Equipment finance refers to a loan or lease used to purchase commercial equipment. Business equipment can be any physical asset other than real estate, such as office furniture, computer equipment, manufacturing machines, medical equipment, or corporate cars. Equipment financing allows businesses to get the supplies they need at affordable rates and on terms that work for both the borrower and the lender.
The equipment finance services market size is propelled by technological advancements such as AI, blockchain, and IoT which revolutionize the asset management and financing processes, thereby attracting both providers and consumers towards equipment finance solutions. Furthermore, economic conditions such as interest rates, GDP growth, and business confidence influence investment decisions and demand for equipment financing services. In addition, evolving consumer preferences and demands for flexible financing options and value-added services drive providers to adapt their offerings to meet changing market needs, fostering competition and innovation. However, regulatory compliance and economic uncertainties pose a significant challenge, hindering the equipment finance services market growth. On the contrary, the growing equipment finance services market trend towards sustainability and environmental consciousness presents opportunities for equipment finance providers to offer green financing solutions, leading to the rising demand for eco-friendly equipment and practices. Moreover, partnerships and collaborations across industries enable equipment finance companies to leverage complementary expertise and resources, expanding their market reach and enhancing their service offerings to meet diverse customer needs in the upcoming years. For instance, in April 2022, MidCap Business Credit increased its senior credit facility with Wells Fargo Capital Finance to $200 million. This upsize enables MidCap to support the growth of its existing asset-based lending business and support the launch of its equipment finance vertical, MidCap Equipment Finance, which focuses on providing equipment leases and loans between $2 million and $20 million to middle-market customers in the U.S. and Canada. In addition, key players in the equipment finance services industry adopt various strategies to attract and retain customers, recognizing the importance of providing affordable equipment financing options to individuals, SMEs, trust institutions, and others. For instance, in February 2024, Fintech firm Credit Fair partnered with Jakson Solar to offer affordable solar equipment financing options to individuals, MSMEs, trust institutions, and housing societies. Credit Fair has set an ambitious target of scaling up its green financing loan portfolio to $48.2 million (Rs 400 crore) and growing its total Assets Under Management (AUM) to $120.4 million (Rs 1,000 crore) by FY25.
