The cumulative wealth of the world’s richest households will more than double, to $202 trillion over the next ten years, according to a study conducted by the Deloitte Center for Financial Services and Oxford Economics.
Based on data from 25 developed and developing economies, the number of households in those countries with more than $1 million in wealth will increase from 37,978 at the end of last year to 65,521 by 2020. Their wealth holdings, which include financial assets (stocks, bonds and other investments,), as well as non-financial assets (primary residences, durables, business equity and other assets), will more than double from $92 trillion to $202 trillion.
The projections are based on a breakdown of current wealth holdings, projected global growth rates, interest rates, asset prices, and investing patterns of the countries in question. The estimates are based on data from the Oxford Economics Global Model.
Not surprisingly, fast-growing emerging economies such as China, Brazil and India will experience the fastest growth in millionaires’ wealth. For example, the number of millionaire households in China is projected to grow from 1.312 million to 2.5 million by 2020 — and the total wealth they hold will rise from $1.67 trillion to $8.24 trillion.
