ETF Market Dynamics: 2025 in Review

January 23, 2026--"With ETF assets currently hovering at 25% of mutual funds, and forecasts it can grow to 40%, this points to a promising 2026 and beyond", Eamonn O’Callaghan, group product manager at CACEIS Ireland Limited
Growth
Following the same trend as previous years, ETF assets continue to grow rapidly. In 2025 inflows peaked at >$333bn, representing significant 36.7%YTD growth.

September marked a new milestone with total ETP assets rising above the $3trn mark. Many commentators point to ETF assets doubling by 2030 with 2025 certainly viewed as a building block to reach that target. New kids on the block

The influx of new asset managers entering the ETF space has continued with 25 new entrants over the past year. This was largely comprised of US managers looking beyond their borders to distribute product into Europe and domestic European managers stepping into the ETF space for the first time.

The flexibility and recognition of the UCITS wrapper is important in these decisions. UCITS products can be sold across Europe and there are also a number of markets outside of Europe where they can be distributed, such as Hong Kong, Singapore, Chile and Mexico.

ECB-Meeting of 17-18 December 2025-Account of the monetary policy meeting of the Governing Council of the European Central Bank

January 22, 2026-Held in Frankfurt am Main
1. Review of financial, economic and monetary developments and policy options Financial market developments
Ms Schnabel started her presentation by noting that, since the Governing Council's previous monetary policy meeting on 29-30 October 2025, the financial market narrative that ECB interest rates were in a good place had been further consolidated. Incoming data had reinforced expectations that inflation would remain close to the 2% target over the medium term and that the euro area economy would grow at a rate near potential.

On the back of the resilient economy and stickier services inflation, expectations of further rate cuts had vanished, with both markets and survey participants expecting policy rates to remain at their current levels for an extended period. Better than expected macroeconomic data and the reappraisal of monetary policy expectations had also pushed longer-term risk-free rates higher, a development driven by real rates, while the euro exchange rate had remained within a narrow range. Strong global risk sentiment had kept equity markets at high levels, while sovereign and corporate bond spreads had remained compressed and volatility in euro area money markets had remained limited.

Overall, euro area financial conditions had tightened slightly since October 2025 but had fluctuated in a narrow range since the ECB's last rate cut in June 2025, remaining closely aligned with its key policy rates.
