Report Description

According to PayNXT360, alternative lending market in the country is expected to grow by 24.9% on annual basis to reach US$49,956.3 million in 2023.

Medium to long term growth story of alternative lending in United Kingdom remains strong. Alternative lending adoption is expected to grow steadily over the forecast period, recording a CAGR of 18.3% during 2023-2027. The alternative lending market in the country will increase from US$39,989.7 million in 2022 to reach US$98,006.0 million by 2027.

The alternative lending market is growing at a rapid rate in the United Kingdom. Driven by higher interest rates and an inflationary environment, the sector is poised to record further growth in 2023. As a result, challenger banks and digital lenders are expected to experience a surge in their total loan disbursals in the United Kingdom over the next few quarters.

Amid the booming alternative lending space, digital lending marketplaces are also upgrading their platform and adding new products to serve a wider range of consumers and businesses in the United Kingdom. From the short to medium-term perspective, PayNXT360 also expects foreign players in the alternative lending segment to expand their footprint in the United Kingdom market. This will further aid innovation, competitive landscape, and market growth over the next five years.

Challenger banks and digital lenders are recording strong growth amid the current macroeconomic environment

With inflation soaring and the subsequent surge in the cost of living, consumers are finding it difficult to fund their purchases and daily living expenses in the United Kingdom. The Office for National Statistics reports that there has been a significant increase in the prices of food and non-alcoholic beverages over the past 12 months leading up to March 2023. These factors have resulted in a high-growth environment for alternative lending platforms.
• Freedom Finance, one of the leading digital consumer lending platforms, revealed that loans requested on the platform from online lenders surged by 9% in 2022 when compared to the year before. The firm also revealed that the demand on its platform has increased 50% as of April 2023, compared to the same period in 2022. Much of the demand is coming from new users with higher incomes.

Freedom Finance also announced that digital lenders and challenger banks have increased their unsecured personal lending to consumers by more than ?1.5 billion in 2022. This represents a 34% growth year over year. From the short to medium-term perspective, PayNXT360 expects further growth in loan disbursals, thereby aiding the growth of the alternative lending market in the United Kingdom.

Global lending automation platforms are expanding their presence into the United Kingdom market

With the alternative lending industry poised to grow rapidly over the next five years in the United Kingdom, global lending automation platforms are eyeing the European market to accelerate their growth in the segment.
• In November 2022, Turnkey Lender, the United States-based lending automation platform, announced that the firm is expanding in the United Kingdom and Ireland markets. The automation platform is used by traditional, embedded, and alternative creditors and now lending businesses in the United Kingdom will also benefit from the AI-driven platform.
From the short to medium-term perspective, PayNXT360 expects more global players in the segment to extend their platform and service offerings for businesses and consumers in the United Kingdom. This will keep aiding the growth of the alternative lending industry over the next three to four years.

Firms are forging institutional deals to fund loans to small and medium-sized housing developers

With access to traditional credit becoming difficult and expensive amid the current macroeconomic environment, small and medium-sized businesses are turning to alternative lending providers in the United Kingdom. To fund loans to these businesses, firms are forging institutional deals.
• Crowd Property, an online property lending platform in the United Kingdom, announced that the firm had secured ?15 million in a funding line from British Business Investments in April 2023. The funding line is aimed at supporting housebuilding activities in the United Kingdom. The firm is planning to utilize the capital to fund loans to small and medium-sized housing developers. In another deal, in April 2023, the firm further secured a funding partnership with an unnamed bank in the United Kingdom.

These collaborations with leading financial institutions reaffirm the potential growth opportunity in the alternative lending market from the short to medium-term perspective. Going forward, PayNXT360 expects more online lending platforms to raise funding rounds in the United Kingdom. This will subsequently drive the loan disbursal growth while aiding the growth of the overall market from the short to medium-term perspective.
