Hong Kong Retail Banking Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis and Forecast 2021 – 2025
Powered by
All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.
The retail banking sector in Hong Kong has shown growth despite the recent impact of COVID-19. Residential mortgages and retail deposits recorded the highest compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) in the region, with the exception of China. Consumer credit lending showed a strong CAGR in personal loans, again only trailing the Chinese market. However, growth across credit cards was weaker as economic activity decreased due to the pandemic. The Hong Kong market has witnessed a triple threat over the last few years. Its economy entered a recession in 2017 as geopolitical forces such as the US-China trade war had effects on the territory. Domestic political instability compounded this uncertainty, and COVID-19 became the metaphorical cherry on top in 2020. The retail, tourism, hospitality, and transport sectors were all negatively impacted by the global decrease in travel as well as by regional travel bans and nationwide lockdowns. Overall, Hong Kong as a territory and a financial center has fared better during the pandemic than other markets – but a recent surge in cases has had significant effects on growth and recovery.
This report explores the key trends in the Hong Kong retail banking sector and offers insight into consumer preferences and changes in behavior regarding financial services providers. It also examines channel preferences and covers overall satisfaction and importance levels of the main banking attributes. In addition, the report analyzes cross-selling opportunities by looking at customer tenures and areas of dissatisfaction.
Scope

– Use of digital channels in Hong Kong has historically been high but has accelerated in the past 18 months due to COVID-19. As a result, for almost all banks in Hong Kong, branch usage has fallen compared to pre-pandemic levels.
– The most opportune moment to cross-sell to consumers in Hong Kong is when they have been customers for five or more years. Before this point rates of cross-selling are low.
