January 2025
MarketFacts recently asked some members of our Board of Directors to share their thoughts on what 2025 will hold for the industry. Their responses are published in this January FORECAST 2025 issue. These 14 industry leaders had a lot on their minds.
Top of mind for them are several macroeconomic trends — high interest rates, ongoing inflation and market volatility — that continue to impact the industry. Also on the top of their minds are the regulatory climate, demographic shifts, new technologies, talent strategies and changing customer expectations.
