The growing demand for large loans is anticipated to drive the expansion of the syndicated loan market. Large loans are substantial amounts borrowed by individuals or organizations for major investments or projects. This rising demand is fueled by increasing business expansions and significant investments in infrastructure and real estate. Syndicated loans address this demand by pooling resources from multiple lenders, thereby distributing risk and providing significant capital to borrowers. For example, in March 2024, British Business Bank plc reported that gross flows of new business loans increased from $75.01 billion (£57.7 billion) in 2021 to $75.776 billion (£59.2 billion) in 2023, reflecting a $1.92 billion (£1.5 billion) rise over two years. Consequently, the heightened demand for large loans is boosting the syndicated loan market.

Syndicated loans are loans provided by a group of lenders, known as a syndicate, that collectively offer funds to a single borrower. This method distributes the risk among multiple financial institutions, enabling the provision of large amounts of funding that might exceed the capacity of any single lender. Syndicated loans are commonly used for major corporate financing needs, such as mergers and acquisitions, significant capital expenditures, or refinancing existing debt.

The primary types of syndicated loans include term loans, revolving loans, underwritten transactions, and others. A term loan is a fixed sum of money borrowed from a lender, repaid in regular installments over a specified period, typically with a fixed or variable interest rate. Uses for the proceeds of syndicated loans include working capital, acquisition financing, project finance, and more. These loans are applied across various industry sectors, including financial services, energy and power, high technology, industrials, consumer products and services, and others.
