E-brokerage is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world due to its convenience and affordability, rapid digitalization, and growing internet penetration. However, the market is facing challenges such as security threats and regulatory issues. In contrast, technological innovation and the growing popularity of mobile trading platforms are driving the growth of the e-brokerage market.

The pandemic led to a surge in the use of digital technologies in various sectors, including finance. E-brokerage companies took advantage of this trend by providing easy-to-use and cutting-edge platforms. They introduced new features like mobile trading apps, sophisticated charting tools, and educational resources to entice and retain clients. The ease of use and accessibility of the platforms made them more attractive to investors. This, in turn, led to various growth opportunities for e-brokerages. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, asset under management (AUM) and revenue in the Neo-Brokerage market (E-brokerage being a segment of this) in the UK has been steadily growing and is driving the market for the e-brokerage segment within the UK.

Technological innovation has played a major role in the expansion of the services offered by E-brokerage platforms such as robo advisory, algo trading, predictive stock trading, etc. These tools have enabled retail investors to participate more in the financial markets. The increasing presence of international companies on the country’s stock exchange is also contributing to the expansion of E- Brokerage services by increasing trading frequency.
