The valuables custody service market has witnessed substantial growth and is set to expand from $26.4 billion in 2025 to $28.55 billion in 2026, marking a CAGR of 8.1%. This growth reflects a spike in high-net-worth populations, document security prioritization, corporate governance enhancements, and an increased demand for legal and financial documentation services.
