The lending market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The size of the lending market has seen substantial growth in recent years. The predictions suggest that it will rise from $11285.93 billion in 2024 to $12165.09 billion in 2025, showing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%.
The notable growth in the past can be credited to the robust economic surge in the developing markets, improved internet access, an elevation in consumer expenditure, an upswing in construction activities, and a rise in the count of auto loans.
The lending market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Expectations are high for robust expansion in the lending market size in the upcoming years. Predictions put its growth at $15985.39 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%.
This predicted growth in the specified duration is majorly attributed to pervasive blockchain utilization across disparate sectors and an increase in higher education. The forecast period is likely to observe significant trends, such as investments in technologies offering alternate lending services to enhance profit margins; adoption of digital technologies that speed up commercial loan approvals and accordingly improve customer satisfaction; increased focus on participatory lending to diminish risks and amplify profitability; investment in IaaS platforms to leverage their escalating popularity; and the integration of artificial intelligence in operational processes to improve cost and time efficiency.
The lending market is projected to be fuelled by an increase in the number of small businesses. Smaller businesses are privately-owned firms that maintain fewer employees and generate less income than larger companies. Lending, which involves granting loans to businesses whether they're in their initial stages or in the process of expansion, and to consumers, serves to stimulate new investments and propel economic demand. For instance, the US Small Business Administration (SBA), a US government office for small enterprises, reported in August 2022 that the number of small businesses in the US escalated to 33.2 million in 2022, an increment of 700,000 from the previous year, 2021. Consequently, the growth in the number of small businesses is contributing to the expansion of the lending market.
