Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. The figures are based on gross revenues, assets under management, and user & advisor data of relevant services and products offered within the Wealth Management market.

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.

Forecasts:

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.

Additional notes:

The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change. The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level.

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.
