DUBLIN, Nov. 09, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/rrfvkj/renttoown) has announced the addition of the "Rent-to-Own Retail: UK Market Profile and Forecast 2015" report to their offering.
This report covers the UK rent-to-own retail market, sometimes called rent-to-buy or hire purchase. It quantifies the market size, historical growth rates and levels of industry profitability while reviewing key factors behind these figures.
Rent-to-own is a fast-growing segment of retailing in the UK, expanding to take up some of the increasing degree of slack on the high street and also using the internet as a channel. These retailers are frequently criticised for imposing a combination of credit terms and insurances which leads to items being significantly more expensive than via other channels. However, for many consumers, they increasingly make it possible for them to obtain goods which would not otherwise be accessible. This report aims to explore these views. It also considers the factors which have driven the high rates of growth that the sector has experienced and sets our views on how likely it is to continue in the future.
It also includes an in-depth analysis of the relevant drivers of industry growth - in particular the macroeconomic environment and supplier trends - setting out historical trends and available forecasts - and regulatory framework. The forecast for industry growth is based on this analysis of historical trends and growth drivers.
It is intended for:
- Operators of rent-to-own retail businesses themselves
- Investors in these businesses
- Retail property-owners, developers and landlords
- Market regulators and policymakers
- Banks, analysts, consultants and other parties with interests in the sector
