilled labor, which are needed to perform highly advance tasks in the banking sector has become one of the major factors limiting the market growth. In addition, to maintain unprecedented levels of speed, accuracy, and cost efficiency banking operations with an implementation of core banking solutions is lacking in the banking industry. Moreover, high initial investments & maintenance cost of the software are expected to hamper the core banking solutions market growth.

Growth in mergers & acquisitions among banks & financial institutions across regions
