Algorithmic Trading Market Analysis

The Algorithmic Trading Market was valued at USD 14.42 billion in the current year and is expected to register a CAGR of 8.53%, reaching USD 23.74 billion in five years. Traders have traditionally used market surveillance technology to keep track of their trading operations and investment portfolios. Applications with built-in intelligence, like algorithmic trading, can explore the market for various opportunities based on the yield and other parameters the user specifies.

• The need for the algorithmic trading industry is anticipated to be driven by favorable governmental rules, rising demand for quick, reliable, and efficient order execution, increasing demand for market surveillance, and declining transaction costs. Large brokerage firms and institutional investors use algorithmic trading to reduce the expenses of bulk trading. Additionally, it is anticipated that the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and financial service algorithms will create attractive market expansion opportunities. A rise in the demand for cloud-based solutions is also anticipated to support the growth of the algorithmic trading market.
• The technological revolution has altered how one can interact with the world and do business. But, far from reaching maturity, the revolution continues to unfold, revealing even more disruptive technologies and approaches capable of disrupting entire industries and spawning significantly new business models. Advanced and intelligent trading systems have evolved with markets and technological advances in recent years. These systems have become increasingly popular in recent years as they enable different levels of automated trading.
• Since the introduction of matching engines in modern exchanges, algorithmic trading has been used globally. By removing human restrictions, such technological advancements have enhanced the capacity of markets to process orders and trades. As a result, the studied market's timeline shifted from seconds to milliseconds, and market surveillance was transferred from the trading pit to computers. Whether conducted by a government or an exchange, market surveillance safeguards market integrity and protects participants from unethical behavior.
• While algorithmic trading has its advantages, it can also amplify the negative trends in the market studied by causing crashes (so-called "flash crashes") and immediate loss of liquidity. The instant loss of liquidity can restrain market growth.
• The COVID-19 pandemic led to increased dependence on technologies owing to the global lockdowns. The volatile market conditions, high trading volume, and drive for rapid digital transformation to cope with the remote working environment have all contributed to the uptick in algorithmic trading.
