The new industry research report from Technavio discusses in detail the key drivers and trends responsible for the growth of this market and its sub-segments.

“Innovative products like volatility index derivatives are gaining a lot of importance in the Europe and the US. The markets like equity, commodity, and currency would be bullish during the forecast period due to an increase in the number of trade volumes. Due to long-term interest rate options and single stock derivatives the revenue generation is expected to be more in the currency and commodity derivatives market during the forecast period,” says Navin Rajendra, Lead Analyst, ICT, Technavio Research.

The foreign exchange turnover was around USD 6 trillion at the end of 2014 which is an all-time high. Many investors have tried to diversify their portfolio into riskier assets like international equities and local currency emerging market bonds. Therefore, as investors are more focused on rebalancing their portfolios more frequently, it has led to the increasing need to trade in foreign exchange in large quantities. This trend is likely to boom the global derivatives market through 2019.

The leading vendors in the global derivatives market include ANZ, BNP Paribas, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Nomura, and Societe Generale. The top vendors in this market are focusing on the supervision of the financial systems and identifying cross-border systemic risks so that there can be transparency in the system to bring in potential investors to invest in the market over the forecast period.
