What is the outlook for sukuk in 2024?

The global sukuk market size reached US$ 1,063.3 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 3,619.3 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 14.1% during 2024-2032.

Factors Affecting the Growth of the Sukuk Industry:

  • Infrastructure Investment Needs:

The rising demand for infrastructure development, particularly in emerging economies and growing markets, is a significant catalyst for the issuance of sukuk, which is an Islamic financial certificate like bonds. These regions face substantial challenges in financing the expansion or upgrading of their infrastructure, which is crucial for economic development and societal progress. Sukuk is an ideal solution, aligning with Islamic finance principles, which prohibit interest and promote asset-backed financing and risk-sharing. Also, utilizing sukuk to fund infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, hospitals, and schools offers a tangible investment that yields returns and also contributes to the public good, resonating with the ethical investment criteria valued in Islamic finance.

  • Various Innovation:

Innovations in sukuk structures and offerings are pivotal in broadening the market's horizon and attracting numerous investors and issuers. As the financial market evolves, so does the spectrum of sukuk products, encompassing variations such as green sukuk, which are designated for financing environmentally sustainable projects, and social impact sukuk, aimed at projects with significant positive social outcomes. These innovations are financial tools and are reflections of a growing consciousness toward responsible investing and the global shift toward sustainability. For instance, green sukuk represents a convergence of Islamic finance principles with global environmental goals, offering a Sharia-compliant investment avenue to fund renewable energy projects, green buildings, and sustainable water management systems.

  • Finance Awareness and Education:

The expansion of the sukuk market is linked to the level of awareness and understanding of Islamic finance principles among investors, issuaries, and the general public. Additionally, education and awareness campaigns are essential in demystifying Islamic finance, highlighting its ethical foundations, risk-sharing features, and the potential for socio-economic development. As more individuals gain insight into the workings and benefits of Islamic financial products, the appeal of sukuk as an investment vehicle is likely to grow. Besides this, educational initiatives can bridge the knowledge gap, fostering a more informed investor base that appreciates the value proposition offered by sukuk, including their ethical investment criteria, potential for stable returns, and the promotion of financial inclusion and economic development.
