Scope
- Creditor insurance market sizing, product penetration and competitor
premium income data
- In depth analysis of the underlying consumer credit market including
sizing for personal loans, credit cards, mortgages, retail and motor finance
- A discussion of the FSA' s work on the creditor market and the current
Competition Commission investigation
Report Highlights
Based on primary research with interviewees as well as secondary data,
Datamonitor has estimated the penetration rate of PPI on each main lending
product. Datamonitor estimates that the penetration rate of PPI is highest on
personal loans at 41 per cent followed by 26 per cent for mortgages and 19 per
cent for retail finance.
The most negative recommendation for the market would be for the full
de-linking of the product from the underlying credit purchase which could have
a significant negative impact on sales of creditor insurance.
Gross advances in the UK mortgage market are forecast to reach £357.2 billion
in 2007 and increase steadily thereafter to stand at £395.1 billion in 2011.
