The Financial Advisory market in Papua New Guinea is experiencing significant development and growth.

Customer preferences: Customers in Papua New Guinea are increasingly seeking financial advisory services to help them navigate the complex and ever-changing financial landscape. With the country's economy becoming more integrated with the global market, individuals and businesses are recognizing the need for expert advice to make informed financial decisions. Additionally, as the population becomes more financially literate, there is a growing demand for personalized financial planning and investment strategies.

Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the Financial Advisory market in Papua New Guinea is the increasing adoption of digital platforms and technology. With the rise of smartphones and internet connectivity, customers are now able to access financial advisory services online, making it more convenient and accessible. This trend is particularly prominent among the younger generation who are tech-savvy and prefer digital solutions. Another trend in the market is the growing popularity of socially responsible investing. Customers are increasingly interested in investing in companies and funds that align with their values and have a positive impact on society and the environment. This trend is driven by a greater awareness of environmental and social issues, as well as the desire to make a difference through their investments.

Local special circumstances: Papua New Guinea is a country with a diverse population and a unique set of challenges. The country has a high level of income inequality and a large informal economy, which can make financial planning and investment decisions more complex. Additionally, the country's geographic location and infrastructure limitations can pose challenges for financial advisory firms in reaching and serving customers in remote areas.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The development of the Financial Advisory market in Papua New Guinea is also influenced by underlying macroeconomic factors. The country's economy has been growing steadily in recent years, driven by industries such as mining, agriculture, and construction. This economic growth has led to an increase in disposable income and wealth, creating opportunities for financial advisory services. Furthermore, the government of Papua New Guinea has been implementing reforms to improve the business environment and attract foreign investment. These reforms, coupled with the country's strategic location in the Asia-Pacific region, have attracted international financial advisory firms to establish a presence in Papua New Guinea. This has contributed to the development of the local market and increased competition among financial advisory service providers. In conclusion, the Financial Advisory market in Papua New Guinea is developing and growing due to customer preferences for expert advice, the adoption of digital platforms, the trend of socially responsible investing, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. As the country continues to integrate with the global economy and its population becomes more financially literate, the demand for financial advisory services is expected to further increase.

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).

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.
