High Inflation, Rising Interest Rates to Boost US Commercial Bank Revenues

Interest revenue growth will outpace noninterest revenue

CLEVELAND, Sept. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- US commercial bank revenue is forecast to grow 5.8% annually in nominal dollars through 2026, according to Commercial Banking: United States, a report recently released by Freedonia Focus Reports. Banks will benefit from growth in economic activity and advances in consumer and business incomes to 2026. Gains in interest revenue are projected to outpace noninterest revenue due to rising interest rates as the Federal Reserve attempts to tackle the high inflation experienced in 2021 and 2022. In addition, higher inflation rates will increase the nominal value of loans sought and interest payments. However, inflation over the forecast period will reduce the value of loans and leases already held by banks.

Commercial bank assets are forecast to expand 5.0% annually to 2026. Advances will be driven by projected increases in loans and leases in addition to inflation pushing up asset values. The expected rise in interest rates will help generate higher returns on bank assets and contribute to growth.

The value of gross loans and leases is projected to rise 5.8% per year to 2026. Demand for loans and leases is expected to benefit from projected growth in GDP to 2026, despite declines in GDP in the early forecast period. In particular, issuers of real estate loans are projected to benefit from the continued growth forecast for residential and nonresidential investment in structures. Lending to the commercial and industrial sector is expected to advance based on rising equipment investment as manufacturing output continues to expand. Increases in disposable personal income will bolster personal spending and drive demand for consumer financing. Inflation during the forecast period will also add to growth in the value of gross loans and leases.

These and other key insights are featured in Commercial Banking: United States. This report forecasts to 2022 and 2026 the following measures of the US commercial banking industry in nominal US dollars:

• interest revenue
• noninterest revenue (e.g., fees)
• net loan and lease charge-offs
• net income
• assets
• gross loans and leases
• deposits

In addition, credit union revenue is forecast in nominal US dollars to 2026.

To illustrate historical trends, the measures of commercial banking noted above and credit union revenue, as well as the number of respective firms, establishments, and employees, are provided in annual series from 2011 to 2021. In addition, segmentation for commercial bank assets, gross loans and leases, and deposits is provided in annual series from 2011 to 2021.

The scope of this report covers the commercial banks, the commercial banking subsidiaries of bank or financial holding companies, and the savings institutions (also known as savings and loans, or thrifts) that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
