Factoring services involve financial transactions where a business sells its accounts receivable (invoices) to a third party, known as a factor, at a discounted rate. This enables the selling business to receive immediate cash flow while transferring the responsibility of collecting the receivables to the factor.
The main types of factoring services include recourse and non-recourse factoring. Recourse factoring means the selling business retains responsibility for the repayment of the factored invoices if the buyer fails to pay. Providers of factoring services include banks and non-banking financial institutions, catering to both domestic and international markets. These services find applications across various sectors, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs), large enterprises, and industries such as manufacturing, transport and logistics, information technology, healthcare, construction, and others.

The growth during the historic period can be attributed to several factors, including increasing demand for alternative financing solutions, expanding banking and trading activities, the rising popularity of factoring services as a flexible financing option, growing need for working capital financing alternatives among businesses, and increased international trade activities driving the demand for financial liquidity solutions.
The factoring services market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.09 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including the increase in cross-border factoring transactions, rapid growth and development of factoring services globally, enhanced utilization of digital platforms for financial transactions, rising volume of cross-border trade activities, and the expanding manufacturing sector's need for working capital solutions. Major trends anticipated during this period include advancements in financial technology, the emergence of new online factoring platforms, exploration of cryptocurrency solutions in financial transactions, increasing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) for financial services, ongoing technological innovations in the factoring industry, and integration of supply chain finance with factoring to streamline financial operations.
The factoring services market is poised for growth driven by an increase in cross-border trade activities. Cross-border trade involves the exchange of goods and services between residents and non-residents of different countries, spurred by advancements in technology, policy shifts, economic strategies, and market demands. Factoring services play a crucial role in cross-border trade by optimizing cash flow, managing risks, and supporting global expansion through the sale of accounts receivable to third-party factoring companies. For instance, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development reported in February 2022 that global trade reached a record high of $28.5 trillion, marking a 25% increase from 2020. This surge in cross-border trade activities is a key driver behind the growth of the factoring services market.
