Trade Surveillance Systems Market: 2025-2029

Regulatory pressure is a key driving force for innovation in the trade surveillance systems market, as financial institutions and other businesses strive to meet increasingly stringent compliance requirements and avoid costly fines. Emerging regulations, such as amendments to the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) and the Markets in Financial Institutions Directive (MiFID) II, are driving the adoption of trade surveillance systems; as they require that financial firms capture scopes of trade activity data and store this data for longer. We anticipate growth for communications surveillance tools, as these tools become more vital in monitoring market abuse and in broadening the scope of communication platforms which are covered by these tools, to better flag risk. Financial professionals now rely on an ever-expanding array of tools, including traditional phone calls, emails, text messages, WhatsApp, WeChat, SMS, and LINE, among others. This need for broadening the scope comes from the proliferation of communication platforms that emerged due to the COVID-XX pandemic; as these have created vulnerabilities for firms which are continuing to continue a work-from-home model.
