Loan servicing encompasses the administrative management of a loan from the disbursement of funds to the borrower until the loan is fully repaid. This process involves a range of tasks to ensure the loan remains in good standing and that the lender receives timely payments.
In the loan servicing market, the main types of loans include conventional loans, conforming loans, Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans, private money loans, and hard money loans. Conventional loans are standard mortgage loans not insured or guaranteed by any government agency. Key components of loan servicing include software and services, with deployment modes available as both on-premise and cloud-based solutions. Lenders in this market can be local banks, government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs), or private organizations.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a considerable impact on the financial sector, particularly in the areas of investment strategies and risk management. The increased tariffs have intensified market volatility, leading institutional investors to adopt more cautious approaches and driving greater demand for hedging solutions. Banks and asset managers are encountering higher costs in cross-border transactions as disrupted global supply chains and declining corporate earnings weigh on equity market performance. At the same time, insurance providers are facing elevated claims risks linked to supply chain interruptions and trade-related business losses. Furthermore, reduced consumer spending and weaker export demand are limiting credit growth and dampening investment appetite. In response to these challenges, the sector must focus on diversification, accelerate digital transformation, and strengthen scenario planning to manage the heightened economic uncertainty and safeguard profitability.

The loan servicing market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.51 billion in 2024 to $2.92 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to regulatory changes, increasing loan origination volumes, growth in demand for automation, rise in borrower expectations, economic fluctuations, and increase in need for enhanced data security.
The loan servicing market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.38 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for automation, growing focus on regulatory compliance, expanding mortgage and lending sectors, heightened consumer expectations for seamless service, and increasing need for scalable solutions to handle large loan portfolios. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in AI-driven automation for enhanced efficiency, blockchain technology for improved transparency and security, integration of advanced analytics for better decision-making, innovations in digital platforms for streamlined borrower interactions, and adoption of cloud-based solutions for scalability.
The forecast of 16.5% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.1% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through increased operational expenses, as automated payment reminder systems and escrow management platforms, predominantly developed in China and South Korea, face higher maintenance costs due to specialized hardware tariffs. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The rise in business startups is expected to drive the growth of the loan servicing market. Business startups are newly established businesses in their early stages. The increase in startups is attributed to greater availability of funding options, a growing culture of entrepreneurship, and emerging market trends and consumer demands. Startups often need various types of loans, such as working capital loans, equipment financing, and lines of credit. This diversity in loan products requires specialized servicing to manage different terms, repayment structures, and borrower needs. For example, according to the United States Census Bureau, a US-based federal agency responsible for conducting the U.S. Census and gathering demographic data, the number of business formation applications in the U.S. rose from 428,718 in January 2023 to 447,499 in January 2024. Thus, the increase in business startups is driving the growth of the loan servicing market.
