The budget planner segment accounted for the second-largest share of more than 30% of the overall revenue in 2023. The budget planner helps individuals and business owners to plan and budget their expenses. It enables them to achieve financial stability by paying bills on time and saving funds for other major expenses, such as a car or home. Furthermore, the increasing launches of such budget planner across the globe is anticipated to drive the segment’s growth. For instance, in November 2023, Santander UK, a financial services company, announced the launch of its financial support hub, a budget calculator, and financial health check.
The investment tracker segment is projected to register the fastest CAGR from 2024 to 2033. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the increasing awareness about investments among customers. Various organizations, such as The Securities and Exchange Commission's Office of Investor Education and Advocacy (OIEA), promote investment awareness among individuals. Furthermore, various personal finance software, such as Quicken Inc., Buxfer Inc., and Intuit, provide investment tracking tools that bode well with the segment’s growth.
The desktop-based software segment dominated the market in 2023 accounting for a share of more than 55% of the overall revenue. The dominance of the desktop-based software segment is primarily due to the accessibility of maximum features, including charts and graphs, over a desktop compared to mobile phones. Desktop-based software may be of more utility to institutions due to the complex nature of their cash flow. Several personal finance software, such as Moneydance, a desktop-based personal finance software, can be accessed using Windows, Mac, or Linux desktops.
The mobile-based software segment is projected to register the fastest growth rate over the forecast period. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the high penetration rate of mobile phones worldwide. For instance, in 2023, according to Newzoo International B.V., a video games and gamer data company, the smartphone penetration rate across China, the U.S., and Japan has climbed to 68.4%, 81.6%, and 78.6%, respectively. Furthermore, various desktop-based personal software companies have already started introducing applications based on Android and iOS operating systems.
The cloud segment dominated the market in 2023 and accounted for a share of more than 53% of the overall revenue. An increase in the adoption of the cloud by several enterprises across the globe is expected to drive the segment's growth. Furthermore, the cloud allows syncing of the data and offers multi-device access to the users. For instance, a person can easily switch between a mobile device and a desktop with cloud deployment; thereby, such benefits are expected to fuel the segment's growth over the forecast period.
The on-premise deployment segment is anticipated to register the second-fastest growth rate from 2024 to 2033. The growth of on-premise personal finance software can be attributed to its highly secured nature. The on-premise deployments provide control over software upgrades and their frequency. As a result, it can be a preferred choice for many small enterprises, as it offers the best way to secure and manage their financial data.
The individuals segment dominated the market in 2023 accounting for a share of more than 59% of the overall revenue. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the increasing adoption of personal finance software by individuals to track their financial data. A rise in the adoption of personal finance software can be attributed to the rising financial awareness among individuals. For instance, according to the FINRA survey, around 71% of adult Americans believe they have high financial literacy levels. The small businesses segment is expected to register the fastest CAGR from 2024 to 2033.
The growth can be attributed to the increasing adoption of personal finance software by small business owners. The adoption can be attributed to the benefits provided by the software, which include allowing small business owners to do expense tracking and budgeting, invoicing & payment management, and managing cash flow. Furthermore, the increasing number of small businesses across the globe is anticipated to fuel the segment's growth. For instance, according to advocacy.sba.gov and Oberlo, in 2023, the number of small businesses reached 33.2 million across the U.S.
North America dominated the global market in 2023 accounting for a share of more than 30% of the overall revenue. The presence of prominent personal finance software providers, such as Quicken Inc., Intuit, Inc. (Mint), and Buxfer Inc., is anticipated to fuel the regional market's growth. Furthermore, the rising campaigns and financial literacy programs are expected to fuel the regional market's growth over the forecast period. In addition, the rising investments in personal finance software companies also bode well for regional market growth.
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region over the forecast period. The region's growth can be attributed to the increasing adoption of personal finance software across countries, including China and India. Furthermore, a rise in the population of these countries creates growth opportunities for the regional market. In addition, the increasing financial awareness among individuals in this region is expected to drive regional market growth over the forecast period.
