An omnichannel approach that integrates both online and offline experiences has financial services that help improve the shopping experience. Growing cooperation between fintech and retailers helps to achieve significant integration and compliance with the requirements to introduce new services.

Based on the business model, the B2C model is expected to hold a higher growth rate during the forecast period.
The B2C model for embedded finance is expected to experience tremendous growth primarily because of the rising customer expectations for integrated and omnichannel financial solutions. The development of digital channels and e-commerce fuels the need for broader implementation. Innovation experiences in fintech, APIs, and AI, for instance, have helped ease integration, lowering entry barriers. Moreover, the strategic B2C model increases customer loyalty and customer retention since it provides them with individualized financial services, thus building lasting partnerships. It also widens the market since consumers who used to be locked out from accessing financial facilities due to various factors can access business ventures. Favorable economic and demographic indicators, such as improved disposable income, especially in emerging markets, as well as enhanced access to the Internet, have also boosted the demand for integrated financial services. These factors have made it evident that the B2C embedded finance model will likely realize faster growth during the forecast period under consideration.

The Asia Pacific region will have the highest growth rate in the embedded finance market for the next forecast period because of several factors. The constantly expanding digitally linked economy due to the rise in Internet connection and smartphone use makes it easier to incorporate financial services into consumer apps. The growth of e-commerce and a continuously increasing volume of online purchases, the development of the middle class and a gradual increase in the available amount of money encourage the desire to have non-cash payment solutions such as digital wallets and BNPL. State programs aimed at developing digital financial services make a helping condition, and significant investments in fintech start-ups and technological development fuel the market’s growth. A large population of the countries in this region presents a substantial demand for financial services. The tech firms collaborate with different institutions and businesses to ensure that financial services are integrated into a universal platform. All these factors combined make it possible to affirm that the Asia Pacific region will maintain a favorable, capturing growth rate in the forecast period.
