Additionally, the Albanian government has been implementing reforms to improve the regulatory framework and promote transparency in the financial sector.

These initiatives create a favorable environment for the growth of the Financial Advisory market. Underlying macroeconomic factors, such as a growing economy and increasing disposable income, also play a role in the development of the Financial Advisory market in Albania. As the economy expands, individuals have more financial resources to invest and seek professional advice.

Furthermore, the low interest rate environment in the country has led to a shift in investment preferences, with individuals turning to financial advisors to explore alternative investment options that can generate higher returns. In conclusion, the Financial Advisory market in Albania is developing in response to changing customer preferences, technological advancements, and global trends. The shift towards personalized services, the adoption of digital technology, and the growing importance of sustainable investing are driving the growth of the market.

Local special circumstances, such as low financial literacy and government reforms, further contribute to the development of the market. Underlying macroeconomic factors, including a growing economy and low interest rates, also play a role in shaping the Financial Advisory market in Albania.

Data coverage:

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.
