Dublin, Feb. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Micro Investing Application Market Report 2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The micro investing application market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.77 billion in 2025 to $2.08 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in smartphone-based financial applications, increasing participation of first-time investors, expansion of digital banking ecosystems, rising demand for low-entry investment options, improved access to online brokerage services. 
The micro investing application market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.93 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing integration of ai-based portfolio recommendations, rising demand for sustainable micro-investment products, expansion of crypto-enabled micro investing, increasing regulatory clarity for fintech platforms, higher focus on long-term wealth-building tools.
Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of fractional share investing models, increasing use of automated micro-savings features, growing integration of gamified investment interfaces, expansion of multi-asset micro investment options, enhanced focus on financial literacy tools.
Rising internet penetration is driving growth in the micro-investing application market by increasing access to digital financial tools. Internet penetration measures the share of the population that uses the internet regularly, reflecting overall digital connectivity. The rise in affordable smartphones and widespread network availability has enabled more people, particularly in developing regions, to connect online and access financial services. Micro-investing applications leverage this connectivity to allow users to invest small amounts conveniently via smartphones, democratizing access to financial markets. For instance, in 2024, approximately 5.5 billion people were using the internet, up by 227 million from 2023, according to the International Telecommunication Union.
Major companies are introducing innovative micro-investing apps to simplify investment processes and promote financial inclusion. These mobile platforms enable users to invest small sums automatically, attracting first-time investors and those with limited funds. For example, in May 2024, Future Money, a US-based fintech company, launched an app allowing parents to set up investment accounts for their children with features such as Junior Roth IRAs, automated portfolios, and tax-advantaged options, supporting long-term wealth-building for families across income levels.
In May 2025, Acorns Grow Incorporated acquired EarlyBird, integrating custodial investment and gifting features into its platform. This move enhanced Acorns' capabilities in family financial planning, attracted younger investors early, and reinforced long-term multi-generational wealth-building tools. EarlyBird specializes in micro-investing applications focused on children's future investments.
