The maturing European private credit market

Globally, the private credit market is set to grow to US$2.8 trillion by 2028. Europe is expected to follow a similar trajectory, and sentiment remains positive despite headwinds for M&A activity in 2024, as European economies experience disinflationary trends and rate cuts occur in 2025. As the direct lending market matures, it is expected that market will continue to expand into new areas, including asset-backed finance structures and more bespoke deals. Our group of leading GPs will discuss what to expect in the evolving landscape of private credit.

  • What are the key considerations for private credit managers in a challenging and shifting macroeconomic environment?
  • Private credit vs banks: is private credit increasingly competing with the broadly syndicated market, or has there been increased collaboration, with hybrid structures on the rise?
  • What are the next growth opportunities and capabilities in private credit as managers diversify and expand their platforms beyond direct lending, such as special situations, asset-backed lending, and NAV lending?
  • Will there be more consolidation in the European direct lending market in 2025?
