Increasing Adoption of Artificial Intelligence-based Banking Systems Promotes Market Growth

The infusion of newer technologies, such as cloud computing, big data analytics, and artificial intelligence, is altering the way banks operate, making them more efficient and customer friendly. AI-driven innovations assist banks in visualizing data, respond to customer queries almost in a jiffy, and convert highly complex data into meaningful insights. According to a study published through Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, banking professionals are dependent on AI-driven output for some robust business analysis and strategic decision-making. AI-driven chatbots and digital assistants have become an intrinsic part of the core banking system in ensuring constant and seamless customer support. These systems troubleshoot in real-time, addressing issues besides elevating the overall customer experience. Real-time insights provided by AI-based core banking software enhance network security and speed up digital transformation, hence improving service delivery, increasing consumer satisfaction. With the surging adoption of such technologies, more key growth opportunities are expected to open. The future of banking is closely linked to harnessing artificial intelligence. As such, critical industry players have been entering into strategic collaborations for innovative AI solutions. In October 2023, Sopra Banking Software launched the First AI-Enabled Core Banking System as a Software-as-a-Service. 

Rise in Fintech Drives Growth of Market

Initially, core banking software were merely treated as a supplement to the banking sector. With time, the market has transformed with innovative traditional practices, leading to market growth. Fintech has been able to attract large investments. Large financial markets players, such as Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase & Co., have started strengthening their fintech investments, something that could turn out to be strategic with regard to the adoption of advanced solutions into their operations. The outlook of investors remains quite conservative in the beginning of 2024. In fact, characterized by key concerns such as sustainable profitability, the development prospects for the fintech sector remains robust. It can be more clearly seen in sectors such as community banks that need innovative core banking software to improve operational efficiency. The adoption of these technologies across various banking types, including mid-size banks, small banks, and credit unions, further propels market expansion, fostering a dynamic landscape driven by innovation and digital transformation. In December 2023, Saudi Arabian Buy Now Pay Later Provider deal was closed at USD 340 million funding round. The deal, which made the company the first homegrown FinTech unicorn in Saudi Arabia, was raised through a Series C round.

North America Dominated the Market Due to Innovations

On-premises Deployment Dominated the Global Core Banking Software Market Share

The on-premises segment dominated the market in 2023. By building an on-premise solution, companies take full responsibility for the integration, IT-related problems, and security involved. Companies that work over legacy platforms are mostly in collaboration with IT professionals to recover data from security threats and control operation costs incurred. Most of the traditional banks use on-premises solutions due to the established infrastructure and keeping control of the security of the data. These are located in the bank's own servers at their premises, which are better protected compared to cloud computing infrastructure. On-premises data centers require hands-on hardware and software maintenance. Software on-premises requires an enterprise to buy a license or copy of the software for use in-house. The software resides wholly within the premises of the organization, generally better protected compared with cloud computing infrastructure. However, the on-premises solution may be very expensive compared to a cloud computing environment, as it is inclined more toward in-house server hardware and software licenses with integration capabilities, apart from requiring dedicated IT staff for support and management in case of any issues in the solution. However, the trend is slowly shifting toward hybrid models that combine both on-premises and cloud-based systems.

Future Market Scenario (2024 – 2031F)

1. AI will push banks to create greater products that meet basic client demands with the least amount of people involved, right from providing information on savings suggestions to expenditure analysis. AI can furnish banks with information on goods and services, profit margins, and expenses.

2. The credibility of AI solutions poses a significant concern that must be effectively managed to secure widespread acceptance of AI within the banking sector. It is imperative that all stakeholders in the banking industry actively collaborate to promote the responsible adoption of AI.

3. Regulators will be more proactive in enforcing policies to safeguard the transparency of AI algorithms, eliminate bias, protect data privacy, and guarantee fair use of customer information. Likewise, banks and service providers will ensure responsible use of AI rather than focusing on the economic gain derived from the innovation.

4. More banks will be shifting towards the hybrid model of deployment to enable the cost benefits of cloud model and to ensure data privacy.
