Investment Banking & Securities Dealing in the US - Industry Market Research Report

Safe and secured: Improved macroeconomic conditions will likely boost industry revenue growth

Strong returns in various financial markets and continued macroeconomic growth have benefited operators in the Investment Banking and Securities Dealing industry over the five years to 2019. Revenue growth was hindered during most of the current period due to structural changes to the trading services that industry operators were permitted to conduct. Revenue was particularly hampered early during the current period as a result of declining fixed income, commodities and currencies trading revenue. However, operators have benefited from numerous trends, including increased demand for initial public offerings from private companies. Overall, industry revenue has increased over the past five years. Over the five years to 2024, industry revenue is forecast to continue to expand. The industry as a whole is projected to continue benefiting from continued macroeconomic activity and rising interest rates during the outlook period
