United Kingdom (UK) Pensions Market Size, Trends, Competitive Landscape and Forecasts to 2027


Summary

The UK pensions market expanded strongly in 2022, recording a 10.6% rise to reach GBP15.4 billion in annual premium equivalent (APE). Work-based pensions achieved a very strong growth rate of 23.6% over the same period. Due to a rise in workplace pension enrolment, workplace pensions-which account for the bulk of pensions at 57.8%-played a key part in this rise. All other pension types contracted in 2022.

This report examines how the pensions market is changing. Consumers are being encouraged to save in workplace and personal pensions at a time when the impacts of the cost-of-living crisis are squeezing the financials of many households. This report explores how consumers’ attitudes and behaviors towards long-term saving, planning for retirement, and accessing private pensions are changing. It provides current and historical data on the size of the market by product type, covering individual pensions, workplace pensions, and trust-based pensions. Data on common retirement products is also provided, while the size of the pensions market has been forecast to 2027.

Scope
  • Single individuals (i.e., those not in a legally-recognized relationship) must supplement their state pension by over GBP14,000 per annum in order to achieve a moderate standard of living in retirement, given that the full state pension pays roughly GBP9,000.
  • According to our 2023 UK Life and Pensions Survey, 61.9% of people contributed at least 6% of their salary towards their pension in 2023. 18.2% increased their pension contribution in 2023 despite the cost-of-living crisis.
  • 56% of pension pots were completely withdrawn upon its first time accessed. 17.7% of over 55s decided to take money out of their pension plans. However, 62.8% of these people did not consult a financial expert, which may have led them to make financially reckless decisions.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
