Market Trends of Europe Wealth Management Industry
Growth In Millionaire Wealth Leading to the European Wealth Management Market Uptrend
Independent broker-dealers (IBD), wirehouses, independent advisors, and MFOs all compete to capture clients in the High Net Worth (HNW) and Ultra High Net Worth (UHNW) segments. The number of these HNW and UHNW people is on the rise, which has been acting as the driver for the European wealth management market. Europe offers about 30% of the world's millionaire population, and the rising number of millionaires in Europe enhances the wealth management market.
House Price Appreciation and Low Debt Rate is Anticipated to Drive the Market
In the first quarter of 2021, house prices, as measured by the House Price Index, rose by 5.8% in the Euro area and by 6.1% in the European Union compared with the same quarter of the previous year. In the fourth quarter of 2020, house prices rose by 5.6% and 5.8%, respectively.
The highest annual increases in house prices in the first quarter of 2021 were recorded in Luxembourg (+17.0%), Denmark (+15.3%), Lithuania (+12.0%), Czechia (+11.9%), and the Netherlands (+11.3%), while prices fell only in Cyprus (-5.8%).
In Europe, falling debt prices and increasing house prices have increased funding for personal and business entities, fueling the growth of the wealth management market.
