Asia Pacific Private Credit Market Zooming 3.4X to Surpass USD 390 Billion by 2031

Published | 19 September 2025

Asia Pacific Private Credit Market is booming primarily due to the ongoing shift of borrowing from traditional banks to non-bank lenders, a rise in capital allocation from institutional and high-net-worth (HNW) investors, and the growing financing needs of underserved middle-market enterprises.

BlueWeave Consulting, a leading strategic consulting and market research firm, in its recent study, estimated Asia Pacific Private Credit Market size by value at USD 114.5 billion in 2024. During the forecast period between 2025 and 2031, BlueWeave expects Asia Pacific Private Credit Market size to boom at a robust CAGR of 19.15% reaching a value of USD 390.37 billion by 2031. The growth of Private Credit Market across Asia Pacific region is propelled by strong regional GDP growth, increasing intra-Asian trade and investment, and a strategic diversification away from U.S. markets. This "Asia for Asia" trend is accelerating as countries like Vietnam, Malaysia, and India strengthen domestic consumption and regional supply chains, while China deepens its investments across the APAC region. The rapid rise of smart cities, which require innovative financing, and the insufficiency of traditional bank and equity funding to meet the needs of middle-market companies and infrastructure projects, are positioning private credit as a compelling and cost-effective solution. Investors are increasingly seeking diversification from highly leveraged Western markets, finding APAC's private credit sector offers attractive risk-adjusted returns supported by robust growth prospects. Opportunities are also expanding in sustainable finance and urban infrastructure, with private credit playing a critical role in funding smart cities and climate-resilient projects. However, the market faces challenges such as fragmented regulations, macroeconomic volatility, scaling limitations, and intensifying competition from banks and global funds. Success will depend on deep local expertise, strong borrower relationships, and selective deal structuring.

India Leads Asia Pacific Private Credit Market

India dominates Asia-Pacific Private Credit Market and is expected to maintain its dominance. This is fueled by the country's robust economic growth, which is projected at 6.8% for FY 2024–25, along with strong domestic demand and a growing working-age population. The expansion of private credit is largely driven by a funding gap left by traditional banks and NBFCs, creating a fertile environment for Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs). In 2023, commitments to AIFs surged to nearly USD 100 billion, with Category II funds leading the growth. Additionally, private credit deal flow reached a record high of 108 transactions valued at USD 7.8 billion. Supported by favorable regulatory reforms like the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) and increasing participation from both domestic and foreign investors, India is well-positioned to sustain its leadership in the region's private credit sector.

Impact of Escalating Geopolitical Tensions on Asia Pacific Private Credit Market

Intensifying geopolitical tensions could have a multifaceted impact on the growth of Asia Pacific Private Credit Market. Rising trade disputes, protectionist policies, and regional conflicts increase uncertainty for cross-border investments and intra-Asian lending. Companies reliant on international supply chains may face higher costs, delayed projects, and refinancing challenges, heightening credit risk for private lenders. Investors may adopt a more cautious stance, slowing capital deployment and affecting fundraising for private credit funds. Additionally, regulatory divergence and government interventions in response to geopolitical pressures can complicate deal execution. Overall, escalating geopolitical tensions may restrain market growth by increasing risk, reducing liquidity, and creating operational complexities for private credit participants.
