Dublin, Sept. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Investment Banking Market Report 2025" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The investment banking market has witnessed strong growth recently, with projections indicating continued expansion. The market size is expected to increase from $140.16 billion in 2024 to $150.49 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. Moving forward, it is forecasted to grow to $202.06 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 7.6%. Key growth drivers include the integration of sustainable finance and ESG principles, advancements in digital asset services, and infrastructure investments.
Despite this growth, a projected 0.2% reduction in CAGR from previous estimates is noted, attributed primarily to trade tariffs between the US and other nations. This has led to increased costs for US-based deal executions as tariffs raise licensing expenses for essential analytics tools procured from the UK and Switzerland. Broader impacts include reciprocal tariffs and heightened trade tensions, affecting the global economy.
Investment banks are poised to benefit from global economic growth, bolstered by increased GDP, heightened employment rates, and improved consumer spending. The demand for financial services such as M&A, fundraising, and advisory work is expected to rise during economic surges, supported by World Bank projections of global economic growth rates at 1.7% in 2023 and 2.7% in 2024.
Growth is further driven by rising capital requirements imposed by financial authorities to ensure stability and protect stakeholders. Investment banks, therefore, play a crucial role in assisting with capital structure optimization and fundraising efforts. The European Central Bank noted an increase in Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital requirements to 10.7% of RWA for 2023, up from 10.4% in the previous year, catalyzing investment banking growth.
Strategically, banks are shifting towards less regulatory capital-intensive activities, with major players like Barclays, Deutsche Bank, and Credit Suisse focusing on M&A advisory rather than traditional underwriting. This strategic adjustment is in response to regulatory changes impacting cost structures. Firms like Citibank and JPMorgan maintain broad service ranges, adjusting to these dynamics.
On the technology front, companies are enhancing operations through AI-driven platforms. For instance, Wells Fargo launched Vantage, a digital banking solution that leverages AI and ML to meet the needs of commercial and investment banking clients efficiently.
Mergers and acquisitions remain a key strategy for product diversification and market expansion, with larger firms acquiring niche-focused boutique entities. This trend facilitates broader service offerings and strengthens market presence.
