The Asia-Pacific capital market exchange ecosystem is experiencing robust growth, driven by increasing financialization in the region's rapidly developing economies. A compound annual growth rate (CAGR) exceeding 7% from 2019 to 2024 suggests a significant market expansion, projected to continue into the forecast period (2025-2033).
