Global Debt Financing Market Size, Share, & COVID-19 Impact Analysis, By Sources (Public and Private), By Type (Bank Loans, Bonds, Debentures, and Bearer Bond), By Duration (Short-term and Long Term), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Debt financing is raising money for the company by selling debt instruments, such as bonds and debentures, and agreeing to pay back to the creditors with interest. Debt financing is provided by banks, financial institutions, and NBFCs in the form of secured and unsecured bonds and loans. Start-ups and small businesses use debt financing to expand their businesses and maintain ownership. Lenders make debts or loans available to businesses for a while and earn interest on loans provided. These lenders can be institutional or individual investors.

Debt financing includes government-subsidized loans, lines of credit, and peer-to-peer lending, which significantly helps small businesses to acquire capital with minimum risk. The debt financing market can be driven by tax-deductible debt interest costs, preserving corporate ownership, and low-interest rates. The main advantage of debt financing is that, unlike equity financing, the owner does not hand over control of the company.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Debt Financing Market

The COVID-19 pandemic affected the world and imposed contact restrictions, isolation and created disruptions in the banking and finance sectors. This factor lowered the prices of investment-grade corporate bonds, which reduced the banking profitability during the pandemic. The reduced interest rates have increased the demand for debt finance from small and medium-sized companies to improve the productivity of businesses.

Governments also used debt financing to fund public works, spur economic growth, and fill budget shortfalls. Small-sized companies opted for debt financing options for aggressive growth with low-interest rates. Therefore, the low cost finances, no dilution of ownership and tax deductions are the key factors expected to boost the demand for debt finance during the forecast period.
