Abstract: Supply chain finance (SCF) is still new to organisations, especially in developing nations. Practitioners and researchers have not fully explored SCF's short-term financial potential. Hence, to know the significance and trends of research in SCF, the present study attempts a systematic literature review published in some of the reputed international journals and provides a future research agenda. The study adopts a structured approach to collect the widespread literature. The present study reviews 216 papers from 19 reputed international journals from January 2015 to January 2024. The literature collected has been analysed using both qualitative and quantitative techniques. The content analysis of the most researched themes highlights that SCF helps firms streamline their financial flow and boosts their overall profitability, and a shortage of finance is the prime reason firms are shutting down their business. The study offers a comprehensive understanding of SCF concepts and advantages for supply chain participants.
