As the population becomes wealthier and more financially literate, individuals are seeking professional guidance to manage their investments and assets. They are looking for tailored solutions that take into account their specific financial goals, risk tolerance, and investment preferences. This shift in preference is driven by the desire for more effective wealth preservation and growth strategies, as well as the need for expert advice in navigating the complexities of the financial markets.

The trends in the Wealth Management market in Albania reflect global and regional developments. One of the key trends is the increasing demand for digital wealth management solutions. With the advancement of technology, individuals are becoming more comfortable with online platforms and digital tools for managing their wealth.

Many individuals and businesses operate in the informal sector, and they require assistance in formalizing their financial activities and accessing the formal financial system.

Underlying macroeconomic factors in Albania further support the growth and development of the Wealth Management market. The country has experienced steady economic growth in recent years, which has resulted in an increase in disposable income and wealth accumulation. This provides a larger pool of potential clients for wealth management firms.

Additionally, the low interest rate environment and limited investment options in traditional asset classes, such as real estate and government bonds, have led individuals to seek alternative investment opportunities. This has created a demand for wealth management services that can offer a diversified range of investment options and strategies.

Modeling approach / Market size:

Market sizes are determined through a combined top-down and bottom-up approach, building on a specific rationale for each market segment. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of key players, industry reports, third-party reports, publicly available databases, and survey results from primary research activities (e.g., the Statista Global Consumer Survey). In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as: GDP, gross national income (GNI), consumer spending, total investment (% of GDP), high income (% of population), and number of high-net-worth individuals (HNWI). This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing are well suited for forecasting digital products and services due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption.

Private wealth management has developed significantly in recent years as a result of the growth of affluence worldwide. The number of millionaires in North America more than doubled between 2010 and 2022. A similar trend can be observed in the Asia-Pacific and Europe. The total wealth of the adult population in Europe has steadily increased since 2010. Private Wealth Management is an increasingly important service as the rate of wealth continues to increase among the general population and affluent high-net-worth-individuals. Coupled with the recent developments in the Fintech market, this has helped to open up new Private Wealth Management products and services to people with smaller amounts of disposable income and expanding services offered to larger clients.
