Islamic Financial Market Analysis

The Islamic Finance Market is expected to register a CAGR of greater than 10% during the forecast period(2024-2029).

 In 2021, the total net income reported by Islamic financial institutions around the world went from USD 10.5 billion in 2020 to USD 32 billion. This shows that things are getting better, especially for Islamic banks.

The Islamic finance industry had another tough year, with many markets slowly getting back up to speed and countries reopening their economies. But new waves of the COVID-19 virus, first the Delta variant and then the Omicron variant, stopped the progress. The new COVID-19 waves caused new lockdowns or safety measures, which again messed up global supply chains and made it more expensive to move things. The year 2021 ended on a better note because most countries were able to loosen their pandemic-related rules because they had high vaccination rates. Because of this, the world's demand for oil went up faster than it could be made, since OPEC+ production limits were locked in by an agreement signed in late 2020. Consequently, crude oil prices increased in 2021, with the spot prices of Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil closing the year at USD 77.78 and USD 75.21, respectively, up from USD 51.09 and USD 47.62 at the start of January. This eased budgetary pressures on the GCC economies that depend on oil revenues.

Islamic Finance Market Size Summary

The Islamic finance market is poised for significant growth, driven by a robust compound annual growth rate over the forecast period. Despite challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted global supply chains and impacted economic activities, the industry has shown resilience. The recovery in oil prices, particularly benefiting GCC economies, has provided a favorable backdrop for the sector's expansion. Malaysia stands out as a key player in the Islamic finance landscape, with a well-established regulatory framework that supports the growth of Shariah-compliant financial institutions and instruments. The country's proactive initiatives and educational investments have positioned it as a global hub for sukuk issuance, attracting international issuers and investors to its vibrant Islamic capital market.

The Islamic finance market is characterized by fragmentation, with numerous players vying for market share in developing regions like Asia and Africa, while the GCC remains highly competitive with significant international presence. The takaful sector, although smaller, is experiencing double-digit growth and undergoing consolidation to enhance competitiveness. Mergers and acquisitions, such as those involving Dar Al Takaful and Watania in the UAE, are aimed at reducing costs and strengthening market positions. Major players in the GCC, including Bank Al-Rajhi and Dubai Islamic Bank, continue to shape the competitive landscape. Recent strategic moves, such as Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank's increased ownership in ADIB Egypt and Kuwait Finance House's acquisition of Ahli United Bank, highlight ongoing consolidation and expansion efforts within the industry.
