Peer-to-Peer Lending Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Type (Business Lending and Consumer Lending), Business Model (Traditional Lending, Marketplace Lending and Other Business Models), End User and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Peer-to-Peer Lending Market is accounted for $155.1 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $809.7 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 31.7% during the forecast period. Peer-to-peer lending, commonly known as P2P lending, is the practise of extending credit to organisations or people using internet platforms that connect lenders and borrowers. The financial institution is no longer necessary as a middleman. P2P lending has made it possible for investors to receive greater returns on their capital by distributing the risk. P2P lending significantly contributes to the economic growth of many nations since it offers small and medium-sized enterprises affordable loans and more credit.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Availability of borrowers' access to lower interest rates

Peer-to-peer lending companies have offered essential funding options by offering small and medium-sized enterprises quick loans at affordable interest rates. This is complemented with an exceptional user experience for both investors and borrowers. The market is projected to draw more clients in the near future because it is still in its infancy and has little competition. As a result, these elements are anticipated to fuel market expansion throughout the course of the projected period.

Restraint:

Risks concerning lending and credit

Peer-to-peer lending companies often don't lend their own money, which puts the investors at great risk. As a result, investors run the risk of losing everything if borrowers don't make their loan payments on time. This risk increases progressively as the investor expects to see relatively significant returns on their investment. Peer-to-peer lending companies also assert and evaluate borrowers' creditworthiness and capacity to repay the loan based on a variety of parameters. All of these ratings, nevertheless, are unreliable and do not match those offered by an independent credit rating organisation. Therefore, it is anticipated that these issues would restrict market growth in the near future.

Opportunity:

Government-sponsored regulatory measures those are favourable

The governments of the United Kingdom and Europe are assisting peer-to-peer lending platforms by offering a proper and focused framework that fosters sector growth and guarantees to protect lenders from any possible danger. For instance, the U.K. regulatory organisation Financial Conduct Authority has created and implemented laws specifically for the peer-to-peer lending sector, which address the risks and other fundamental characteristics of this sector. Additionally, the peer-to-peer lending business has received substantial backing from the French government and it also offers back-office assistance and information about significant business activity.

Threat:

The banks' propensity to lend again

Peer-to-peer lenders have benefited greatly from the general reluctance of banks and other traditional lenders to give money to small and medium-sized enterprises. Peer-to-peer lenders would have difficulties if banks and other traditional lenders resumed their propensity for financing in these sectors. Additionally, traditional savings plans of all kinds have recently had difficulty offering high interest rates. Peer-to-peer lending businesses may find it difficult to attract investors' attention if interest rates on savings increase again. Therefore, throughout the anticipated period, these issues are anticipated to hinder the expansion of the worldwide peer-to-peer lending market.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 epidemic has a favourable effect on the expansion of the worldwide peer-to-peer (P2P) lending economy. There were enough operational and financial issues with the large corporations and organisations. Peer-to-peer (P2P) lending systems assist these businesses in raising money for operations.

The consumer lending segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

Peer-to-peer (P2P) financing demand is being driven by an increase in small and medium-sized businesses (SME) and new businesses globally.

The student loan segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The student loan segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to the type of loan that helps students pay for post-secondary education and related costs like coaching and tuition, books, and supplies is a student loan. The need for student loans is increasing since there are more students in the world. Consumer credit loans are becoming more widely used and accepted by both individuals and businesses seeking funding. Over the anticipated term, this aspect will contribute to the market for peer-to-peer (P2P) lending growing.

Region with highest share:

The rise in demand from retail investors for peer-to-peer lending applications because of the better returns compared to established financial institutions.
