Success story continues

ETFs have now become an integral part of private investors' strategic asset accumulation. Managed ETF assets at brokers and digital banks in continental Europe are expected to reach a new record level of €341 billion in 2025, which is a 28% increase since 2024. This growth is driven by sustained inflows and the influx of many new private investors, who often start with small amounts. *

Number of savings plans continues to rise

The number of ETF savings plans executed each month across Europe is set to rise from 10.8 million in 2024 to 15.1 million in 2025, reaching a new all-time high.

This development is supported by neobanks such as N26, Revolut and Neon, as well as international brokers such as XTB and Saxo, who are constantly expanding their range of savings plans.

Large ETF providers are also increasingly focusing their European strategies on private investors, as ETF savings plans are now considered the most important source of growth in the private customer business. *

Larger savings volume, lower savings rate

The annual savings volume of ETF savings plans is expected to grow from €17.6 billion in 2024 to €22.7 billion (+29%) in 2025. However, the average savings rate is expected to fall from €136 to €125.30 due to micro, roundup, and children's accounts. *

ExtraETF sees potential for further growth

Around 53.7 million ETF savings plans are expected by 2030, corresponding to an annual savings volume of around €73 billion, with ETF assets at brokers and digital banks totalling just under €1 trillion. This is a clear indication of sustained structural growth. *
