In 2024, ** percent of adults in the United States invested in the stock market. This figure has remained steady over the last few years, and is still below the levels before the Great Recession, when it peaked in 2007 at ** percent. What is the stock market? The stock market can be defined as a group of stock exchanges, where investors can buy shares in a publicly traded company. In more recent years, it is estimated an increasing number of Americans are using neobrokers, making stock trading more accessible to investors. Other investments A significant number of people think stocks and bonds are the safest investments, while others point to real estate, gold, bonds, or a savings account. Since witnessing the significant one-day losses in the stock market during the Financial Crisis, many investors were turning towards these alternatives in hopes for more stability, particularly for investments with longer maturities. This could explain the decrease in this statistic since 2007. Nevertheless, some speculators enjoy chasing the short-run fluctuations, and others see value in choosing particular stocks.

The global mutual funds sales market is experiencing robust growth, driven by increasing investor awareness, favorable regulatory environments in several key regions, and the rising popularity of diversified investment strategies. The market size in 2025 is estimated at $25 trillion, exhibiting a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8% from 2025 to 2033. This growth trajectory is fueled by several key factors. The increasing penetration of digital platforms and online investment services is democratizing access to mutual funds, attracting a broader range of investors including millennials and Gen Z. Furthermore, the introduction of innovative fund products, such as ESG (environmental, social, and governance) focused funds and thematic funds, caters to evolving investor preferences and contributes to market expansion. Finally, the continued expansion of the middle class in emerging economies, especially in Asia-Pacific, presents a significant untapped market potential. However, market growth is not without its challenges. Geopolitical uncertainties, fluctuating interest rates, and potential regulatory changes pose risks. Furthermore, competition among established players and the emergence of fintech companies offering alternative investment vehicles present a dynamic competitive landscape. While direct sales channels remain significant, indirect sales through financial advisors and intermediaries are witnessing significant growth as investors seek personalized guidance and wealth management services. Segment-wise, stock funds continue to dominate the market, followed by bond funds and hybrid funds. The market’s diverse geographical spread, with significant contributions from North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, presents both opportunities and regional-specific challenges depending on economic conditions and regulatory landscapes. The forecast period (2025-2033) is expected to see continued growth, although the rate of expansion may fluctuate based on macroeconomic factors.

Global investment in energy efficiency reached 0.38 trillion U.S. dollars in 2023, marking a significant commitment to sustainable practices worldwide. This figure represents a slight decrease from the previous year but is projected to grow by nearly 10 percent by 2030, based on current and proposed energy and infrastructure policies. The increasing focus on energy efficiency underscores its crucial role in addressing climate change and reducing global energy consumption. Challenges in meeting energy intensity goals Despite the substantial investment in energy efficiency, progress toward meeting global energy intensity targets remains slow. In 2021, primary energy intensity decreased by only 0.8 percent year-over-year, falling short of the annual 3.8 percent improvement needed to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal target of doubling the global rate of energy intensity improvement between 2010 and 2030, compared to the average in the period between 1990 and 2010. This gap highlights the need for accelerated efforts and increased investment in energy-efficient technologies and practices across all sectors. Regional variations in energy efficiency investments Investment patterns in clean energy vary significantly across regions, reflecting different priorities and economic conditions. In 2024, the Asia Pacific region was estimated to invest nearly 218 billion U.S. dollars in energy efficiency and end-use energy, of which over 85 percent in China. In contrast, the United States' investment in energy efficiency and end-use of energy was below 90 billion U.S. dollars.

Global investments in clean energy and energy efficiency are outpacing those in fossil fuels, with China and the United States leading the charge. However, while China and the U.S. prioritized clean energy investments, other regions show varying priorities. Regional disparities in energy investments The Middle East, Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia continued to invest more heavily in fossil fuels than in clean energy, while the European Union stood out with a remarkably high ratio of clean to fossil energy investment, approximately ** times higher. China's commitment to renewable power is particularly striking, accounting for nearly ** percent of estimated global investment in renewable energy sources in 2025. The country’s renewable energy capacity was by far the largest in the world in 2024, surpassing the U.S. by a factor of ****. Global energy sources In 2022, around ********* of the energy consumed in the world was produced using oil, while the overall contribution of fossil fuels to the energy mix was over ** percent. China and the U.S. were the largest energy-producing and -consuming countries in the world, but despite their investment in renewable energy, both their energy sectors relied on fossil fuels. By comparison, Latin America and the Caribbean had the highest rate of renewable power consumed in the world, almost ****** that recorded in North America and Asia.
