Robo-advisors, already valued at $1.4 trillion in 2024, are poised for explosive growth over the next decade, according to a new report from Market Research Intellect. The study projects that from 2026 through 2033, the robo-advice market will expand at a 10.5% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), reaching $3.2 trillion by 2033. 

The expansion will be fueled by a convergence of factors: greater adoption of digital wealth platforms, demand for lower-cost investment solutions, and increasing interest in AI-driven portfolio customization. Younger generations are also driving momentum, with rising financial literacy and a preference for mobile-first, gamified financial tools that offer intuitive dashboards and AI-powered planning features. 

Market Research highlighted that the trend is part of a broader digital transformation in financial services, as traditional wealth management shifts away from heavy reliance on human advisors toward automated, data-driven platforms. Integration of artificial intelligence, big data, and machine learning is reducing the need for manual oversight and enabling providers to scale offerings efficiently. 

Supportive regulation is further boosting adoption, with governments promoting digital advice platforms as a means to enhance transparency, inclusivity, and access in financial markets. “As customer trust grows and regulations continue to support transparency, robo advisors will become a central pillar in wealth management,” the report concluded.
