Over the five years through 2024-25, UK banks' revenue is expected to climb at a compound annual rate of 2.3% to £132.5 billion, including anticipated hike of 6% in 2023-24. Low interest rates after the financial crisis limited the interest earned by banks from loans, hitting income. At the same time, a stricter regulatory environment, including increased capital requirements introduced under the Basel III banking reforms and ring-fencing regulations, constricted lending activity. To protect their profitability, banks have shut the doors of lots of branches and made substantial job cuts.
Industry revenue has grown at a CAGR of 2.3 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated £132.5bn in 2024.
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
