Which Key Market Drivers Powering Online Alternative Finance Market Expansion and Growth?
The expected surge in the usage of smartphones is projected to boost the expansion of the online alternative finance sector. Emerging as a handheld electronic gadget, smartphones have combined mobile communication, internet connectivity, and various computer functions, which makes communication, browsing, and running different apps possible for users. The affordability of smartphones is increasing, leading to its growing penetration, thus making sophisticated mobile technology more accessible to large sections of society. The omnipresent access to smartphones propels online alternative finance by enabling users to readily utilize financial services through mobile applications for diverse tasks like applying for loans, investing, and online transactions, regardless of their location. For example, a report from Uswitch Limited, a UK enterprise offering online and telephone comparison services, stated in February 2023 that, as of 2022, there were 71.8 million active mobile subscriptions, marking a 3.8% uptick from 2021. Furthermore, it's anticipated that by 2025, there will be 68.3 million individuals in the UK, with 95% of them having smartphones. Hence, the surging penetration of smartphones is fuelling the growth trajectory of the online alternative finance sector.

Which Fast-Growing Trends Are Poised to Disrupt the Online Alternative Finance Market?
Leading firms in the web-based alternative finance market are actively working towards creating innovative options, such as digital investment platforms, to increase the speed, ease of use, and effectiveness of financial solutions for underprivileged businesses and individuals. These digital investment platforms are internet-based tools that provide a platform for users to invest in different types of investments including bonds, stocks, or mutual funds through websites or the use of mobile applications. For example, in April 2025, Keyaki Capital, a Japanese alternative investment solutions company, introduced the Online Private Asset Investment Platform. This platform offers wealthy individuals a digital platform to access private investment funds such as private equity and private credit. This launch signified a significant step towards democratizing access to high-grade private market investments in Japan, which were hard to access before. This platform, registered under Japan's Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, centralizes on transparency, accessibility, and investor protection. During its launch, the platform presented a Private Credit Fund and the Marina Investment Fund with future plans of adding more strategies including venture capital, real estate, and extra private capital. Keyaki Capital is using this technology-driven platform to revolutionize private investing in Japan.
