Dublin, Feb. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Investment Banking Market Report 2026” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The investment banking market has experienced robust growth in recent years and is projected to expand even further. From 2025 to 2026, the market size is expected to increase from $150.49 billion to $161.39 billion, at a CAGR of 7.2%. Key drivers for this growth include rising corporate restructuring activities, expansion of global capital markets, increased demand for advisory-led financing, the growth of institutional investment activities, and the heightened complexity of financial regulations.
The investment banking market is forecasted to reach $218.16 billion by 2030, accelerating at a CAGR of 7.8%. This growth will be driven by rising demand for sustainable finance advisory, the adoption of AI-driven deal analytics, the rapid expansion of private capital markets, a focused approach on sector-specialized advisory services, and increasing cross-border investment activity. Noteworthy trends include the rising use of data-driven M&A advisory, digital capital raising platforms, integration of ESG advisory services, and enhanced risk and compliance analytics capabilities.
Stricter capital requirements, which banks must comply with to ensure financial stability, are anticipated to bolster the investment banking market. An uptick in capital-raising initiatives has led banks to actively seek advisory services to optimize their capital structures. Investment banks play a crucial role in these initiatives. For instance, the European Central Bank reported an increase in Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) requirements to 10.7% of RWA for 2023. This trend is expected to continue driving market growth.
The sector is witnessing significant technological advancements, with major companies enhancing their service offerings to meet the growing need for faster decision-making and improved market access. For example, in August 2025, JPMorgan launched a revamped digital trading platform, incorporating research, analytics, execution, and post-trade services into a unified system. This platform is accessible across multiple channels, improving efficiency and enabling data-driven investment decisions.
Strategic acquisitions, such as JLL’s purchase of Javelin Capital in March 2025, underline the industry’s focus on expanding capabilities in clean-energy investment banking. JLL aims to enhance its advisory services in energy transition, focusing on renewable infrastructure financing and decarbonization support.
Among the prominent players shaping the investment banking landscape are JPMorgan Chase & Co., Bank of America Corporation, HSBC Holdings plc, Citigroup Inc., Morgan Stanley, and Goldman Sachs Group Inc., among others. Geographically, North America held the largest share of the market in 2025, followed by Asia-Pacific. The regions covered in investment banking market reports include Asia-Pacific, Western and Eastern Europe, North and South America, and the Middle East and Africa, encompassing a wide range of key economies.
The investment banking market’s value is driven by the revenues generated from underwriting securities and the fees paid for these services. This market primarily involves the underwriting, origination, and maintenance of securities issuance, alongside other corporate finance services. Goods and services traded to end consumers within specified geographic markets contribute to this valuation, excluding resales along the supply chain.
