Personal & Household Goods Rental & Leasing in Europe industry analysis

Personal and household goods rental and leasing revenue is forecast to contract at a compound annual rate of 3.7% over the five years through 2024 to €23.9 billion, including an estimated drop of 0.3% in 2024. As technology and appliances become more affordable, consumers and businesses increasingly prefer owning rather than renting. The trend against rentals is robust in countries like Poland and Italy, which have the lowest EU prices on home appliances and electronics. However, the rental market remains viable for short-term needs such as those of international students, accounting for a significant portion of rentals in countries like Germany, France and the Netherlands.
