Asset servicing refers to a set of tasks and activities performed by a custodian for his clients in relation to the assets in his custody. The main services offered in asset servicing are fund services, custody and accounting, outsourcing services, and securities lending. Securities lending is the process of lending shares of stock, commodities, derivative contracts, or other securities to other investors or firms. The borrower must put up collateral in the form of cash, other assets, or a letter of credit when applying for a security loan. The services are offered to large enterprises, medium-sized and small enterprises, capital markets, and wealth management firms. The asset servicing research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides asset servicing statistics, including asset servicing industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with asset servicing shares, detailed asset servicing segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the asset servicing industry. This asset servicing research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry. The global asset servicing market will grow from $1159.45 billion in 2022 to $1277.82 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The global asset servicing market is expected to grow to $1830.69 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 9.4%. Globalization acts as a major driver for the growth of the asset servicing industry. According to a study on global asset servicing, nearly 60% of asset services in Assets Under Administration (AUA) and Assets Under Contract (AUC) predict that globalization is likely to be a strong driver for the asset servicing market’s growth over the forecast period. The players dealing in the asset servicing industry are majorly focusing on the APAC markets and other growing economies. Moreover, according to the BNP Paribas Securities Services article published in January 2020, India was expected to experience impressive growth in the asset management and servicing industry owing to the increasing working population, the rising buying power of the populace, and expected growth in the GDP of the country. Thus, globalization creates a large avenue for the expansion and growth of the asset servicing market over the forecast period. The stringent regulatory framework is predicted to limit the growth of the asset servicing industry over the forecast period. According to Funds Europe’s asset servicing roundtable, rising global regulation is adding cost and risk to asset servicing, creating a requirement for asset servicers to constantly engage with clients and regulators. In addition to this, according to EY’s new opportunities for asset servicing study, nearly 75% of the companies see the impact of regulations as the greater risk facing the asset servicing industry. Therefore, the increased scrutiny from regulatory agencies is anticipated to hinder the asset service market’s growth in the forecast period. Robotic process automation (RPA) or automation is a major trend shaping the growth of the asset servicing market. Robotic process automation alone could reduce the headcount by 60–70% in the asset servicing industry while also achieving cost savings of approximately 30–40%. Robotic process automation (RPA) refers to a set of software tools known as bots or robots that are used to perform a repetitive or routine business process that is currently used by transaction processing teams or service centers. RPA can replace manual tasks involved in asset servicing such as reconciliation, trade processing, and reporting for regulators and clients, reducing the time required with cost-efficiency. For instance, the ANZ Banking Group was one of the early ones to adopt RPA aggressively and automated its HR, finance, and technology processes in its Bengaluru hub, creating thousands of bots. In April 2020, JP Morgan sought to take whole ownership of China International Fund Management (CIFM), a local asset management firm, for an amount of $1 billion. This step was taken following China's reforms on the elimination of caps on foreign companies' taking full control of local asset management operations. This acquisition is expected to enable JP Morgan's long-term involvement with CIFM and strengthen the company’s position in the Chinese market. China International Fund Management (CIFM) was founded in 2004 and offers asset management and related services to China. Major players in the asset servicing market are National Australia Bank Limited, CACEIS, BNY Mellon, HSBC, JP Morgan, Citi, The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BNY Mellon), State Street Corporation, UBS, and Clearstream (Deutsche Börse Group).

This management consulting services market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry. The global management consulting services market grew from $976.34 billion in 2022 to $1,022.24 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, and affecting many markets across the globe. The management consulting services market is expected to grow from $1,184.03 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 3.7%. Many clients of the management consulting services market are expanding globally and thus require more sophisticated and internationally-oriented services. Globalization is expected to pave the way for more joint ventures, foreign investments, global expansion, and multi-national companies setting up facilities in high-growth regions. Companies are increasingly forming joint ventures with firms in other countries to test the market. Similarly, some companies are looking to acquire an established company in a new market to minimise the risk. Furthermore, globalisation in the management consulting services industry is gaining momentum due to rapid growth in the internet, automation of consultancy processes, and developments in data security. In response to this, many domestic management consultancies have entered into new markets, collaborating with foreign groups to offer services in a wider range of countries. The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a restraint on the management consulting services market in 2020 as governments globally imposed lockdowns and restricted trade, thereby limiting the need for professional services. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province, of the People’s Republic of China and has spread globally, including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Steps by national governments to contain the transmission have resulted in a decline in economic activity with countries entering a state of "lock down" and the outbreak has had a negative impact on businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the management consulting services market will recover from the shock over the forecast period as it is a "black swan" event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy. Artificial intelligence (AI) and automation are revolutionising the way management consultants explore data. AI and automation help management consultants handle such processes as processing and analysing massive amounts of data more efficiently and faster than an average human. It can also provide accurate insights in the areas of businesses such as sales, operations, supply chain, and more. For example, JLL, an American professional services and investment management company specialising in real estate, leverages an AI analysis system to drastically streamline workloads. The real estate consultancy advises on client portfolios that can be made up of anything between 1 and 100,000 properties, which traditionally took professionals weeks to analyze. In the consulting area, the information gathered through AI on sales channels, customer journeys, and client behaviour can help consultants identify new opportunities and develop effective strategies for advertising campaigns. According to Euan Cameron, PwC’s UK AI Leader, AI could add huge value to the management consulting sector, which traditionally was conservative and human-driven.
