Analyst Opinion

One of the key trends shaping the global retail banking market is the shift toward digital channels. With the proliferation of smartphones and other digital devices, consumers are increasingly turning to online and mobile banking platforms for their financial needs. This trend is expected to continue in the coming years, as banks invest in digital technologies to improve customer experience and reduce costs.

Another trend is the growing focus on customer experience. With the rise of digital channels, consumers have come to expect personalized and convenient banking services. As a result, banks are investing in new technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve the customer experience. For example, chatbots and virtual assistants can provide customers with instant support and assistance, while personalized recommendations and offers can help banks build stronger relationships with their customers.

The global retail banking market is also characterized by intense competition, with established banks facing increasing competition from fintech startups and other new entrants. These players are leveraging digital technologies to offer innovative and disruptive products and services, such as digital-only banks and mobile payment platforms. As a result, traditional banks are investing in digital transformation initiatives to stay competitive and retain their market share.

Also, the market is affected by regulatory and compliance issues. Banks are subject to a range of regulations, including anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) regulations, which can be complex and costly to comply with. In addition, banks must also comply with data protection and privacy regulations, such as the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

Additionally, the peak of inflation in 2022 affected the market. For more details about the impacts of inflation on the financial industry read more here.
