The Government gave the following data in February 2011 in response to a PQ on the payday loans market: [BIS] collects information from the YouGov Debt Track survey on the number and proportion of people both using payday loans and those that have applied for payday loans in the last six months. In October 2010, the most recent survey, it was estimated that less than 1% of the population currently had a payday loan and that approximately 0.5% had applied for a payday loan in the previous six months. [...] Consumer Focus reviewed the payday loan market in 2010. They estimated that around 1.2 million adults took out a payday loan in 2009. They estimated the size of the market at £1.2 billion with each payday loan being worth on average £292.1 The growth in the number of loans has been very rapid. The Consumer Focus report, Keeping the Plates Spinning, estimated that the number of payday loan borrowers in 2006 was only 300,000 which rose to 1.2 million in 2009.
sector has ballooned since 2008, when the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) estimated it to be worth around £900 million.

The Group's total assets have surpassed £100 million for the first time as of end April 2014 and anticipate that this figure will be maintained and exceeded for the remainder of the year. This is the highest figure in the history of the Group and marks a significant milestone in our continued growth. The outlook remains extremely promising and we expect to report a marked uplift in profit for the first six months of 2014 in relation to the comparable period last year.

"stanleykirk" wrote a comment on that article from the FT Advisor.What this person wrote is below, furthermore it seems to give an insightful illustration by comparing the finance services to the supermarkets when they first arrived. "captured the customers from thousands of corner shops ".However ,what I find even more interesting is the comment "told the manufacturers how much they were prepared to pay" -Supermarket chains have that controlling power today, I wonder if Tavistock investments will have increased control in the finance sector? "I suspect that it has much more to do with the huge value disparity between manufacturing (ie the providers) and distribution (ie advisers). In no other industry is distribution valued at such a low price. The analogy is often drawn with groceries where, 50 years ago, there was a similar disparity, before supermarkets came along and captured the customers from thousands of corner shops and told the manufacturers how much they were prepared to pay. Technology, particularly platforms, now makes the same possible in controlling the investment requirements of thousands of small customers."

Despite continuing issues relating to overcapacity and significant cost pressures throughout the global steel production sector, total global demand for steel continues to increase, resulting in increased demand for metallurgical quality coal (including anthracite). However, the metallurgical coal market is also facing a low point with oversupply resulting in lower prices. Longer-term, these fundamentals suggest that prices have reached, or are close to reaching, the bottom of the market. Prices have yet to make a strong and sustained recovery. In March 2014, Goldman Sachs cut its metallurgical coal price estimate for this coming year to US$141 per metric ton from US$150 and lowered projections for next year and 2016, citing oversupply and sluggish Chinese demand growth. On the other hand, the global steel industry is expected to make a recovery this year, led by a rebound of production in Europe and the rest of the world, offsetting the Chinese slowdown, and both ArcelorMittal and Tata Steel have recently noted modest improvements in demand for steel, offering grounds for cautious optimism for a price recovery. Anthracite is the most versatile and high-quality metallurgical coal, and represents just 1% of the world's coal reserves. There are few new high-quality deposits in mining-friendly jurisdictions, which suggests a future supply imbalance, supporting future high prices. Most importantly, while China and other Asian markets continue to increase steel production, demand for metallurgical quality coal is expected to remain strong.
