Financial Data Service Providers in the US Industry Market Research Report from IBISWorld Has Been Updated
(PRWEB) October 19, 2014 -- The Financial Data Service Providers industry provides financial market data and related services, primarily real-time feeds, portfolio analytics, research, pricing and valuation data, to financial institutions, traders and investors. Industry vendors aggregate data and content from stock exchange feeds, broker and dealer desks and regulatory filings to distribute financial news and business information to the investment community. Over the five years to 2014, industry revenue is forecast to grow. IBISWorld Economic Analyst Leah Goddard says in the updated report, “since the financial crisis, the level of activity from financial institutions, including investment banks and securities brokerages, has remained depressed compared with prerecession heights, dampening revenue growth.” However, rising activity in mutual fund, hedge fund and other major markets has helped bolster industry demand, facilitating a recovery of revenue over the period.
Overall, recent trends toward the liberalization and globalization of world capital markets have resulted in greater mobility of investor capital, benefiting the financial sector through greater international participation in financial markets but also intensifying competition. These trends led to strong postrecession growth and helped propel industry revenue during the past five years. The industry also benefited from a tightened regulatory environment across the entire financial sector. As more regulations were passed, operators in the Financial Data Service Providers industry expanded their regulatory information offerings, boosting revenue in the process, including projected growth during 2014.
Over the next five years, growth in the Financial Data Service Providers industry is anticipated to accelerate as the economy improves, financial markets stabilize and investors, brokers and traders increase activity. “Additionally, due to significant restructuring efforts to improve efficiency after the recession, many corporations and large businesses will become more profitable,” Goddard says in the updated report. This will present greater opportunity for financial institutions and other businesses to purchase industry services. As a result, industry revenue is expected to over the five years to 2019.
