India Peer to Peer Lending Market to Grow with a CAGR of 17.53% through 2030

India Peer-to-Peer lending market is driven by financial inclusion, technological advances, regulatory support, and the appeal of diversified investment opportunities, shaping a dynamic and inclusive financial ecosystem.

According to TechSci Research report, “India Peer to Peer Lending Market - Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the India Peer to Peer Lending Market was valued at USD 13.17 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 34.61 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 17.53% during the forecast period. The India Peer-to-Peer (P2P) lending market has experienced rapid growth over the past decade, fueled by increasing digital adoption, financial inclusion, and a shift toward alternative lending solutions. P2P lending platforms connect individual and institutional lenders directly with borrowers through online platforms, eliminating the need for traditional financial intermediaries such as banks. This innovative model offers more accessible and flexible financing options to borrowers while providing attractive returns to lenders. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has played a crucial role in shaping the market by introducing regulations that ensure transparency, security, and compliance within the sector. As a result, investor confidence in P2P lending has increased, contributing to market expansion.

The rise of fintech companies has been a key driver of the P2P lending market in India. Fintech platforms have leveraged advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to enhance borrower credit assessment, minimize default risks, and improve the efficiency of loan disbursals. Additionally, the integration of digital payment solutions and mobile applications has made the lending process more seamless and accessible, encouraging more participants to engage with P2P platforms. The growing internet penetration and smartphone usage have further boosted the reach of P2P platforms, making them more accessible to rural and semi-urban borrowers. The regulatory framework established by the RBI has provided a solid foundation for the P2P lending market. The RBI classified P2P platforms as Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs), introducing guidelines to cap individual lender exposure, mandate borrower-lender disclosures, and establish reporting requirements. These measures have enhanced transparency and reduced the risk of fraudulent activity. Moreover, regulatory guidelines have encouraged market players to adopt responsible lending practices, protecting both lenders and borrowers from potential financial risks. The improved regulatory environment has positioned the Indian P2P lending market as one of the most promising in the global financial landscape. 

Investor interest in P2P lending has grown significantly due to the attractive returns and portfolio diversification opportunities it offers. Traditional investment avenues such as fixed deposits and mutual funds have witnessed moderate returns in recent years, prompting investors to explore alternative options. P2P platforms provide the opportunity to earn higher returns by lending directly to creditworthy borrowers. The ability to diversify across multiple borrowers and loan types further reduces risk and enhances the stability of returns. Additionally, the introduction of innovative P2P products, such as daily earning loans and monthly income plans, has made P2P lending more appealing to a broader range of investors. The borrower base for P2P lending in India is highly diverse, ranging from small business owners and self-employed individuals to salaried professionals and students. Many borrowers turn to P2P platforms due to the quick loan approval process, minimal documentation requirements, and flexibility in loan terms. Unlike traditional banks, which often have stringent credit requirements and lengthy approval processes, P2P platforms assess borrower creditworthiness using alternative data points and AI-driven models. This approach has enabled P2P platforms to cater to underserved segments of the population, including those without a formal credit history. As a result, P2P lending has emerged as a key driver of financial inclusion in India.
