Corporate Shareholder Services Market Expansion: The Major Factor Driving Growth
The expansion of the corporate shareholder services market is expected to be propelled by increasing shareholder activism in the future. Shareholder activism encompasses actions taken by shareholders to exert influence over a company’s operations or strategic direction, aiming to boost performance or resolve issues related to governance and ethics. This rise in shareholder activism is largely due to investors’ growing demand for greater corporate transparency and accountability. Corporate shareholder services support shareholder activism by providing essential tools and platforms that streamline communication, voting processes, and access to crucial corporate information. For example, in June 2024, the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance, a US-based online platform dedicated to discussions on corporate governance and financial regulation, reported that shareholder activism in the U.S. increased by 8% in the first half of 2024 compared to 2023, with activists targeting 446 companies and securing nearly 80% of board seats in the first quarter. Therefore, the growing shareholder activism is indeed driving the growth of the corporate shareholder services market.
