World Factoring Yearbook 2026 marks 30th anniversary with comprehensive global industry analysis

BCR Publishing is proud to announce the release of the World Factoring Yearbook 2026, the landmark 30th edition of the industry’s leading global reference guide on factoring and receivables finance.

The Yearbook continues its long-standing tradition of delivering authoritative analysis, market intelligence, and expert commentary on developments across the global factoring industry. Widely regarded as the definitive annual resource for factors, banks, financial institutions, regulators, policymakers, academics, consultants, and technology providers, the 2026 edition provides an unparalleled overview of market activity and emerging trends worldwide.

This anniversary edition features 51 contributions, including 45 country market reviews and six specialist articles examining some of the most important issues shaping the future of receivables finance. New country participants include Albania, Jordan, Mongolia, North Macedonia, the Philippines, and Uzbekistan, while several markets return to the publication after previous absences, reflecting the Yearbook’s expanding global reach and influence.

The publication highlights continued growth across many factoring markets during 2025 despite ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, inflationary pressures, supply chain disruptions, evolving regulatory requirements, and market volatility. Detailed country reviews examine factoring turnover, market penetration, legal frameworks, and key industry developments, providing readers with valuable insights into both mature and emerging markets.

A major theme of the 2026 edition is the transformation of receivables finance through technology and innovation. Specialist articles explore topics including machine learning, fraud prevention, data quality, risk management, trade credit insurance, and the evolving role of digital infrastructure in supporting trade finance. A newly reintroduced roundtable discussion brings together international industry leaders to examine opportunities and challenges facing factoring markets across different regions.

For the first time, the Yearbook also includes a dedicated section on regulatory reporting, further strengthening its role as a comprehensive industry resource and reflecting the increasing importance of compliance and transparency within financial services.

As global factoring volumes continue to exceed EUR 4 trillion, the World Factoring Yearbook 2026 provides essential guidance for industry participants navigating an increasingly complex and interconnected business environment.

The World Factoring Yearbook 2026 is published by BCR Publishing in association with FCI and is available to industry professionals and organisations worldwide.
