During the five years to 2015, revenue for the Debt Collection Agencies industry is expected to increase marginally. Moving past the recession, growth in the industry has been tied to several distinct epochs. In the coming years, increases in collection rates and outstanding credit are expected to drive growth in the industry's revenue. As unemployment rates decline and the housing market recovers, consumers' ability to pay back outstanding loans will continue to boost recovery rates. Household debt and outsourcing services are also projected to continue increasing through 2020, supporting industry growth.
The Debt Collection Agencies industry comprises businesses that pursue payments on debts owed by individuals and businesses. Most collection agencies operate as agents of creditors and render their services for a fee or percentage of the total amount owed. Other agencies purchase debt portfolios from creditors at deep discounts and then pursue outstanding balances for their own gain.
