Analyst Opinion

The Marketplace Lending (Consumer) market in Hungary has witnessed significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences and favorable local special circumstances. Customer preferences in Hungary have shifted towards online and digital platforms, with consumers increasingly seeking convenience and ease of access.

This has led to the rise of marketplace lending platforms, which offer borrowers a quick and efficient way to access loans without the need for traditional banks. The convenience of online platforms, combined with competitive interest rates and flexible repayment options, has made marketplace lending an attractive option for consumers in Hungary. In addition to customer preferences, there are several trends in the marketplace lending market in Hungary that have contributed to its growth.

One trend is the increasing number of marketplace lending platforms entering the market. This has created a more competitive landscape, with platforms vying for borrowers by offering lower interest rates and better terms. As a result, borrowers in Hungary have more options to choose from, leading to increased adoption of marketplace lending.

Another trend in the marketplace lending market in Hungary is the growing popularity of peer-to-peer lending. Peer-to-peer lending platforms connect borrowers directly with individual investors, bypassing traditional financial intermediaries. This has allowed borrowers to access loans at lower interest rates, while investors can earn higher returns on their investments.

The transparency and efficiency of peer-to-peer lending platforms have resonated with consumers in Hungary, contributing to the growth of the market. Local special circumstances have also played a role in the development of the marketplace lending market in Hungary. The country has a well-established banking sector, but traditional banks have been slow to adopt digital technologies and offer online lending services.

This has created an opportunity for marketplace lending platforms to fill the gap and cater to the needs of tech-savvy consumers. The lack of competition from traditional banks has given marketplace lending platforms a competitive advantage, driving their growth in the market. Underlying macroeconomic factors have also contributed to the development of the marketplace lending market in Hungary.

The country has experienced steady economic growth in recent years, with low unemployment rates and increasing disposable income. This has created a favorable environment for borrowing, as consumers have the financial means to repay their loans. Additionally, low interest rates set by the central bank have made borrowing more affordable, further driving the demand for marketplace lending in Hungary.

In conclusion, the Marketplace Lending (Consumer) market in Hungary has experienced significant growth due to changing customer preferences, favorable local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. The convenience and ease of access offered by marketplace lending platforms, combined with competitive interest rates and flexible repayment options, have made them an attractive alternative to traditional banks. The increasing number of marketplace lending platforms and the growing popularity of peer-to-peer lending have further fueled the growth of the market.

With a well-established banking sector that has been slow to adopt digital technologies, marketplace lending platforms have found a niche in Hungary and are poised for continued growth in the future.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on transaction values / revenues / assets under management and user data of relevant services and products offered within the FinTech market.

Modeling approach / Market size:

Market sizes are determined through a combined top-down and bottom-up approach, building on a specific rationale for each market segment. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of key players, industry reports, third-party reports, publicly available databases, and survey results from primary research (e.g., the Statista Global Consumer Survey). In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, consumer spending, population, internet penetration, smartphone penetration, credit card penetration, and online banking penetration. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

Forecasts:

In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing are well suited for forecasting digital products and services due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption.

Additional notes:

The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war is considered at a country-specific level.
