Profiles of Multinational Consumer Credit Providers

IHS Global Insight’s Profiles of Multinational Consumer Credit Providers is the only report that provides company profiles relating marketing analysis to financial performance across multiple countries. The study compiles key individual company summaries, including detailed analyses of their marketing approaches, financial performances, and benchmark assessments relative to direct competitors.

Profiles of Multinational Consumer Credit Providers enable analysts and strategy managers within large retail-lending institutions to better decipher the continuously changing consumer credit industry with a view to fine-tuning their marketing and investment decisions.

The study serves as a powerful tool for:

• Understanding the marketing mix of key players in the European consumer finance industry and the mix’s relationship to their financial performances
• Benchmarking your marketing strategies and financial data in relation to your competitors
• Assessing the impact of current market changes, such as companies exiting the industry as well as mergers and acquisitions
• Determining the appropriate marketing strategy for your local market in Europe
• Making critical investment decisions

Survey of Households Repaying Multiple Debt

European households face rising interest rates, decreasing real estate wealth, and inflationary pressures on purchase power. Survey of Households Repaying Multiple Debts offers invaluable insights into the behavior, arbitrations, and expectations of customers with several sources of debt—consumer loan or mortgage—in five European countries: France, Germany, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom.

An essential read for financial services marketing professionals who need to understand changing client attitudes, the report addresses these key questions:

• How does the changing economic environment affect the financial stress in households with multiple debts?
• What are the financial goals of these households in terms of debt, consumption, and savings?
• How do these households effectively manage their loans?
• How can financial services efficiently market new loans in the current economic environment: determinant product characteristics, effective sales pitches, or preferred subscription channels?

Recent Trends and Prospects of Assistance Markets in Europe is the only one-stop report that provides detailed market sizing for the five largest Western European markets—France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom—across four key segments of assistance companies: automotive, travel, health, and home/household.

• Monitor turnover and market share of 10-to-15 key competitors in each country, also broken down into the four segments
