The alternative lending market in Brazil is projected to witness significant growth in the coming years. In 2024, the market is expected to grow by 28.3% on an annual basis, reaching a value of US$20.77 billion. With an anticipated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20% between 2024 and 2028, the market is set to expand from US$16.19 billion in 2023 to a remarkable US$43.13 billion by 2028.
Several factors are driving this expansion, including rising demand for accessible credit solutions and increased innovation in the financial technology (fintech) space. Key segments, such as peer-to-peer lending and buy now, pay later (BNPL) services, are gaining popularity as fintech firms develop solutions tailored to meet the needs of Brazil's unbanked and underbanked populations. As a result, alternative lending is becoming more accessible to both consumers and small businesses across the country.
One of the major catalysts for this growth is the continuous launch of new products and services within the alternative lending space. For instance, Revolut, a leading global fintech company, is working to obtain a license to launch its digital lending service in Brazil. The company aims to reach millions of underbanked consumers with its innovative financial solutions. Additionally, Brazilian fintech firm Pismo recently introduced a new lending tool designed to streamline the loan disbursement process, offering faster, more efficient digital loans compared to traditional banking services.
Strategic partnerships are also playing a crucial role in the growth of the sector. For example, Nubank has teamed up with Creditas to provide secured loans to customers, allowing them to use vehicles or properties as collateral for lower interest rates.
Moreover, the Brazilian government has been actively promoting the alternative lending sector through various policies and initiatives, such as the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) pilot and the implementation of Open Banking regulations. These measures are expected to further boost the market and enhance financial inclusion across the country.
