Investment and Asset Management in China industry analysis

The Investment and Asset Management industry in China has increased at a CAGR of 1.8% over the five years through 2025. This growth includes an expected increase of 3.3% in the current year. Rising industry demand has resulted from the recovery of the domestic economy from the COVID-19 epidemic and the continuous development of innovative financing products and channels, with funds, private offerings, and trusts replacing traditional bank savings accounts.
In 2020, affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, there is great pressure on asset management companies' liquidity management and asset quality management. Industry revenue was estimated to decrease by 4.6%. In 2021, with the recovery of China's economy, the Investment and Asset Management industry faced better market opportunities, and industry revenue is expected to have increased by 0.8%. In 2022, with the repeated COVID-19, the real estate sector in the main downstream markets was severely hit, so the Investment and Asset Management industry declined by 6.6%.
ACMR-IBISWorld forecasts that industry revenue will grow 3.5% annually over the five years through 2030. Investment and asset management firms will continue investing in information management and resource allocation technology to upgrade their existing products and develop new product offerings. In addition, the Chinese Government is expected to launch more policies to encourage the healthy and stable development of the industry as investment and asset management become increasingly tied to stable economic growth and wealth accumulation within the country.

Trends and Insights

  • Asset management services are encouraged by the government. Asset management has undergone multiple reforms, transitioning from a policy-oriented to a market-oriented approach.
  • Beijing benefits from extensive financial facilities. Multiple banks are headquartered in Beijing, providing convenience for the Investment and Asset Management industry in China.
