Tighter bank lending conditions are leading to increased demand for capital from companies, allowing APAC’s nascent private debt market to expand. APAC-based private debt AUM stands at $78bn as of December 2021 and has grown at an average rate of 29% over the past five years, faster than the global figure of 17% over the same period. The number of APAC-based investors has almost doubled in three years from 489 in 2018 to 925 in 2022. The largest increase has been in ASEAN where the figure has more than tripled in three years, although in actual terms, Japan still has the highest number of PD investors in APAC.
