Most consumer debt is carried by developed market consumers
Globally, consumer lending debt stood at US$37.3 trillion in 2013. North America was the largest consumer lending market in terms of debt in 2013, with an outstanding balance of US$14.5 trillion, followed by Western Europe.
Card lending extends lead over mortgages in terms of new loan issuance
Gross mortgage lending as a share of consumer lending has steadily fallen from its high in 2003 as the mortgage industry collapsed. In 2010, card lending surpassed mortgages as the top lending type and has since expanded its lead.
Card lending opens door to credit for many emerging consumers
The arrival of financial cards to emerging markets not only gave many consumers a new way to pay, but it also gave them easy access to credit. Consumers could now more easily pay at a later date for a purchase. Of course, this newfound access to credit came with its own set of challenges.
Latin America embraces card lending
Three Latin American countries ranked in the top 10 for the fastest growth in card lending debt since 2008. In addition, out of the top 15 markets with the greatest reliance on card lending as of 2013, four are Latin American markets.
Scandinavians are more indebted than any part of the world
Three of the top markets worldwide for the highest level of indebtedness are in Scandinavia, which includes Denmark, Norway and Sweden. When taken together, the debt in the three markets stood at 190% of income as of 2013.
North America expected to remain top market for outstanding balance
North America is projected to remain the largest consumer lending region in terms of debt, with an outstanding balance of US$17.2 trillion in 2018, followed by Western Europe.
European debt crisis continues to inhibit consumer lending growth
The continued economic stagnation in Europe coming on the heels of the European debt crisis continues to hurt future consumer credit growth prospects in those markets.
