The payday loans market size has grown strongly in recent years, projected to grow from $35.47 billion in 2023 to $35.47 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. This growth in the historic period can be attributed to an increase in financial instability, lack of access to traditional credit, economic downturns, high unemployment rates, regulatory changes, and the rise of digital lending platforms. Furthermore, the payday loans market size is expected to continue strong growth in the coming years, reaching $43.93 billion in 2028 at a CAGR of 5.5%. The anticipated growth during the forecast period can be linked to rising economic uncertainty, increasing unemployment rates, evolving consumer borrowing habits, regulatory changes, shifts in interest rates, and growing demand for short-term financial solutions. Major trends expected during this period include advancements in digital lending platforms, enhanced borrower education programs, integration of artificial intelligence for risk assessment, development of more flexible repayment options, and integration of alternative credit scoring.
Major Driver In The Payday Loans Market
The rise in the cost of living is anticipated to accelerate the growth of the payday loan market in the near future. The cost of living includes the total amount necessary to cover essential expenses such as housing, food, transportation, healthcare, and other daily necessities needed to maintain a specific standard of living in a particular area. This increase is largely attributed to rising housing prices, local taxes, and elevated costs associated with food, transportation, and healthcare, along with the overall economic climate in various regions. Individuals confronted with higher expenses may turn to short-term financial solutions, such as payday loans, to bridge the financial gap between paychecks or to manage unexpected costs. For instance, as of February 2024, the Office for National Statistics, a UK government department, reported that private rental prices in the UK rose by 6.2% annually. Hence, the escalation in the cost of living is propelling growth in the payday loan market through 2023, into 2024, and is expected to continue affecting the market positively by 2028.
