Trade Finance Market Trends
Digitization is expected to fuel the growth of trade finance market size. Trade finance procedures necessitate a large volume of physical paper documentation. As a result, document-related costs account for the bulk of Trade Finance costs. Banks' Trade Finance offerings must be adaptable, flexible, low-cost, and add value to their customers in order to succeed. Through digitization, banks are automating financial and transactional information exchange through pilot projects in smart contracts.
A typical trade transaction goes through numerous compliance checks during its life cycle, with each review racking up costs along the way. Increased automation, along with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), can help trade finance reduce overall operational costs and improve customer experience.
Technologies such as Distributed ledger technology (DLT) will allow stakeholders to digitally share accurate and reliable trade information, while smart contracts supported by DLT will allow automated execution of payments on meeting pre-defined conditions in the contract. This also means that reconciliation will no longer be a worry for banks as the ledger is shared and updated in real-time.

It, too, has a wide range of applications for solving real-world issues. AI may be used to identify transaction efficiency or cross-channel marketing opportunities, ensuring banks are making the best use of their capital.
Another growth-inducing factor is the use of electronic systems, such as optical character recognition (OCR), fast response (QR) codes, and radio frequency identification (RFID) readers, to improve the digitization of trade financing operations. In contrast to conventional methods, these devices help streamline the manual process of document recognition and simplify trade transactions.
