Risk Analytics Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022 - 2027)

The global risk analytics market (henceforth, referred to as the market studied) was valued at USD 26.81 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach a value of USD 52.33 billion by 2026, while registering a CAGR of approximately 14% over the forecast period, 2021 - 2026. Risk analytics solutions help organizations deal and protect against operational risks, which can arise due to internal factors, such as human errors, failures of systems (which can be related to software, hardware, network, etc.), and fraud cybercrime.

Key Highlights

• Currently, risk analytics techniques are enabling risk managers to measure and predict risk with more certainty than ever before. Organizations are leveraging risk analytics for gathering supporting information through various security data sources to quantify their cyber risks, automate their security operations, and make intelligence-driven decisions. Additionally, organizations are witnessing the increase in regulatory pressure from the cyber perspective with mandates and guidance, such as the PCI-DSS and NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
• The increased usage of large amounts of structured and unstructured data in the various end-user industries boosts the demand for risk analytics to manage and save the data from threats. For instance, According to Seagate Technology PLC, the global volume of data is expected to increase to 47 zettabytes and 163 zettabytes in 2020 and 2025, respectively, from 12 zettabytes in 2015.
• Moreover, cloud computing is driving a software revolution astonishing as any other computing revolution of the past 40 years. As analytics for location-based risk advance, it is only sensible that they can be built and delivered using cloud-based technology rather than older server-based systems. There are several risk assessment and accumulation platforms available now through the cloud. Rules-based approaches to security, whether they are applied to threat detection, investigation, or response, can no longer keep pace with advanced cyber threats, including account compromise and malicious insiders.
• Furthermore, players cater to provide new analytics solutions majorly in the healthcare sector to combat the COVID-19. Laboratory testing influences a significant percentage of clinical decisions and plays an essential role in improving care for patients with common, high-risk conditions. In July 2020, LabCorp launched Insight Analytics reports that support provider organizations are delivering improved care, both individually and on a population level, for a range of high-risk health conditions.

Key Market TrendsBFSI is Expected to Witness Huge Adoption of Risk Analytics Solutions

• Banks across the world are realizing that they need a more rational approach for managing a growing plethora of risks enveloping the banking and financial industries landscape, and they have now understood the significance of risk analytics.
• Risk analytics enables the banks and financial institutions to move away from the “silo” approach to risk management and move toward the “holistic” view of enterprise-wide risks. For instance, in operational risk management (ORM), the number of transactions that needed to be monitored is growing at an exponential rate, thus implying the pressure of current banking infrastructure and enabling the market for risk analytics.
• Financial Organizations are under intense pressure to reduce fraud and meet strict regulatory compliance requirements while growing their business. Moreover, New Account Fraud and Account Takeover are the top two types of fraud challenging the financial institutions today. Risk analytics solutions protect against these and other fraudulent activities across online and mobile channels, using machine learning-based risk analysis, a form of AI.
• According to the Global Association of Risk Professionals, it is estimated that capital markets, banking, and insurance sectors are likely to spend USD 96 billion on risk information technologies and services.
• Additionally, Grant Thornton survey study identified that 85% of respondents believed that their bank’s data and risk information management initiatives need additional efficiencies to realize the full potential. Furthermore, 82% had indicated the same for their institution’s risk analytics and measurements. Hence, such trends drive the need for risk analytics solution in the BFSI industry.

North America is Expected to Hold a Significant Share

• North America is expected to hold the highest market share, with the United States leading the market. The dominance of the region is due to its increasing adoption of risk analytics solutions among end-user industries, a significant presence of large enterprises and drive for early technological adoption owing to competition from other businesses operating in low-cost regions.
• Moreover, the adoption of cloud computing across industries is driving the market growth. The task of protecting Healthcare Information Systems (HIS) from immediate cyber security risks has been intertwined with cloud computing adoption. The data and resources of HISs are inherently shared with other systems for remote access, decision making, emergency, and other healthcare related perspectives.
• Additionally, there have been 28 data breach incidents reported in 2020 in the United States, including email hacking incidents, malware attacks, and unauthorized access to EHRs (source the US Department of Health & Human Services). In the medical healthcare sector, cloud computing is considered to be an immediate remedy, because it is scalable as well as economical.
• The healthcare infrastructure in the United States is experiencing positive trends in the predictive analytics domain. Studies have shown that since last few years, more than 40% of healthcare executives reported a 50% increase in data volume. As the data sets become bigger and more difficult to handle, health systems and payers are increasingly adopting predictive analytics.
• Moreover, the region has a strong foothold of risk analytics vendors which contributes to the growth of the market. Some of them include IBM Corporation, Oracle Corporation, SAS Institute Inc.and AxiomSL Ltd among others..

Competitive Landscape

The risk analytics market is relatively a consolidated market as the major vendors account for a significant share of the market, especially in the enterprise-level adoption. Additionally, the large companies dominate this market owing to their ability to offer innovative and high-quality services to end-users on a different scale and with customization that suits their specific needs. Some of the recent developments in the market are :

• In Feb 2020 - Oracle Corporation Financial Crime and Compliance Managemnet (FCCM) suite of products introduced new updates that includes an integrated analytics workbench, 300-plus customer risk indicators, and embedded graph analytics visualizations. These updates can help financial institutions fight money laundering and achieve compliance.
• In April 2019 - Citi Bank announced the launch of NextGen, its AI-powered risk analytics scoring engine. The bank had collaborated with SAS and EY to create the scoring engine, which aims to streamline the time it takes to review high volumes of trade transactions while also ensuring regulatory compliance. The NextGen will help the bank eliminate time-consuming manual processes and deliver a better view of risk activities and insights.
