Global Cash Management Services (CMS) Market Analysis and Forecast 2019-2028

The global market for cash management services was valued at US$ 3.0 Bn in 2021 and is growing significantly with a CAGR of 9.5% over the forecast period of 2022-2028. The need to contain costs and expenses is the principal driver of change in cash management in various regions. While multinationals are more proactive towards cash management practices, large professionally managed domestic companies with well-diversified portfolios are increasingly interested in maximizing benefits this way. Cash flow management software helps the company to meet cash flows, allows financial planning activities in the organization, and maintains capital expenditures.

The introduction of AI has fueled the growth of the market in the past years. The implementation of AI technologies such as machine learning, robotic process automation (RPA), and deep learning has transformed the process of cash management and forecasting. As a result, the cash management process resulted in increased efficiencies, increased productivity, and increased profitability. By eliminating the need for manual tasks such as reporting payables and receivables, technology improves the effectiveness of such tasks while also increasing efficiency by reducing time demand. Such factors are expected to drive the growth of the market in the near future.

Retail stores that accept, process, and store cash payments are expected to drive the growth of the market as the cash is kept in stores and the need for working capital grows. Furthermore, the cash management services market is highly vulnerable to internal cash shrinkage or theft. Internal employees were responsible for more than US$ 41 billion in shrinkage, according to the Global Retail Theft Barometer. This necessitates the need for an efficient money management system, which provides the market with lucrative growth opportunities.

However, software incompatibility during expansion has resulted in a significant disadvantage for vendors of cash management systems. This is attributed to system interoperability issues that arise when organizations collaborate or are acquired by another company. Furthermore, establishing a cash management system necessitates the installation of specific infrastructure that is compatible with new technologies.

The prevalence of finance management in organizations is expected to drive the market growth

Organizations have started focusing on the financial health of the company owing to a rapid rise in fraudulent activities and cybercrime. In addition, the shifting focus of key market players toward financial efficiency is expected to fuel the adoption of cash management services in the forthcoming years. Moreover, such technology helps banks to maintain cash flow and payments through an established network. This allows banks to scale money management systems to address corporate customers’ requirements by providing real-time access to transactions. Such demand from banks and financial institutions is anticipated to fuel the growth of the market. Besides, strong communication and banking infrastructure, minimal political and regulatory intervention, stable exchange rates, and zero-taxation policies are some of the key drivers of the cash management services market.

Europe dominates the global cash management services market

Europe holds a major share of the global cash management services market in 2022 and is further expected to continue the same trend over the forecast period. This growth is attributed to the presence of major players and the growing adoption of cash management services in the region. The Asia Pacific region is anticipated to emerge as the fastest-growing regional market over the forecast period owing to the increasing demand for money management systems to maximize the automation of high-volume financial transactions for large enterprises.

The rapid adoption of cash management services to avoid liquidity crises is expected to drive sales revenue for the North American cash management services market in the forthcoming years. The growing popularity of systems in developing regions, such as Latin America, is characterized by the increased spending on cash management software in the region. In the middle-east region, increased participation from the private players in the market coupled with low political risk and favorable financial regulations are expected to offer good investment opportunities for the Middle East and African markets.
