BASINGSTOKE, United Kingdom, Sept. 29, 2025by global tech strategists Juniper Researchhas revealed that total spending on third-party Anti-money Laundering (AML) systems will grow by 121% by 2030; up from $33.9 billion in 2025. The report identified gaps in transaction monitoring and beneficial ownership transparency as two key vulnerabilities driving spend.
"With increasingly complex regulatory regimes, firms are turning to AI-driven screening and analytics to strengthen detection while addressing high false-positive rates. The report found that banks will account for 64% of AML spending by 2030, spurred by sustained exposure to regulatory oversight," explained Shane O'Sullivan, Research Analyst at Juniper Research.
Leaders Revealed in the New CompetitorLeaderboard

The top 3 vendors for 2025 are:
- LexisNexis Risk Solutions
- Oracle
- Experian
Juniper Research found that leading AML vendors are increasingly expanding their scope of offerings to optimally suit a range of business requirements. These include real-time data integration, transaction monitoring for cryptocurrencies and blockchain activity, cloud-based, API-first solutions for scalability, and explainable AI for regulatory compliance.
