The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including the increasing volume of financial transactions, the imposition of stringent regulatory compliance requirements, the globalization of banking operations, a rise in financial crimes, the growing need for risk management, and heightened concerns related to cybersecurity.

The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to a heightened focus on customer due diligence, improvements in sanctions screening, the expanding influence of cryptocurrencies, risks associated with mobile payments, and the implementation of real-time transaction monitoring.

The increasing number of money laundering cases is expected to propel the anti-money laundering software market. Money laundering is the process of converting illegally obtained funds into legal funds. Due to the increasing number of money laundering cases, there is a rise in the adoption of anti-money laundering software applications to ensure the legal requirements of organizations for detecting and preventing financial crimes. For instance, in March 2021, according to a report from TransUnion, a US-based consumer credit reporting agency, fraudulent digital transaction attempts against businesses worldwide increased by 46% compared to 2019. Furthermore, TransUnion reported a 21% increase in phishing attacks among consumers globally targeted with COVID-19-related digital frauds as of November 2020. Therefore, the increasing number of fraudulent activities and rise in money laundering cases will drive the growth of the anti-money laundering software market.

The increase in cyber-security threats is expected to propel the growth of anti-money laundering software market going forward. The growth is driven by factors such as increased financial crimes, risks associated with digital transactions, phishing attacks, and online fraud. AML software plays a crucial role in monitoring and detecting suspicious patterns in digital transactions, addressing the complexities of money laundering through digital channels. Additionally, technological advances in AML solutions, cross-border transaction monitoring, regulatory compliance requirements, and the prevention of data breaches contribute to the market's expansion. For instance, in February 2023, according to the Australian Cyber Security Centre, an Australia-based cyber security agency, the cybercrime reports received in 2022 were 76,000, an increase of nearly 13% from the previous financial year. Therefore, the increase in cyber-security threats is driving the growth of anti-money laundering software market.
