The HNWI population is booming and is expected to be the biggest growth driver for the market
- HNWIs have over USD 1 million in liquid financial assets, while UHNWIs have a net worth of at least USD 30 million. From 2017 to 2022, there was a surge of around 90% in the HNWI population in the region. In 2022, the number of HNWIs in Asia-Pacific increased by 2% compared to 2020.
- Japan witnessed a growth rate of 15% in 2022. The slow growth of the HNWI population in major countries has affected the overall wealth growth in Asia-Pacific. In China, the increase in average wealth led to more than 70% in the number of millionaires. Asia-Pacific is emerging as the leading destination for wealth management and private banking globally, driven by the growing wealth in the region, the increasing HNWI population, and its need for financial advice.
- Factors such as a change in political leadership and low consumption during the pandemic impacted the Japanese Stock market, Nikkei 225, and hampered the growth of HNWIs in the country. Developing countries such as India, Vietnam, and Thailand witnessed growth in HNWIs compared to the leading Asia-Pacific countries. In 202, India witnessed a growth of over 292% in its HNWI population. Thailand and Vietnam witnessed a growth of around 21% and 13%, respectively. High liquidity support by central banks, supportive domestic policy, and stability in the stock markets aided the growth of HNWIs in these countries. Technology, industrial conglomerates, energy, and real estate were the major sectors that accounted for most of the Asia-Pacific HNWI population.
