The Forex and CFD industry has gone through massive transformations over the past years. According to a recent report by global market research company IMARC Group, the global online trading platform market size reached $10.9 billion in 2024.
Looking ahead, IMARC Group forecasts the market will reach $17.5 billion by 2033, with an annual compound growth rate (CAGR) of 5.39% during 2025 - 2033.
Technological advancements such as algorithmic trading and the rising popularity of mobile-friendly, easy to use platforms from anywhere and at any time have fuelled the sector’s growth.
Additionally, enhanced internet connectivity and the widespread adoption of agile Forex and CFD trading solutions providing a secure environment for high-frequency trading and integrated operations management are gaining significant traction amongst brokerage industry players.
Trends, Challenges, and Opportunities
iTech Software, a leading provider of turnkey technology solutions for the Forex and CFD industry, noticed that brokers’ growing demand for high-performance, mobile-first trading infrastructures is directly correlated with traders’ preference for platforms that provide easier access to the financial markets.
According to the fintech provider, this trend will continue as the demand for personalised trading experiences will rise amid an ongoing expansion of the trading technology sector driven by the evolving demands of an increasingly financially literate audience.
In parallel, iTech Software also underscores the importance of integrating cryptocurrencies and other digital assets such as NFTs, as traders are becoming increasingly aware of both the risks and opportunities that these financial products offer. By adding cryptocurrencies and NFTs to their portfolio, Forex and CFD brokers can gain a competitive edge within the crypto community.
At the core of the industry’s ongoing transformation is data security, which alarmingly will remain a challenge for brokers in 2025 and beyond. Phishing scams or other forms of social engineering duping users to disclose sensitive information, such as login credentials or financial details are among the most widespread types of cyberthreats facing the Forex and CFD industry.
To prevent severe damage and loss of access to sensitive data, brokers must implement steadfast security solutions to safeguard their clients’ private data. Advanced solutions often come at a high cost, which is a predicament, especially for startup brokers. This is where iTech Software makes every difference.
Offering an integrated stack designed for brokers, with traders in mind, iTech’s White Label platform for Forex, CFD, crypto, and NFT brokers provides a viable alternative to the industry standard.
