Singapore Fintech Market

Singapore Fintech Market Overview:

The Singapore fintech market is projected to exhibit a growth rate (CAGR) of 12.50% during 2024-2032. The robust government support, increasing consumer demand for digital financial services, strong investment inflows, advanced digital infrastructure, and a highly skilled workforce are some of the major factors propelling the growth of the market.

Singapore Fintech Market Trends:

Government Support and Regulation

Robust government initiatives and a favorable regulatory environment foster innovation and growth in the fintech sector. For instance, the Singapore FinTech sector continues to evolve and grow and is a strong driver of economic growth and financial sector evolution. In late 2022, Mr. Lawrence Wong, Singapore's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance and Deputy Chairman of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) launched a refreshed Financial Services Industry Transformation Map (ITM) 2025. This ITM renews emphasis on FinTech start-up areas. Singapore is an open and global FinTech centre and sustained growth is expected in the FinTech sector despite a slight dip in FinTech funding in 2022 as compared to 2021.

Advanced Digital Infrastructure

Singapore's state-of-the-art digital infrastructure supports the seamless integration and scalability of fintech solutions. For instance, in March 2024, an inter-agency Taskforce on the Resilience and Security of Digital Infrastructure and Services (“Taskforce”), led by the Ministry of Communications and Information, announced its plans to introduce a new Digital Infrastructure Act (“DIA”) to bolster the resilience and security of key digital infrastructure and services in Singapore. The DIA will complement various other regulatory measures, including the upcoming amendments to the Cybersecurity Act 2018. The DIA is being drafted at present and it is likely to have an impact on digital infrastructure and service providers (e.g. telecommunication service providers, cloud service providers and data center operators).

Strong Investment Inflows

Significant venture capital and investment inflows into the fintech industry enhance development and expansion opportunities. For instance, in May 2023, SeaTown Private Capital Master Fund was overseen by SeaTown Holdings International, an Asia-focused investment enterprise owned by Seviora, the asset management division of Singapore’s state-owned investment firm, Temasek. Linnovate offers asset servicing and fund administration solutions for the investment industry. It says its proprietary, cloud-based platform RAISE offers “all the functions of alternative investing in a single ecosystem”. The firm claims it administers over $130 billion in assets across more than 600 private equity and venture capital funds.
