Securities Investment in China industry analysis

Over the five years through 2024, revenue for the Securities Investment industry in China has been increasing at a CAGR of 11.6%. This includes expected industry revenue increase of 6.2% in the current year. Due to uncertainty brought about by the COVID-19, the international political geopolitical crisis and the fluctuation of the international financial market, the industry experienced significant fluctuations over the last five years.
The strong growth of 33.1% and 49.7% in 2020 and 2021 was due to the surging initial public offering (IPO) activities in China and the strong performance of securities investments. In 2022 and 2023, due to the decline of major stock indices in China, industry revenue decreased by 11.9% and 7.1%.
The Securities Investment industry in China has experienced dramatic developments since the establishment of China's securities market.
