The global Decentralized Finance (DeFi) market is projected to surge from USD 20.5 billion in 2025 to USD 231.2 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 53.7%. The explosive growth is driven by the widespread adoption of blockchain-based lending, staking, and trading protocols, alongside Web3 wallet integration and tokenized asset ecosystems. DeFi’s momentum reflects a paradigm shift from centralized financial systems to autonomous, programmable financial infrastructure, offering transparency, accessibility, and yield optimization. Supported by Ethereum Layer-2 scaling, DeFi 2.0 liquidity models, and the rise of institutional DeFi, the sector is set to redefine global financial inclusion and capital efficiency by 2030.

The global insurance market, spanning life and non-life segments, is poised for steady growth between 2025 and 2030. Rising middle-class populations, digital distribution, regulatory modernization, and product innovation are driving penetration. By 2030, global premiums are expected to surpass USD 8 trillion, with non-life insurance outpacing life in growth due to health, motor, and cyber coverage demand. This report analyzes growth trends, segment shifts, regulatory impact, and competitive positioning.

AI-powered M&A platforms are transforming dealmaking in the U.S. and EU. By 2030, 40% of mid-to-large M&A transactions are expected to leverage predictive targeting, automated due diligence, and AI-driven synergy modeling. These platforms reduce diligence timelines by 30–40%, improve target precision by 25–35%, and enhance valuation accuracy by 15–20%. Between 2025 and 2035, adoption will accelerate as investment banks, private equity, and corporates seek efficiency, compliance, and competitive edge.

AI is redefining construction logistics through automation, predictive scheduling, and real-time fleet intelligence. Between 2025 and 2030, adoption of AI-enabled equipment and site logistics software across the U.S. and Middle East is expected to grow at a 28% CAGR, reaching $58B in market value. Autonomous heavy equipment, digital twins, and AI-led inventory routing are cutting idle time by 30–40%, reshaping project timelines and cost structures across infrastructure and industrial projects.

The U.K. motor insurance market is entering 2025 with elevated cost pressures but clearer digital tailwinds. After significant pricing volatility through 2023–24 when average premiums spiked and then eased carriers still face historically high repair and bodily injury costs, supply‑chain delays, and EV‑related repair complexity. Against this backdrop, premium volume is set to grow at a modest 4–5.5% CAGR over 2025–2030, taking the market from roughly USD 24 billion in 2024 to USD 32–35 billion by 2030. The growth mix is expected to be led by renewal pricing, incremental new‑business in digital channels, usage‑based insurance (UBI) expansion, and a gradual rise in commercial motor demand as fleets electrify. Profitability remains the central challenge. Combined ratios improved in 2024 after a difficult 2023, but continuing claims inflation especially in parts, labour and hire‑car costs keeps risk on the upside. EV severity remains structurally higher due to battery diagnostics, ADAS calibration and repair network constraints. At the same time, price‑sensitive customers and tighter ‘fair value’ expectations constrain the ability to pass through costs. Winning strategies emphasise: (1) advanced claims analytics and supplier‑network optimisation to control severity; (2) telematics‑driven pricing and proactive driver engagement to reduce frequency; (3) digital self‑service and straight‑through processing to compress expense ratios; and (4) portfolio re‑mix toward segments with better economics (fleets, UBI, embedded/partner channels).

The fixed income market across the U.S. and EU is entering a phase of yield normalization, structural diversification, and digitalization. Between 2025 and 2030, total outstanding debt securities are expected to grow from $135 trillion to over $175 trillion globally, with the U.S. and EU representing 65% of issuance. Rising green and private credit instruments are reshaping investor strategies as central banks stabilize policy rates near 2.5–3%

From 2025 to 2030, the dental insurance market in the U.S. and Europe is expected to grow substantially, reaching $60 billion by 2025 and expanding at an annual growth rate of 5.4%. This growth is fueled by rising healthcare costs, greater consumer awareness, and increasing demand for diverse dental coverage, including a shift to comprehensive and preventive care-focused plans. As consumer preferences evolve, insurers will face challenges in meeting needs while balancing premium increases and expanding coverage options across both regions.

From 2025 to 2030, industrial B2B commerce in the US and Europe will be reshaped by embedded finance that integrates credit, payments, and risk assessment directly into procurement and ERP systems. This shift will replace manual checks with instant underwriting and milestone-based payments, expanding embedded finance volumes to nearly $285 billion in the US and $260 billion in Europe. Growth will be driven by supply-chain resilience, real-time data from open banking and logistics telemetry, and marketplace digitization. While Europe benefits from PSD2/3 frameworks, the US leverages card-based hybrids and real‑time payments toward the same API‑driven financing future.
