Revenue in Europe’s Convention and Trade Show Organisations industry is anticipated to drop at a compound annual rate of 7.2% to €30.4 billion over the five years through 2024. The sink in revenue over the period is predominantly due to the significant damage the COVID-19 outbreak inflicted on the sector, as convention and trade show organisations were shut down temporarily or operated at limited capacity. The industry has weathered unfavourable economic headwinds since the COVID-19 outbreak, as inflationary pressures hit the Eurozone, limiting significant investment into new projects, compounded by lacklustre business sentiment. As a result, convention and trade show organisations' revenue is set to decline by 1.5% in 2024. The industry's key clientele is the commercial enterprises whose participation in events like trade shows and conventions mainly depends on their economic outlook. Private individuals are more likely to attend events during a positive consumer climate. This directly influences the appeal for companies to showcase themselves as exhibitors at trade shows. Inflationary pressures are set to ease over 2024, with promising signs in the latter end of 2023 strengthening business and consumer sentiment to the benefit of the industry. Revenue is projected to swell at a compound annual rate of 4.2% over the five years through 2029 to €37,1 billion. The industry is set to benefit from Europe’s improving economy in the coming years as markets stabilise and clients begin to expand investment, requiring the services of convention and trade show organisations. The industry’s growth will be squeezed by growth in telecommunications and digitalisation after consumers were forced onto online teleconferencing amid COVID-19 disruptions to travel. Continued growth in online substitutes to the industry will prove detrimental to the industry, with convention and trade show organisations adapting by implementing their own digitalisation efforts.

ETF Market Size 2025-2029

The ETF market size is forecast to increase by USD 17.94 billion at a CAGR of 20.2% between 2024 and 2029.

The market continues to experience robust growth, with increasing institutional adoption and investor preference for cost-effective, diversified investment solutions. One of the key drivers propelling this market forward is the expansion of bond ETFs, blockchains which now account for over one-third of the total assets under management. This trend is expected to persist, as fixed income securities offer attractive yields in the current low-interest-rate environment. However, the market is not without its challenges. A significant concern is the potential for transaction risks, particularly in illiquid securities. This risk can lead to price discrepancies between the ETF's net asset value and its market price, potentially resulting in losses for investors.
Additionally, market volatility and sudden price movements can exacerbate these risks, making it crucial for market participants to closely monitor market conditions and adjust their strategies accordingly. Companies seeking to capitalize on the growth opportunities in the market while mitigating transaction risks may consider focusing on liquid securities and implementing robust risk management strategies.
