Credit Bureau Procurement Intelligence

The credit bureau services category is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.6% from 2023 to 2030.

The market for credit bureaus is expected to grow in the next years due to the rising demand for credit cards.  Credit card benefits like unlimited reward points with usage, insurance protection, discounts, and cashback help to increase credit scores. Further, credit card issuers provide credit bureaus with details about cardholder activity that help them confirm each customer's credit ratings, which serve as the foundation for loan applications. For instance, the Federal Reserve Bank, a US-based bank, reports that from 2021 to 2022, the rate of credit card applications increased from 26.5% to 27.1% in November 2022. As a result, credit card usage rises, and the market for credit bureaus increases.
