Global Open Banking Market and Trends 2023
The open banking market is forecast to see a spurt in growth, with regulators worldwide implementing the concept on a large scale: new yStats.com report.
After the UK, Germany occupies a dominant position in the open banking market
Although the UK is the leader in open banking implementation and development, other countries such as Germany, France, Sweden, and the Netherlands are also making progress. Especially in Germany, the foundation has been laid to develop a strong open banking ecosystem, with the country having the second-highest number of home-regulated third-party providers as of June 2022, as mentioned in the new yStats.com report. Moreover, the number of passporting third-party providers in Germany reached a triple-digit count during the same period. As of 2021, a majority of the third-party providers in Germany offered both account information and payment initiation service, with this share being higher compared to the entire EEA region. Furthermore, the share of countries in the EEA that are approved to provide third-party services in Germany also saw a slight increase from 2019 to 2021. The number of third-party providers in Germany reached a triple-digit value as of June 2022, thereby reducing the gap between the EEA and Germany. More than three-quarters of countries in the EEA have the authority to provide third-party services in Germany, with Lithuania at the top of the list, followed by France and the Netherlands. One challenge that remains is providing stable and standard APIs.
Unlike its European counterparts, open banking in Asia-Pacific is mainly market driven, with Australia being the exception
After Europe, Asia-Pacific is the region with the highest number of open banking platforms and products as of 2021. The growth of open banking in the region is due to consumers' willingness to share their data, as outlined in the new yStats.com report. In Asia-Pacific, countries such as Australia, Hong Kong, and Singapore are some of the early adopters of open banking. In 2022, Australia aims to implement consumer data rights for the energy sector that will ensure further growth of open banking in the country. Singapore has robust and dynamic legislation in place for the development of open banking. New Zealand also plans to launch a similar consumer data rights initiative like in Australia by the end of 2022. Moreover, countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines are also making progress in the development of open banking initiatives.
