India Supply Chain Finance market is projected to witness a CAGR of 9.24% during the forecast period FY2025-FY2032, growing from USD 403.51 million in FY2024 to USD 818.29 million in FY2032. Factors such as increasing competition and new agreements regarding supply chain finance, increasing demand for working capital financing, surge in adoption of supply chain finance by small and medium-sized enterprises in developing countries, government initiatives, and the adoption of digital technologies have led to growth in the supply chain finance market. Supply chain finance provides short-term credit that optimizes the working capital and reduces the risk of supply chain disturbance for the buyers and sellers. It provides the supplier with early payments on their invoices as they are automated using advanced technology.

In February 2024, Mumbai-based supply chain financing platform, Cashinvoice, raised USD 3.4 million in its Series A round from HDFC Bank, Pravega Ventures, and Accion Venture Labs. This current funding round enabled them to strengthen their end-to-end supply chain finance offerings and extend footprints to deep tiers of the supply chain. Many micro and small firms are unable to secure critical working capital for their daily operations. Overall, supply chain finance provides significant tools for managing liquidity, risk mitigation, and promoting cooperation among supply chain partners.

Government Initiatives Fuel Growth in the Market

The Indian government has taken various initiatives to boost growth related to supply chain finance in the country. Some of these are Make in India Initiative, Production Linked Incentives, India Semiconductor Mission, Industrial Corridor Development Program, and National Logistics Policy. The supply chain finance market will bear the effect of the Make in India initiative, which is intended to increase domestic production by enhancing manufacturing. It encourages businesses to manufacture products in India indirectly, which thereby increases the demand for raw materials, components, and others. The financial incentives under the Production Linked Incentive program will be paid to selected companies for achieving incremental production, which will ensure that companies expand their manufacturing capabilities and grow production capacities, further indirectly benefiting the supply chain finance market.

Technological Advancements Boost the Market Growth

Innovation in technology and a rise in the adoption of digitalization have been important in fueling growth of the supply chain finance market. Fintech startups are part of the major process of optimization of financial transactions occurring within the supply chain, as they develop a dynamic model using API-enabled services that enhance the early payment opportunity by the buyers against offering cash discounts. This increases operational efficiency, transparency, and flexibility in market. The adoption of blockchain technology and smart contracts provides security and integrity to the supply chain as it helps in risk mitigation.

In June 2023, ICICI Bank launched an industry-first and one-of-its-kind digital B2B ecosystem platform, Digital Financial and Supply Chain Platform, to enable corporates to digitize end-to-end integration with their supply chain constituents, dealers, vendors, and other micro, small, and medium enterprises, for day-to-day business transactions and payments or collection, as well as availing of channel financing from ICICI Bank at a click of the button.
