The North American ETF market dominates in terms of sheer size, but it also continues to have significant momentum.

North American firms in the survey predicted ETF AUM will grow to $5.9trn by 2021, implying cumulative annual growth of 23%.

The European ETF market, while smaller relative to North America, is expected to grow by 27% annually, reaching $1.6trn of AUM by 2021.

Asia is currently the smallest market for ETFs. However, it appears poised for growth, particularly as markets become more integrated and regulations are further enhanced and streamlined to facilitate not only innovative products but also access to ETFs.

Asian firms in the survey predict assets will reach $560bn by 2021, corresponding to an 18% compound annual growth over the next five years.
