The UK retail banking market, valued at approximately £68.77 billion in 2025, is projected to experience steady growth, driven by several key factors. The increasing adoption of digital banking solutions, including online platforms and mobile apps, is significantly impacting market dynamics. Consumers are increasingly demanding convenient and personalized financial services, prompting banks to invest heavily in technological upgrades and user-friendly interfaces. Furthermore, the rise of fintech companies is fostering competition and innovation, leading to the introduction of new products and services, such as mobile payment systems and personalized financial management tools. While Brexit initially presented challenges, the market has shown resilience, with banks adapting to new regulatory environments and focusing on strengthening customer relationships. The segment showing the strongest growth is likely online banking, driven by younger demographics' preference for digital interactions and increased smartphone penetration. However, the market also faces constraints such as increasing regulatory scrutiny, cybersecurity threats, and the need for continuous investment in technology to maintain a competitive edge. Growth in the wealth management segment will also contribute to the overall market expansion, fueled by a rising affluent population and increasing demand for sophisticated investment services. The continued expansion of the market is expected to be spread across multiple channels, reflecting the diverse preferences of UK consumers. The projected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 3.45% suggests a consistent, albeit moderate, expansion of the UK retail banking market over the forecast period (2025-2033). This growth is likely to be influenced by macroeconomic factors such as economic growth, inflation, and interest rates. The market's segmentation highlights the diverse nature of customer needs, with significant opportunities for banks to cater to specific demographics, such as high-net-worth individuals and small businesses. Strategic partnerships with fintech companies and the development of innovative financial products tailored to specific segments will play a crucial role in determining future market leaders.

Over the five years through 2024-25, the Financial Management industry's revenue is set to dip at a compound annual rate of 0.2% to £13.7 billion, caused by unfavourable demand conditions following the cost-of-living crisis and the COVID-19 outbreak. The pandemic damaged mergers and acquisitions, dropping from £55.6 billion in 2019 to £16.3 billion in 2020 according to the ONS. The cost-of-living crisis further reduced consumer spending, extending economic difficulties into winter 2023 and triggering a recession. These factors decreased business investments in financial management services as companies focused on cutting costs. Despite these obstacles, the industry maintained stability by offering countercyclical services, aiding businesses in efficient cost management while maintaining operations. Since the EU's 2016 Audit Regulation and Directive limited non-audit fees, financial managers have expanded client bases and explored new income sources to balance these caps. With a 2026 deadline to separate audits from non-audit services, pressure is high, particularly for top companies like the Big Four. Technological advancements are also enabling companies to perform tasks internally that were traditionally outsourced to consultants, tightening the market, especially for smaller clients. Intensified competition and decreased demand are driving the financial management sector towards greater innovation. Following a five-year downturn, business spending has begun to recover in 2024-25, driven by increased M&A activity. Business confidence reached an 11-month high in March 2024, according to S&P Global Flash UK PMI. With inflation cooling to 3.2% in March 2024 from 10.1% the previous year, more resources have been available for financial management and M&A efforts. Revenue is expected to grow by 4.9% in 2024-25. Over the five years through 2029-30, industry revenue is forecast to swell at a compound annual rate of 3.3% to reach £16.1 billion. Improving economic conditions and continued business confidence will push more businesses to increase their spending and invest in M&A activity, increasing demand for advice on managing their finances. In addition, continued low inflation will aid costs for both financial managers and their clients, bolstering profit.

Over the five years through 2024-25, UK banks' revenue is expected to climb at a compound annual rate of 1.7% to £128.6 billion, including an anticipated hike of 2% in 2024-25. After the financial crisis in 2007-08, low interest rates limited banks' interest in 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 such as Lloyds have shut the doors of many branches and made substantial job cuts. Following the COVID-19 outbreak, the Bank of England adopted aggressive tightening of monetary policy, hiking interest rates to rein in spiralling inflation. The higher base rate environment lifted borrowing costs, driving interest income for banks, who reported skyrocketing profits in 2023-24. Although profit grew markedly, pressure to pass on higher rates to savers and fierce competition weighed on net interest income at the tail end of the year, the difference between interest paid and interest received. UK banks are set to continue performing well in 2024-25 as the higher interest rate environment maintains healthy interest income, aiding revenue growth. However, net interest income is set to dip marginally due to higher deposit costs and narrow margins on mortgage loans. With further rate cuts priced into markets, savings rates will drop in 2024-25, stemming the drop in net interest income. Over the five years through 2029-30, industry revenue is forecast to swell at a compound annual rate of 3.3% to reach £151.1 billion. Regulatory restrictions, tougher stress tests and stringent lending criteria will also hamper revenue growth. Competition is set to remain fierce – both internally from lenders that deliver their services exclusively via digital channels and externally from alternative finance providers, like peer-to-peer lending platforms. The possibility of legislation like the Edinburgh reforms will drive investment and lending activity in the coming years, if introduced. However, concerns surrounding the repercussions of less stringent capital requirements and the already fragile nature of the UK financial system pose doubt as to whether any significant changes will be made.

The dataset supports an existing published research. The data includes the textual analysis variables used. Details of the variables and data collection process is reported in the published article. Abstract below:AbstractIn this study, I examine variations in the textual complexity of annual report narrative disclosures using the Fog Readability Index and Fin-Neg word list Tone Index given year and industry effects. I analyse accounting narrative Readability and Tone based on firm years, associations between the two narrative measures, and industry data. Tests of the relationship between Readability and Tone show that negative narratives have higher Readability scores, supporting the obfuscation hypothesis that bad news tends to be more difficult to read. A year analysis shows that the negative relationship between Readability and Tone increases in significance over time (2006–2011). An industry analysis shows that the observed obfuscation tends to persist in basic materials; consumer services; financial; technology; and utilities industries. This study shows that considering the effect of variations between industry and firm years can inform annual report textual complexity research and associated empirical analyses.

Companies in the Investment Banking industry provide financial advisory services, offering their insight on IPOs, M&As and equity and debt security underwriting activity. Competition has been fierce in recent years, with a flood of boutique firms entering the industry as bankers look for healthier rewards than those offered by the more regulated larger investment banks. Growing M&A and IPO activity before 2022-23 ramped up demand for investment banking services, although this momentum lost speed in 2022-23 as access to cheap capital ended. Revenue is expected to contract at a compound annual rate of 8.1% over the five years through 2025-26 to £8 billion, including an expected drop of 0.5% in 2025-26. Profit is also expected to edge downwards in 2025, though it remains high. Capital market activity surged at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, lifting demand for investment banking services as governments and large international businesses across the world raised capital to fund fiscal stimuli and maintain cash flow levels. The boom in debt and equity markets showed no sign of slowing the next year, with IPO and M&A activity reaching record levels in 2021-22, driving demand for investment bankers’ services. However, in the two years through 2023-24, M&A activity plummeted thanks to rising interest rates, mounting geopolitical tensions and a gloomy economic outlook, which put companies off from seeking takeovers. In 2024-25, M&A activity fared better than IPOs, welcoming improvements in consumer confidence amid interest rate cuts, aiding revenue growth. However, IPOs continued on their downward trajectory as geopolitical uncertainty and high interest rates resulted in many companies delaying listings. Over 2025-26, M&A activity is forecast to continue to climb, but IPO activity may stall as Trump's tariff announcements erode investor sentiment, weighing on revenue growth. Revenue is anticipated to grow at a compound annual rate of 4.5% over the five years through 2030-31 to £10 billion. Deal activity is set to build as lower interest rates make leveraged transactions more attractive. Competition will remain fierce, driving technological innovation as investment banks try to improve decision-making processes and scale operations through the use of AI. Still, strong competition from overseas exchanges, like the S&P 500 in the US, will dent UK IPO activity in the coming years as companies move away from UK listings and the lacklustre valuations they offer, weighing on revenue growth.

The accounting and auditing industry benefits from the wide range of businesses it serves and because many UK businesses need to have their financial accounts audited. During periods of economic growth, demand for accounting and auditing services picks up. During adverse economic conditions, revenue remains fairly stable thanks to demand for countercyclical services, like restructuring and cost-cutting advice. Despite economic hardships in recent years, revenue is expected to climb at a compound annual rate of 5% to £8.8 billion over the five years through 2024-25, including a projected growth of 6.6% in 2024-25. During the COVID-19 outbreak, accounting and auditing were not as affected since the outbreak lifted demand for some countercyclical services as businesses continued to seek audit solutions. However, revenue declined in 2020-21 due to a plunge in business confidence and reduced expenditure. Following a solid recovery in 2021-22, revenue has been on an upward trajectory over the three years through 2024-25, driven by rising fees to combat swelling costs as auditors contend with the inflationary environment, regulatory pressures and skill shortages. Alongside technology integration, rising consolidation activity and private equity investment are key trends affecting firms. The average industry profit margin has benefitted from soaring audit fees but has been constrained as the Financial Reporting Committee ratchets fines and clamps down on poor audit work alongside climbing wage costs. Over the five years through 2029-30, industry revenue is forecast to swell at a compound annual rate of 4.4% to £10.9 billion. Increasingly stringent regulations and severe skill shortages are here to stay, keeping audit fees high and supporting revenue growth. Subsiding inflation and improving business confidence will encourage business expenditure and M&A activity, boosting demand for accounting and audit services. Technological advances will allow some firms to take accounting services in-house, hitting demand. Considering the continued poor audit quality from some of the larger firms, the proposed new Audit, Reporting and Governance Authority will implement more stringent regulation in addition to potential audit reforms by the UK government. Higher regulation could help improve competition and reduce market share concentration, though it may also hoist firms’ costs, constraining profit growth.

The UK Financial Technology (FinTech) industry is highly fragmented and is expanding rapidly. In recent years, areas like peer-to-peer lending, money transfer and digital banks have performed well. Industry revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 19.8% over the five years through 2025-26 to reach £34.7 billion, including estimated growth of 12.1% in 2025-26. The industry relies heavily on third-party financing, which has proved highly volatile over recent years amid the higher base rate environment.

Government initiatives have identified the FinTech industry as an important area of future economic growth; in response, the government has put considerable effort into offering support to the industry. This has bolstered investment and facilitated industry expansion. Customers are increasingly seeing fintech as a viable alternative to traditional banks, offering more attractive savings rates and a user-friendly experience. FinTech companies welcomed the rising base rate environment, which has supported revenue growth over recent years. However, the turbulent economic conditions and threat of rising default rates have forced FinTechs to ramp up their loan loss provisions, weighing on profitability. Fintechs heavily rely in investment funds to scale up, and this has proved highly volatile in recent years, dropping in 2024 due to higher interest rates and geopolitical tensions. Going into 2025, funding activity will remain lacklustre as geopolitical tensions persist following Trump’s aggressive tariff policies. This will hit acquisition activity and force fintechs to find ways of growing organically. Industry revenue is forecast to rise at a compound annual rate of 12.4% over the five years through 2030-31 to reach £62.2 billion. Despite fundraising dropping over recent years, fintech companies will still have plenty of cash to invest and strengthen their long-term proposition to persuade customers to make them their primary bank, something a more attractive savings rate has failed to do. Competition will pick up in the coming years as traditional banks actively seek to maintain their customers, offering more fintech services like developing user-friendly apps or closing their branches.

The European auditing services market, valued at €65.91 billion in 2025, is projected to experience robust growth, driven by increasing regulatory scrutiny, heightened demand for transparency and accountability across industries, and the growing complexity of financial reporting. The market's Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.33% from 2025 to 2033 indicates a significant expansion, primarily fueled by the rising adoption of digital technologies within the audit process and the increasing demand for specialized services like operational audits, information system audits, and compliance audits.

The UK’s total loan balances outstanding (including credit card balances, personal loan balances, and residential mortgage balances outstanding) recorded a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.3% during 2014-18 to reach £1,626.6bn ($2,075.6bn). The majority of loan balances outstanding are from home loans, with residential mortgage balances outstanding accounting for 86.7% of total balances in 2018, followed by personal loans (8.8%) and credit cards (4.5%). However, uncertainty on account of Brexit and its impact on the economy will affect the growth of total loan balances outstanding in the coming years. As a result, we estimate total loan balances outstanding to record a subdued CAGR of 2.7% over 2019-23. The UK lending space is dominated by Lloyds Banking Group, Barclays, and RBS Group – a trend that is anticipated to continue over the coming years. However, they may face increased competition from non-bank lenders, digital banks, and digital lending platforms breaking into the market and offering low interest rates and hassle-free loan approvals.

Business Recovery Services Market Outlook

As of 2023, the global business recovery services market size is valued at approximately USD 15.3 billion, and it is projected to reach USD 27.8 billion by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. This market's growth is driven by increasing corporate insolvencies, heightened regulatory scrutiny, and the need for organizational resilience in the face of economic uncertainties.

One of the primary growth factors in this market is the rising incidence of financial distress among businesses due to volatile economic conditions. The global economic landscape has been punctuated by recurrent disruptions, from geopolitical tensions to unexpected events like the COVID-19 pandemic. These disruptions have underscored the importance of having robust recovery plans, thus driving demand for professional business recovery services. Companies are increasingly seeking expertise in navigating financial turbulence, restructuring debt, and ensuring continuity.

Another significant factor contributing to the market’s expansion is the growing regulatory complexities across various regions. Governments and regulatory bodies worldwide are tightening oversight on corporate compliance, necessitating businesses to adopt comprehensive recovery and restructuring strategies. This has particularly been observed in sectors like BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance), where stringent regulations demand meticulous financial reporting and accountability. The rising cost of non-compliance has made businesses more inclined to invest in specialized recovery services to mitigate risks and safeguard their operations.

Technological advancements are also playing a pivotal role in driving the market. The integration of digital tools such as AI and predictive analytics in business recovery processes is transforming how companies address insolvency and turnaround situations. By leveraging these technologies, recovery service providers can offer more precise and efficient solutions, thereby enhancing their value proposition to clients. Digital transformation initiatives have made it easier to identify potential risks early and implement preemptive measures, reducing the likelihood of severe financial fallout.

Regionally, North America holds the largest share in the business recovery services market, driven by the region's dynamic economic environment and high corporate activity. The United States, in particular, has a well-established market for business recovery services due to its robust financial sector and stringent regulatory framework. Europe is also a significant market, with increasing demand for restructuring services in countries like the UK and Germany. The Asia Pacific region is expected to witness the highest growth rate, propelled by rapid industrialization and the growing complexity of business operations across emerging economies such as China and India.
