“The MSMEs are increasingly participating in cross border activities, including international trade, international investment, and participation in strategic alliances, partnerships, and networking arrangements with proper working capital management. The recent growth in the global industrial restructuring has augmented the growth potential of MSMEs, especially in sectors with strong globalization forces, and formulating strategies on global value chains through cross-border activities,” says Navin Rajendra, Lead Analyst, IT Services, Technavio Research.

Owing to their active engagement in the supply chains, SMEs are focusing towards better risk management models. Investment in risk management increases transparency beyond first-tier suppliers, ensures compliance, and minimizes risk. Whereas, the banks are also increasingly adopting better risk models to augment their lending capacity and boost investments in the MSMEs. Due to the strict credit appraisal process followed by lenders, the quality of MSME loans has improved over the years.

The major players in the global MSME financing market are ICICI, Wells Fargo, and Standard Chartered. The market is highly competitive with an established presence by banks in advanced markets such as the US and Europe. However, emerging markets such as China, India, Bangladesh, Thailand, and Nigeria provide ample opportunities for vendors to capture the market shares.
