The mutual fund assets market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.01 trillion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7%. The anticipated growth during the forecast period can be attributed to changes in the regulatory environment, expanding cross-border investment opportunities, growing awareness and education, a low-interest rate climate, and increased participation by institutional investors.

The increasing aging population is projected to drive the growth of the mutual fund assets market. The aging population, defined as individuals aged 65 and older, is expanding due to rising life expectancy and declining birth rates. As people approach retirement, they often shift from high-risk, growth-oriented investments to more conservative, income-generating mutual funds that provide stability and regular income. This shift is expected to bolster the mutual fund assets market. For example, according to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, a US-based intergovernmental agency, the global population aged 65 and older is forecasted to more than double from 761 million in 2021 to 1.6 billion by 2050. By that year, this demographic is projected to represent one in every six people worldwide. Thus, the growing aging population is fueling the expansion of the mutual fund assets market.
