The BSFI is projected to contribute 14% of the total cumulative revenue of the ICT market from 2024 to 2029, according to GlobalData.
What Historical Data Entails
Analysis of the Philippines’ ICT market indicates that BFSI captured 18.48% of the market size in 2025 in terms of end-user industry vertical, while IT services held 27.42% in terms of product type.
As a whole, the domestic ICT market was said to be valued at USD 27.2 billion in 2025.
The Market Growth Trajectory
Local ICT market size is estimated to grow from USD 30.16 billion in 2026 to USD 50.53 billion by 2031, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.88%.
The hike will be led by IT services, specifically cloud computing and business process outsourcing (BPO) segments, overtaking other IT infrastructure segments of hardware and software.
“The BFSI sector in the Philippines is driving substantial growth in the ICT market through the adoption of advanced technologies and digital transformation initiatives,” said GlobalData technology analyst Samrat Volam.

Additionally, the government’s push for digital payments and the establishment of digital banking licenses and a unified QR code payments infrastructure is further accelerating this trend.”
BSFI’s position in the market is solidified by real-time payments and digital bank licenses, while providing a gateway for investments in fraud analytics, open-banking APIs, and blockchain remittances.
