As explained by analysts of the company, on the one hand, such a trend can be due to the greater awareness and confidence of investors in P2P lending. On the other hand, the growing demand for online loans in different countries expands the supply for investment. According to Statista, the global volume of P2P consumer lending market has grown from $9 bln in 2014 to $54 bln in 2018.

 

“The rising popularity of online loans is also confirmed by the data of lending companies represented on the P2P platform Robo.cash. Comparing results of 7 months of 2018 and 2019,  the volume of loans issued by the lenders of Robocash Group in the Philippines and Spain has increased significantly - 3.9 and 3.3 times, respectively.  Loan originators in Kazakhstan have shown a 30%-growth. Certainly, this expands investment opportunities, stimulating the existing users of Robo.cash to invest more and attracting new investors,” - commented Sergey Sedov, Chief Executive Officer of Robocash Group.
