The 2014 Equipment Leasing and Finance Economic Outlook: Equipment Leasing and Financing Marketplace LeaseQ Weighs In
Boston, MA (PRWEB) February 06, 2014 -- With economic growth of 3.0% expected in 2014, the equipment lease and finance industry remains optimistic regarding its growth prospects in the coming year. The 2014 growth is expected to be the fastest pace of economic expansion since the 2008 – 2009 recession. Although budget stalemates on Capitol Hill linger a potential stumbling block, a combination of economic factors continue to provide an optimistic outlook for the state of the equipment leasing and financing industry into the New Year.

Robust auto sales, strong housing, falling gas prices and improving unemployment numbers indicative the US economy is largely back on track since the economic downturn that began in 2008. With steadily improving credit availability and near record high household wealth, all signs indicate that the US is poised for a record economic year in 2014. For the equipment lease and finance industry, economic growth should continue to generate stronger overall investment in software and equipment for businesses of all sizes. Companies may be further incentivized to lock in lower rates earlier in the year due to a steadily rising interest rate environment.
Positive trends in the equipment industry include transportation equipment investment, which is expected to continue its growth seen in the third quarter of 2013 and points to even stronger momentum in the next six to twelve months. Industrial equipment investment had a particularly strong Q3 2013, which is expected to remain strong moving forward. Highly affected by employment and new orders, the sector will continue to remain a bright spot in 2014.
Some industries that are expected to remain weak include agriculture equipment, as well as construction equipment. Construction equipment reached record levels in 2013 – but industry experts predict a cooling of this rapid growth, with a decline by 5% to 10% in the coming year.
