The ETF market size is forecast to increase by USD 13.12 billion, at a CAGR of 17.61% between 2023 and 2028. The Equity, Fixed Income, Real Estate, Commodity, and Currency Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) market is experiencing significant growth, with increasing Assets under Management (AuM) and market liquidity. The trend toward bond ETFs continues, driven by their cost-effective nature and ability to offer investors access to diversified portfolios. However, this growth brings challenges, including transaction risks and the need for advanced Investment Accounting solutions, such as Contingency Net Asset Value (NAV) solutions, to ensure accurate and timely pricing for various ETFs, including Topix Equity ETFs, Fixed Income ETFs, Real Estate ETFs, Commodity ETFs, and Currency ETFs. These advanced solutions help mitigate risks and ensure regulatory compliance, enabling investors to make informed decisions in the dynamic market.
Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are a type of investment fund that functions as an exchange-traded product. They are listed on stock exchanges and allow investors to buy and sell units like stocks. ETFs provide the benefits of mutual funds, such as diversification and professional management, but with the added flexibility of being bought and sold throughout the trading day. ETFs offer affordability and lower transaction costs compared to mutual funds due to their structure. They track various indices, making them an excellent choice for passive investment strategies. Government support and financial market stability have contributed to the growth of the market. ETFs come in various forms, including physical ETFs, alternative trading funds, computer-built ETFs, and those focused on specific sectors like fixed income, real estate, commodities, and currencies. ETFs can be suitable for both retail and institutional investors, as well as individuals seeking to invest in bonds, equities, commodities, or currencies. With their transparency, low costs, and flexibility, ETFs have become an increasingly popular investment choice for those looking to navigate market volatility.
The market research report provides comprehensive data (region-wise segment analysis), with forecasts and estimates in "USD billion" for the period 2024-2028, as well as historical data from 2018-2022 for the following segments.
The fixed income ETF segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The fixed income Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) sector holds a significant position in the investment market. Fixed income ETFs function as bond funds, investing in various types of fixed-income securities, including corporate, municipal, and treasury bonds. Unlike traditional corporate bonds, which are typically sold through bond brokers, fixed income ETFs trade on a centralized stock exchange. This setup offers bond buyers increased exposure to the stock market, as they can easily buy and sell their holdings throughout the trading day. Major market participants, such as BlackRock, Inc. And The Vanguard Group, Inc., provide a range of fixed income ETFs, including treasury bond ETFs, corporate bond ETFs, and aggregate bond ETFs. The government's support for financial market stability and the growing popularity of alternative trading funds, like ETFs, contribute to the continued growth of the market. Investors can access various asset classes, including bonds, equity, commodities, currencies, and specialty sectors, through these computer-built investment vehicles.

The market in North America experienced significant expansion by 2023, holding a substantial market share with approximately USD 8.4 trillion in assets. This growth can be attributed to the increasing popularity of ETFs, particularly in the areas of bonds, equity, commodity, currency, and specialty sectors. One notable trend driving this growth is the adoption of active ETF strategies, which now manage USD 630 billion in assets within the region. North America has been more receptive to active ETFs compared to other global markets, with these strategies accounting for a quarter of the region's total inflows in 2023. The government's continued support for financial market stability and the convenience of physically-backed ETFs have further fueled their widespread use as an alternative to traditional trading funds.
Computer-built ETFs have also gained traction, offering investors precise exposure to various market segments.

Market liquidity is the key driver of the market. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are investment vehicles that offer investors the affordability and transactional efficiency of buying and selling stocks while providing the diversification benefits of traditional investment funds. ETFs function as exchange-traded products, meaning they are bought and sold on a stock exchange throughout the trading day, unlike index funds which can only be bought or sold at the end of the trading day based on their net asset value. ETFs offer investors access to various asset classes with high liquidity, including equities and fixed income. The liquidity of an ETF is influenced by its composition and trading volume.
ETFs are commonly invested in large-cap markets due to their high liquidity. Moreover, the trading volume of an ETF significantly impacts its liquidity. As a result, ETFs provide investors with an attractive option for implementing passive investment strategies in a cost-effective manner, even during market volatility.
Growth of bond ETFs is the upcoming trend in the market. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs), specifically bond ETFs, have gained significant traction among investors due to their affordability and efficiency in large transactions. Institutions increasingly find it challenging to access individual bonds, leading them to opt for bond ETFs instead. These funds enable investors to trade securities that would otherwise be difficult and costly to access individually. According to industry reports, the expense of trading individual bonds from over 50 countries can be up to 65 times higher than bond ETFs. Consequently, the demand for bond ETFs is anticipated to rise, fueling the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Passive investment strategies, such as index funds, have also contributed to the popularity of ETFs due to their lower transaction costs compared to actively managed funds. Net Asset Value (NAV) of ETFs is calculated throughout the trading day, providing investors with real-time pricing information, making them an attractive option for those seeking transparency and flexibility in their investment portfolios.
Transaction risks is a key challenge affecting the market growth. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are investment vehicles that provide investors with an affordable way to access various asset classes and markets through a single security. As exchange-traded products, ETFs are bought and sold on stock exchanges, allowing for real-time pricing and flexibility. However, investing in ETFs, like any other investment, comes with certain risks. One such risk is market volatility, which can impact the Net Asset Value (NAV) of an ETF. Transaction costs are another risk factor to consider when investing in ETFs. These costs can include fees associated with buying and selling shares on the stock exchange, as well as the spread between the bid and ask price.
Given the real-time pricing of ETFs, these costs can add up over time. Investors may also face transaction risks when investing in ETFs that track international indexes or markets. For instance, if an investor buys a European ETF denominated in euros while the U.S. Dollar is weak against the euro, the investor may incur a loss before the transaction is even completed due to currency fluctuations. Despite these risks, ETFs offer several advantages over traditional investment funds, including lower transaction costs, transparency, and the ability to implement passive investment strategies such as indexing. By understanding the risks and benefits of ETFs, investors can make informed decisions and effectively manage their portfolios.
