United Kingdom Pre-Retirement Pensions Market 2020-2024: Learn About the Impact of COVID-19 on Pensions


Dublin, Oct. 19, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "United Kingdom (UK) Pre-Retirement Pensions Market 2020" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The report provides current and historical data on the size of the market by product type - covering individual pensions, workplace pensions, and trust-based pensions - and distribution channel. The size of the pensions market has been forecast to 2024.

The total UK pensions market grew 16.1% to 16.4bn annual premium equivalent (APE) in 2019. Workplace pensions drove growth as minimum pension contributions increased to 8%. Direct benefit to direct contribution transfers continue as companies de-risk and individuals take advantage of pension freedoms. COVID-19 will bring uncertainty to saving for retirement.

The UK economy has officially entered into recession and disposable incomes are set to fall as unemployment rises. This will force many individuals to temporarily stop making pension contributions as they cut non-essential spending. The UK pensions market is projected to contract at the start of the forecast period before returning to growth.
