The report analyzes the global securities brokerages and stock exchanges market's drivers, restraints/challenges, and the effect they have on the demand during the projection period. In addition, the report explores emerging opportunities in the securities brokerages and stock exchanges industry.
Securities brokerages represent a securities business unit helping a person or a company carry out the purchase, sale, or exchange of securities in return for a fee, commission, or some other form of remuneration. In the financial market, securities are defined as any financial instrument that holds significant value and can be traded between involved parties. The word ‘securities’ can be considered an umbrella term that includes all financial aspects such as mutual funds, bonds, stocks, and exchange-traded investments or funds that can be bought or sold. Stocks, on the other hand, are a type of security that when bought, gives the buyer a share of ownership in a firm or a company. Stocks are also known as equities.
A stock exchange is a platform where multiple buyers and sellers can come together to undertake trading of financial tools for specified hours in a day and certain days in a week which is generally from Monday to Friday. Some examples of popular and dominant stock exchanges in the world are the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq, Shanghai Stock Exchange, London Stock Exchange, BSE, and many others.
Knowledge of a wider range of investment products to drive demand in the market
The global securities brokerages and stock exchanges market is projected to grow since these agencies are equipped with expertise and knowledge on a diverse range of investment products. Since stock exchanges are filled with millions of sellers or buyers, it can be difficult to navigate through all the available products and make the best decision for oneself. This is when securities brokerages come to play a role as they have people employed who understand the financial market in and out and can offer excellent advice to people who enroll for the service allowing them to enhance the chances of improving profit margins.
Higher volatility in the securities and stock exchanges to drive more people toward brokerage firms
In the wake of current political tension between several countries with the Russia and Ukraine war being a crucial influencer, the security and stock exchange transactions have become extremely volatile and unpredictable. For instance, in February 2023, Adani Group, one of India’s largest conglomerates called off its USD 2.5 billion share sale due to the massive impact of a research report published by Hindenburg that criticized the company’s short-selling tactics. Such incidents along with a drastic fall in the share price of Adani Group following the report led to a total investor’s loss of INR 51,294 crores.
Rising number of players aiming for wealth creation, management, and retirement to create higher revenue
The global securities brokerages and stock exchanges market players are expected to benefit from the increasing number of people trading in the securities and stock markets. With more people allocating the majority of their savings in these markets, the demand for efficient securities brokerages and companies providing services in stock exchanges is likely to grow as people seek experts who can guide them in the otherwise intimidating world of financial trading.
High risks associated with stock and securities trading restrict market expansion
One of the key risks in the securities brokerages and stock exchanges industry is the high risks that are associated when trading in stocks and securities. For instance, one cannot make any profits when buying a stock. The final profits or any financial trade occurring on stocks depend on the company’s performance and the external political or social environment supporting it. In case a company falls out of favor, investors may lose their money without any time to change their portfolio or a changes in case of higher investments.
Frequent loss of customers to impacting the market growth trend
Security brokerages are prone to losing customers frequently. This is because it is possible that once a consumer has learned enough, they may wish to invest or trade on their own since the price of stock brokerage services is generally high. For instance, in India, the brokerage fees range between 0.01% to 0.5% of the final transaction value. As the value increases, the brokerage fees automatically rise.
Adoption of modern technology in the market to create growth opportunities
With the changing outside world and technology taking over almost all industries, firms operating in the global securities brokerages and stock exchanges market have also adopted modern technology to reach a broader group of audience and improve their customer services. Some of the most used technologies include Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). They are used to improve risk assessment, conduct algorithmic trading, and predictive analysis among several other tasks such as using chatbots for dealing with new and old customers or managing customer portfolios. A recent survey by the Association of National Exchanges Market of India suggests that almost 71% of all stock brokers are planning to shift toward technology-driven services.
Detecting and managing fraud is a crucial challenge that needs more attention
The securities brokerages and stock exchanges industry companies are highly prone and vulnerable to cyber-attacks and fraud. These incidents can either be caused by external agents such as hackers or internally by company employees passing company information to other firms such as competitors. In July 2023, Can Fin Homes, a financial service company, lost 8% in shares after reporting a fraud of INR 38.5 crores. In May 2023, it was reported that India’s top 3 brokers were under the radar of regulatory officials due to money laundering and illegal trading suspicions.
