APAC Private Credit 2027 Market to Hit USD92bn Amid Wealth and Institutional Inflows

APAC private credit 2027 is projected to reach USD92bn, up from USD59bn in 2024, reflecting a 16% annual growth rate, according to a report by AIMA/ACC, Simmons & Simmons, EY, and Broadridge. Growth is driven by institutional and high-net-worth investors seeking yield and exposure to semi-liquid private markets via platforms like Endowus. Wealth inflows and digital distribution are expanding across Asia, while Australia leads in new credit vehicles. Despite global fundraising of USD70bn as of July, defaults remain modest at 5.4%, comparable to syndicated loans. AIMA’s Kher Sheng Lee said structural demand persists, especially in infrastructure, where Asia faces an estimated USD1.7tr annual financing gap.
