AI in fintech market set to surpass $79bn by 2030 as adoption surges
As financial institutions race to automate and optimise operations, AI adoption continues to grow, fueling strong market forecasts for the coming years. According to data presented by Stocklytics.com, the AI in fintech market is projected to more than double in value and surpass $79 billion by 2030.
Fintech companies are increasingly turning to AI solutions to enhance speed, security, and personalisation in a competitive market. Artificial intelligence is helping to make processes faster and more cost-effective by spotting fraud, improving lending decisions, and offering more tailored banking services.
With customer expectations rising and cyber threats evolving, AI has shifted from being a helpful tool to a necessity in fintech.
The Statista and Research and Markets data show that just two years ago, the AI in fintech market was valued at $22.5 billion. Since then, it has grown by nearly 45 per cent and is projected to reach $32.2 billion in 2025.
With tech companies increasingly adopting AI to improve workflows and services, the market is expected to grow by another $6 billion in 2026 and $8 billion in 2027, reaching more than $46 billion by 2027.
Research and Markets further projects that global fintech market value will continue growing by an average of $10 billion per year, ultimately surpassing $79 billion by 2030. This marks a staggering 145 per cent increase in just five years, a growth rate 50 per cent higher than the projected five-year growth of the autonomous and sensor technology market and 40 per cent more than the expected growth of the computer vision segment during the same period.
Beyond transforming internal operations, AI is also driving the overall growth of the fintech industry. According to a Statista Market Insights survey, the fintech industry is on track to reach more than $120 billion in value this year, a 16 per cent increase from last year and a 200 per cent jump since 2022.
With AI automating tasks, enhancing security, and enabling smarter, faster, and more personalised financial solutions at scale, the market revenue is expected to grow by another 17 per cent, reaching over $141 billion by 2028.

Bankruptcy court 'will make UAE more attractive to foreign firms'
The announcement of a new bankruptcy court in Abu Dhabi is expected to broaden the UAE's appeal to foreign firms considering setting up operations in the country, according to experts. The Arab world's second-largest economy on Thursday announced the establishment of the bankruptcy court, which will adjudicate requests and disputes arising from bankruptcy cases. More branches of the court can be established in other emirates, and these will have the same jurisdiction as the headquarters, the Ministry of Justice said. 'Foreign companies considering onshore operations – particularly in FinTech, private credit and digital assets, will welcome enhanced insolvency frameworks,' said Andrew Mackenzie, partner and regional head of litigation, arbitration and regulatory at DLA Piper Middle East. 'The ability to restructure, exit or resolve disputes efficiently is now a credible legal assurance, making onshore incorporation a more attractive proposition.' The UAE is continuing to attract foreign direct investment as the economy grows amid diversification strategies. The UAE received Dh167 billion ($45.5 billion) in foreign direct investment last year, up 48 per cent compared to the previous year, and the country has its sights firmly set on an aggregate FDI target of Dh1.3 trillion by 2031. The UAE accounted for 37 per cent of the total foreign investment flows in the region, according to a social media post on X last month by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai. Cepa boost The Emirates is also signing new Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreements that are helping to attract more foreign direct investment into the country. It has concluded 27 Cepas with different partners across the globe, with 10 of those deals now being implemented. The establishment of a dedicated bankruptcy court marks 'a significant step in further strengthening the UAE's legal infrastructure', Zubair Mir, senior partner at law firm Norton Rose Fulbright, said. 'It is likely to enhance investor confidence by ensuring transparent, efficient resolution of financial disputes and insolvency cases – all key considerations for foreign entities looking to invest or establish operations in the region,' Mr Mir said. UAE's new reforms In 2020, the country overhauled its commercial companies' law to attract more foreign capital and annulled the requirement for onshore companies to have an Emirati shareholder. It also unveiled the NextGen FDI programme, which aims to speed up licensing, increase the issuance of bulk or golden visas, improve banking services and provide commercial and residential lease incentives for technology companies seeking to relocate to the country. The new bankruptcy court is expected to strengthen emerging financial sectors such as crypto, private credit and modern banking. 'These sectors depend on robust legal frameworks that can swiftly and securely resolve creditor issues and restructuring protocols,' Mr Mackenzie said. 'This court greatly enhances legal certainty around new finance models, attracting greater institutional interest and investment.' Regional advantage The new move is also expected to help the UAE position itself ahead of regional peers and attract more FDI. 'While jurisdictions like Saudi Arabia have modernised insolvency laws, many still rely on commercial or generalist courts, and these courts often delay formal restructuring,' Mr Mackenzie said. 'Establishing a dedicated judicial forum places the UAE ahead of regional rivals – making it the go‑to jurisdiction for financial dispute resolution in the Gulf region.' The introduction of a dedicated bankruptcy court in Abu Dhabi is 'an extremely positive step towards providing additional certainly and security to both international and local businesses operating in the UAE', said Mark Gilligan, partner at global law firm Morgan Lewis 'The introduction of a dedicated bankruptcy court will increase the already strong reputation of the UAE as a global commercial and financial centre.'

93% warehouses prioritise throughput as key to ROI, says report
A new global report from AutoStore, analyzed by Swisslog, reveals that 93% of supply chain leaders rate improving throughput as a top warehouse priority in 2025, with nearly all surveyed (97%) having implemented some form of automation to date. With the Middle East logistics market set to double this year since 2020, the findings underscore the growing urgency for businesses to optimize automation and software capabilities to unlock higher performance and faster returns on investment. The State of Warehouse Management and Fulfillment 2025 report surveyed over 300 global executives with supply chain responsibility, benchmarking automation trends, and identifying key operational priorities. Swisslog, a leading AutoStore integrator, examined the findings with a focus on how advanced warehouse execution and automation control software, such as Swisslog's SynQ platform, can drive meaningful improvements in the metrics that matter most to regional businesses. Key highlights from the report include: ●Throughput performance surges in priority: Improving throughput rose from the 8th highest priority in 2024 to 4th in 2025, with 93% of respondents citing it as 'very' or 'extremely important.' ●Near-universal adoption of automation: 97% of warehouses have already implemented some form of automation, yet nearly half (48%) report being less than 50% automated, highlighting significant room for growth. ●Software-driven optimization: Advanced automation control software can unlock up to 20% increases in bin retrieval speeds by optimizing bin selection and order batching. ●Integration is critical: As automation levels expand, seamless software integration across multiple systems becomes vital to prevent operational complexity and ensure data-driven performance improvements. The report also highlights how flexibility in automation software enables businesses to adapt to evolving customer demands, streamline omnichannel fulfillment, and maximize both throughput and storage density. Commenting on the findings, Rami Younes, General Manager at Swisslog Middle East, said: "This year's report makes it clear: automation alone is no longer enough. Businesses that want to stay competitive must also focus on software that enhances performance and integrates seamlessly across technologies." "In the Middle East, where we're seeing fast growth in omnichannel retail and an e-commerce sector projected to reach $50 billion by 2025, the pressure to improve throughput, maximize density, optimize order fulfilment and adapt to demand spikes is mounting. Software is the key enabler of these capabilities," he added. The report also warns of the risks of fragmented automation systems, which can lead to inefficiencies and limit the value of operational data. Swisslog's SynQ platform addresses this by providing a single, unified software solution to manage and optimize automation assets.
