Definition:

Marketplace Lending platforms offer private users the option to place requests for loans in an online marketplace to find private investors who would invest at an appropriate interest rate. These services apply a credit score and list the financial requests by intended purpose before fixing a lending rate. One or more investors can then serve the credit request. Although banks act in cooperation with the platform providers, the lending is done, in principle, without direct exposure, risk audits or the formal requirements normally associated with credit lending. This is attractive for many users because the processes are expedited, there is less demand when it comes of the borrower’s creditworthiness and the conditions are often more flexible than with traditional bank loans. Users are defined in this case as active borrowers on an online platform; applicants or investors who are only partially recorded as users are not included. The amount of outstanding, short-term installments or consumer loans recognized during the applicable year is used here as a benchmark.

Additional Information:

Key players in the market are Lending Club, Zopa, Auxmoney and Prosper.

    Analyst Opinion

    The Marketplace Lending (Consumer) market in Kazakhstan has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences and the emergence of new trends in the market. Customer preferences in the Marketplace Lending (Consumer) market in Kazakhstan have shifted towards digital platforms and online lending solutions.

    This can be attributed to the convenience and accessibility offered by these platforms, allowing customers to easily apply for loans and receive funds without the need to visit physical branches. Additionally, customers are increasingly looking for personalized and tailored loan products that meet their specific needs and financial situations. This has led to the rise of peer-to-peer lending platforms that connect borrowers directly with lenders, providing more flexibility and competitive interest rates.

    Trends in the Marketplace Lending (Consumer) market in Kazakhstan are also influenced by global and regional market developments. One notable trend is the adoption of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning in the lending process. These technologies enable lenders to analyze vast amounts of data and make more accurate credit assessments, reducing the risk of default and improving overall loan performance.

    Furthermore, there is a growing trend towards the integration of alternative data sources, such as social media profiles and online shopping behavior, to assess borrowers' creditworthiness. This allows lenders to reach a wider pool of potential borrowers who may have limited credit history but demonstrate responsible financial behavior in other aspects of their lives. Local special circumstances in Kazakhstan also play a role in shaping the Marketplace Lending (Consumer) market.

    The country has a relatively high level of internet penetration, with a large portion of the population having access to smartphones and the internet. This has facilitated the growth of online lending platforms, as customers can easily access and utilize these services. Additionally, the government of Kazakhstan has implemented initiatives to promote financial inclusion and support the development of the fintech sector, creating a favorable regulatory environment for marketplace lenders.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors, such as economic growth and stability, also contribute to the development of the Marketplace Lending (Consumer) market in Kazakhstan. A stable and growing economy provides a favorable environment for lending activities, as borrowers are more likely to have stable income and repayment capacity. Furthermore, low interest rates and favorable lending conditions encourage borrowing and stimulate demand for marketplace lending services.

    In conclusion, the Marketplace Lending (Consumer) market in Kazakhstan is experiencing growth due to changing customer preferences, adoption of new technologies, favorable local circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. The shift towards digital platforms, personalized loan products, and the integration of advanced technologies are driving the growth of the market, while favorable local circumstances and macroeconomic factors provide a conducive environment for marketplace lenders to operate.

    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.
