A term loan is a lump sum amount borrowed from a financial institution, with a predetermined repayment schedule over a fixed period. This financial tool is a popular choice for individuals looking to fund various needs such as education, home renovation, medical expenses, or even a small business.
Term loans are mostly preferred by borrowers as the repayment of such loans is done in installments which helps the borrower to arrange the funds for making payments to the lenders.

Key Market Dynamics
The use of advanced technologies in the loan process, such as the adoption of AI and software to streamline loan operations, is driving the term loan market growth by offering improved solutions to customers and facilitating online loan management, analysis, and fund disbursal. Furthermore, rise in the requirement for money to support their daily needs and increase in migration to smart urban cities are also contributing to the growth of the term loan market. However, credit history scrutiny, where lenders closely examine the borrower's credit history, is a challenge for some borrowers, and economic uncertainty is another restraint, as it can impact borrowers' ability to repay loans and lenders' willingness to extend credit, therby hinder the term loan market.
On the contrary, rise in demand for short-term loans, which are easier to obtain as they do not require collateral, leads to growth in the term loan market forecast period. The emergence of fintech companies and online loan providers, which have made obtaining personal loans more accessible, is expected to drive the term loan market in the upcoming years.
