AI-Powered Regtech Set for Explosive Growth, Projecting $6.64 Billion Value by 2028

With the increasing prevalence of artificial intelligence (AI), Research and Markets predicts regtech (regulatory technology) to drive its adoption. AI in regtech is projected to grow significantly, reaching $6.64 billion by 2028 from $1.37 billion currently, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 36.9%. Factors contributing to this growth include real-time monitoring and reporting requirements, soaring compliance costs, and the complexity of data management.

Artificial Intelligence-Driven Regtech Poised for Exponential Growth

Amidst the relentless advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), industry experts at Research and Markets forecast that regulatory technology (Regtech) will emerge as the next major driver of AI adoption.

A comprehensive report from the firm projects a stratospheric rise in the value of the AI-powered Regtech market, surging from its current valuation of $1.37 billion to an astounding $6.64 billion by 2028. This exponential growth signifies a remarkable compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 36.9%, propelling Regtech to the forefront of enterprise compliance strategies.

The report attributes the surge in AI adoption within Regtech to an array of compelling factors, foremost among them, the imperative for real-time monitoring and reporting to safeguard consumer interests. Other key growth drivers include the escalating costs of compliance and the daunting challenge of managing burgeoning data sets.

Already, the AI adoption trajectory in Regtech is exhibiting a pronounced upward trend, with market projections indicating a surge to $1.89 billion by 2024.

"Forecasts for the projected period envision the widespread adoption of machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP), the integration of explainable AI (XAI), the leveraging of predictive analytics, the automation of compliance processes, risk assessment and management, and the establishment of regulatory sandboxes and innovation hubs," the report states.

The financial industry, in particular, is poised to spearhead the adoption of AI-based Regtech products, with the majority of services centered on fraud detection and anti-money laundering (AML) tools. In recent months, a surge in regulatory scrutiny has spurred numerous firms to seek AI-backed Regtech applications. In the United Kingdom, Regtech behemoth CUBE recently announced the acquisition of industry rival The Hub, anticipating the predicted industry boom before the end of the decade.

The extensive 117-page report identifies North America, and the United States specifically, as the primary drivers of AI-powered Regtech applications throughout the survey period. Nonetheless, the European Union (EU), the Middle East, and Southeast Asia are anticipated to contribute significantly to adoption rates in the years to come, aligning with the imperative to adhere to global regulatory standards.

AI Revolution Spreads Across Industries

Regtech is not an isolated sector earmarked for significant AI growth in the coming years. Experts predict that the mobile AI market could skyrocket into a $39.91 billion industry, with industry titans Samsung and Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) investing heavily to maintain their competitive edge.

The social media space is also bracing for a substantial growth surge. However, amidst this technological advancement, regulators are acutely aware of the necessity to keep pace with emerging technologies to protect consumer interests and maintain social order.

"The FTC has been actively investigating the risks associated with AI utilization, encompassing violations of consumer privacy, automated discrimination and bias, and the potential for deceptive practices, impersonation schemes, and other forms of scams," the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) declared in November 2023.

For AI to operate seamlessly within the confines of the law and flourish in the face of escalating challenges, it requires integration with an enterprise blockchain system that safeguards data input quality and ownership, ensuring data security while simultaneously guaranteeing data immutability.
