The Stocks Market in Switzerland has shown negligible growth, influenced by factors such as global economic uncertainties, low interest rates, and a cautious investor sentiment, which have collectively hindered more robust market expansion in recent years.
Customer preferences: Investors in Switzerland are increasingly gravitating towards sustainable and socially responsible investment options, reflecting a growing awareness of environmental and social issues. This shift is partly fueled by younger generations who prioritize ethical considerations in their financial decisions. Additionally, the rise of fintech solutions is transforming how individuals engage with the stock market, making it more accessible. As remote work becomes more prevalent, there is also a noticeable trend towards investments that support digital infrastructure and technology-driven companies.
Trends in the market: In Switzerland, the stock market is experiencing a notable shift towards sustainable investing, as more investors prioritize environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria in their portfolios. This trend is particularly driven by the younger demographic, who are increasingly concerned about ethical implications of their investments. Furthermore, the fintech landscape is evolving, offering innovative platforms that democratize access to stock trading and enable fractional investing. As remote work continues to reshape economic activities, there is a growing focus on investing in technology firms that enhance digital connectivity and infrastructure, signaling a transformative phase for industry stakeholders.
Local special circumstances: In Switzerland, the stock market is uniquely influenced by its strong regulatory framework and emphasis on investor protection, fostering a stable environment for sustainable investing. The country’s cultural affinity for environmental stewardship is reflected in the increasing demand for ESG-compliant assets. Additionally, its geographical position as a financial hub in Europe attracts international investors seeking diverse opportunities. The presence of innovative fintech firms further enhances accessibility, promoting a vibrant ecosystem that empowers both seasoned and novice investors in the evolving landscape.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: The Swiss stock market is significantly shaped by macroeconomic factors such as stable economic growth, low unemployment rates, and prudent fiscal policies that encourage investment. The country’s strong GDP per capita and robust financial services sector create an attractive environment for both domestic and international investors. Furthermore, global economic trends, including shifts towards sustainable and responsible investing, enhance demand for ESG-compliant assets. Monetary policy from the Swiss National Bank, characterized by low interest rates, supports market liquidity, while geopolitical stability contributes to Switzerland's reputation as a safe haven for investments amidst global uncertainties.
Data coverage:
The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on market capitalization/ market volume/ number of trades/ number of listed domestic companies data within the stock market.Modeling approach / Market size:
Market sizes are determined by a bottom-up approach, building on a specific rationale for each market segment. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use market research & analysis, and data from Company Insights, World Bank, the Federation of Exchanges as well as stock exchanges, and publicly available databases. In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, consumer price index (CPI), total investment (% of GDP), trade (% of GDP), household income, internet penetration, deposit interest rate, lending interest rate, central bank interest rate, unemployment rate, internet penetration and online banking penetration. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.Forecasts:
In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the particular market. In the market, we use both the HOLT-damped Trend method and the ARIMA method to forecast future development. The main drivers are GDP per capita, consumer price index (CPI), and central bank interest rate. The scenario analysis is based on a Monte Carlo simulation approach generating a range of possible outcomes by creating random variations in forecasted data points, based on assumptions about potential fluctuations in future values. By running numerous simulated scenarios, the model provides an estimated distribution of results, allowing for an analysis of likely ranges and confidence intervals around the forecast.Additional notes:
The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war is considered at a country-specific level.Mon - Fri, 9am - 6pm (EST)
