Peer-to-Peer Lending Platforms in the US

Peer-to-peer (P2P) lenders' revenue has been dropping at an annualized 0.2% over the past five years, including an estimated 25.3% increase in the current year, and is expected to total $1.5 billion in 2023, with profit set to reach negative 0.4%. Pioneered and introduced in the United Kingdom in 2005, P2P lending platforms facilitate loans from individual investors that pool their money via operators' online platforms to loan money to consumers and small businesses. The industry's competitive advantage lies in its proprietary credit evaluation algorithms, which go beyond FICO credit scores used by traditional lending institutions

Companies in this industry provide peer-to-peer lending, which occurs directly between individuals and organizations without the direct intermediation of a traditional financial institution. In this industry, individuals and organizations pool their money to support the efforts of borrowers, while generating a rate of return for themselves. Crowdfunded fundraising, where collective money supports others with financial donations and without planned repayment, is not part of this industry.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares."
