WHITE CLARKE GROUP
You will find the latest auditable data on volume and growth by
region, market penetration, GDP ratios and market shares, complete
with a ranking of the top 50 leasing markets by size worldwide.
For the fifth consecutive year since the global economic Brendan Gleeson, Group CEO,
crisis, the leasing industry has expanded, with the top 50 White Clarke Group
leasing markets growing new business volume by 6.5%, from
US$994.31bn in 2014 to more than US$1trillion in 2015. Three
regions, North America, Europe and Asia, account for more
than 90% of total world volume.
The outlook for all six regions looks cautiously optimistic given
the reported growth in most regions. However, the year 2016 has
brought some significant economic and political events, namely
Brexit and the election of Donald Trump to the US Presidency.
Both events have short term turbulence upon the global FX and
stock markets. It is too early to assess how these events may
impact upon the economies of the world and the global leasing
industry in the medium term, but there may be some resulting
economic instability in 2017.
