Analyst Opinion

The Financial Advisory market in Kuwait is experiencing significant growth and development, driven by changing customer preferences and local special circumstances.

Customer preferences:
Customers in Kuwait are increasingly seeking professional financial advice to help them navigate the complex and ever-changing financial landscape. They are looking for personalized and tailored solutions that can help them achieve their financial goals. This shift in customer preferences can be attributed to several factors, including increased awareness about the importance of financial planning, a desire for better investment returns, and a need for expert guidance in managing their wealth.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Financial Advisory market in Kuwait is the growing demand for Sharia-compliant financial advisory services. As a predominantly Muslim country, Kuwait has a strong focus on Islamic finance, and customers are increasingly looking for advisors who can provide them with investment options that are in line with Islamic principles. This trend is driven by a combination of religious beliefs and a desire to invest in ethical and socially responsible assets. Another trend in the market is the rise of digital financial advisory platforms. Customers in Kuwait are increasingly comfortable using technology to manage their finances, and they are looking for convenient and accessible ways to access financial advice. Digital platforms offer a range of services, including automated investment management, financial planning tools, and access to a network of advisors. These platforms are gaining popularity due to their ease of use, cost-effectiveness, and ability to provide personalized recommendations based on individual financial goals and risk tolerance.

Local special circumstances:
Kuwait has a unique financial landscape characterized by a high level of wealth and a strong emphasis on family and community. Family businesses play a significant role in the Kuwaiti economy, and many individuals have inherited substantial wealth. As a result, there is a need for specialized financial advisory services that can help families preserve and grow their wealth across generations. This has led to the emergence of family office advisory services, which provide comprehensive wealth management solutions tailored to the specific needs of high-net-worth families.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The development of the Financial Advisory market in Kuwait is also influenced by several underlying macroeconomic factors. Kuwait has a stable and well-regulated financial sector, which provides a favorable environment for the growth of financial advisory services. Additionally, the country has a high GDP per capita and a strong economy, which creates a favorable market for wealth management and investment advisory services. In conclusion, the Financial Advisory market in Kuwait is experiencing growth and development driven by changing customer preferences, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. The demand for personalized and tailored financial advice, the rise of Sharia-compliant services, the emergence of digital platforms, and the need for specialized family office advisory services are all contributing to the growth of the market. With a stable financial sector and a strong economy, Kuwait provides a favorable environment for the expansion of financial advisory services.

Methodology

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. In some cases, the data is updated on an ad hoc basis (e.g., when new, relevant data has been released or significant changes within the market have an impact on the projected development).
