However, the market is small, with about 32,000 retail traders.
Moreover, five providers account for the majority of the share in the local industry.
Italy's
leverage trading market has emerged as one of the most valuable in Europe, with
traders managing larger portfolios and utilizing higher margins per trade
compared to their continental counterparts, according to a new report from
financial services research firm Investment Trends.
Italian Leverage Trading
Market Outpaces European Peers in Value
The 2024
Italy Leverage Trading Report reveals that Italian traders, with an average
age of 51, are committing higher margins per trade and maintaining larger
portfolio sizes than traders in other European countries.
"Italian
traders are not just looking for financial opportunities; they seek reliability
and cultural alignment in their trading platforms," said Lorenzo Vignati,
Associate Research Director at Investment Trends. “Providers must recognize
their unique needs and preferences to gain their trust.”
According
to data provided by Investment Trends, the average margin per trade for Italian
traders is approximately €1,500. Although the number of Italian FX/CFD traders
is one of the smallest in Europe, standing at around 32,000, their transactions
have one of the highest average values.
Only the
French have fewer traders than the Italians. The local FX/CFD trading scene,
however, has
seen a more pronounced decline, returning to pre-COVID-19 levels. On the
local market, investors clearly value stocks or ETFs more than the leveraged
instruments market.
Local Experience Is a Must
The report also
highlights the importance of local presence for leverage trading providers in
Italy. Establishing a local office, offering Italian language support, and
providing culturally relevant customer service are crucial factors in fostering
perceptions of being local and enhancing brand trust among traders. For
example, at the end of March, the Trade.com
decided to make such a move.
Comparison
websites play a significant role in the decision-making process for Italian
traders, with 17% heavily relying on these platforms. The market is relatively
concentrated, with the top five providers controlling nearly 60% of primary
relationships.
"Driving
sign-ups in this concentrated market requires a robust strategy encompassing
online presence, user-friendly platforms, and strong financial backing,"
Vignati added. “Trading providers must ensure not only a local presence but
also excel in platform usability and financial strength.”
The report
also identifies a potential area for differentiation among providers:
satisfying the high demand for educational content and trading ideas. Providers offering relevant educational resources and trading alerts could position themselves as trustworthy sources and better support Italian traders' trading journeys.
Investment
Trends conducted the study between March and April 2024, surveying 1,286 FX/CFD
traders in Italy. This is another in a series of country-oriented reports on
the retail trading industry, following
a similar study concerning the Middle Eastern market, specifically the
United Arab Emirates (UAE), shared by the company last week.
