Therefore, rise in demand for effective trade drives the growth of the algorithmic trading market, as it enables the user to quickly execute trades.     

Emergence of AI and algorithms in the financial services 

Maximum number of financial services companies are increasing their AI and machine learning adoption to capitalize on the data from digitally driven channels.
