Anti-Money Laundering Industry Forecast 2025-2029 & 2034 - NICE Actimize, Tata Consultancy Services, Trulioo, ACI Worldwide, and SAS Institute Lead the $5.98 Billion Market
Dublin, March 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Anti-Money Laundering Market Report 2025" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The anti-money laundering market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.92 billion in 2024 to $3.39 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to globalization of financial transactions, rise in financial crimes, increased digital transactions, government initiatives and enforcement, regulatory compliance requirements. The anti-money laundering market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.98 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to real-time transaction monitoring, enhancing know your customer (KYC) processes, automated regulatory reporting, increasing focus on trade-based money laundering, enhanced customer monitoring. Major trends in the forecast period include emphasis on transaction monitoring and analysis, cryptocurrency and virtual asset AML solutions, deployment of regulatory technology (RegTech), biometric authentication in AML processes, automated suspicious activity reporting (SAR). The surge in digital payments and internet banking activities is projected to drive the expansion of the anti-money laundering market. For example, in February 2023, India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology reported a notable increase in digital payment transactions, recording 8,840 crore transactions in the financial year 2021-22, up from 5,554 crore in the preceding fiscal year. Consequently, the intensified emphasis on digital payment and internet banking is propelling the growth of the anti-money laundering market. The rise in cyber threats is expected to fuel the expansion of the anti-money laundering market. Notably, in February 2023, the Australian Cyber Security Centre observed a significant surge in cybercrime reports, tallying 76,000 cases in 2022, marking a 13% increase from the previous year. Moreover, in January 2022, Check Point Research highlighted a 50% upsurge in corporate hacking attacks per week during 2021. As a result, the escalating number of cyber threats is fostering growth within the anti-money laundering market. Major players in the anti-money laundering (AML) market are embracing novel technological solutions, such as AI-powered AML products, to fortify their market presence. For instance, in June 2023, Google LLC's Google Cloud Platform introduced an AI-powered AML product. This innovation harnesses machine learning capabilities to generate risk scores, effectively pinpointing high-risk customers. Moreover, this product delivers real-time alerts concerning the most critical money laundering risks and identifies shifts in transactional data and illicit activities. In May 2023, Verified, a prominent US-based provider specializing in anti-money laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) digital solutions, finalized the acquisition of Pliance for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition by Verified aims to streamline and automate crucial business procedures using digital signatures while integrating advanced AML automation functionalities. Pliance, a Swedish regtech company, specializes in offering automated financial crime compliance solutions, particularly in the domain of anti-money laundering (AML) automation. North America was the largest region in the anti-money laundering market in 2024. The regions covered in the anti-money laundering market report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East, Africa. The countries covered in the anti-money laundering market report are Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, South Korea, UK, USA, Canada, Italy, Spain.
