The Pawnshop Industry in Philippines will continue to grow at a remarkable pace in the coming years with minimal transaction costs on the part of borrower, easy and quick availability of loan and higher accessibility of pawnshops even under the remote areas of the country. It has been estimated that the market will grow at a CAGR of ~% and is expected to cross PHP 120 billion by 2020 in terms of loan disbursed and PHP 180 billion by 2020 in terms of the total volume of domestic remittance transactions conducted through the pawnshops. The major companies in the market will continue to prosper with expanding their physical network and partnering with different institutions to compete against other pawnshops. Lack of credit facilities, lower credit card penetration and incomplete credit histories has prompted the borrowers to resort to the pawnshops since they require just a valid identity proof and collateral to provide the credit.
As of September 2015, 28,264 financial institutions were regulated by the central bank. The number of pawnshops augmented at a CAGR of 2.2% from 2010. The broader reach of pawnshops has been fundamentally attributed to the ease of establishment. In contrast to a bank, a pawnshop requires limited space, fewer staff, and requires much less capital, where it is mandatory for each pawnshop branch to have a capital of just PHP ~, as stated by BSP
Filipinos employed in the BPO sector, call centers in particular, have been a major growth driver of the domestic remittance market in Philippines over the past five years. Since majority of the call centers are located in urban regions such as the NCR, with manila being the hub, a significant proportion of Filipinos migrate to these areas in search of employment in BPO companies. Moreover the pawnshops have the widest reach in the country out of all other remittance centres. This directly translates into a significant demand for money remittance services to the pawnshops as these people opt for such services to send money to their families who are in far off areas where only pawnshops have access to.
However, there are certain market challenges that are faced by the pawnshops. One of the biggest challenges faced by the pawnshops is the threat of robbery or burglary. This has been the most concerning problem for the pawnshops since many years.
