Growth factors
The rates of growth to date are attributed to strong emerging markets, demand from the aerospace and defence industry, a rise in consumer awareness, growth in the used cars market, growth in residential construction activity and increased internet penetration.
In the years to come, global population growth, increased urbanisation, the growing popularity of electric vehicles, the emergence of start-ups, the growing healthcare industry, increasing infrastructure spending and the development of mega infrastructure projects will drive the growth.
Factors that could hinder the growth of the leasing market in the future include the growing popularity of on-demand taxi services, a reduction in free trade and a shortage of skilled workforce, the company said.
