The objective of Task 1 is to provide an indication of the economic importance of the five P2P markets analysed in the study, as well as the different P2P business models used. These objectives are met by analysing the services and characteristics of 485 P2P platforms based in the EU and Norway, operationalising the Task 2 survey results and through a review of secondary data and publications. Consumer protection issues are particularly important considering that P2P platforms have developed considerably in recent years: 52% of the platforms in the sample (252) were created in or after 2010. According to the academic literature, the recent increase in P2P transactions is due to P2P market advantages such as lower prices, increased access to goods or environmental concerns. 81% of the platforms in the sample are small or medium-sized (below 10,000 daily visitors), and the literature suggests that P2P markets will continue to grow in the near future.
