On borrowed time

While many businesses suffered major losses during the recession, the Consumer Electronics and Appliances Rental industry remained relatively steady. As the economy took major hits from soaring unemployment rates and low disposable income, industry demand increased. This trend will continue into the next five years, with the industry targeting consumers with poor credit who would otherwise not be able to afford purchasing consumer electronics and appliances. However, operators will be threatened by competition from consumer electronics and appliance stores, especially as better credit rates allow consumers to make long-term purchases.
