Lending Global Market Forecast To 2022

Western Europe was the largest region in the global lending market, accounting for 33% of the market in 2018. Asia Pacific was the second largest region accounting for 27% of the global lending market. Africa was the smallest region in the global lending market.

Online lending is growing across the world. This is primarily due to emergence of nonbank online lenders, who are particularly attractive to smaller businesses which need quick loans. Online lenders use automated network and data to reach borrowers, and offer cheaper loans than bank services such as credit cards. This has increased the competition among banks, leading to reduced rates and quicker approval times for borrowers. Some of the major online lenders include Upstart, Lu.com, Borrowell, Landbay, Auxmoney, Smava and Dianrong.
