Smartphones facilitate convenient, on-the-go access to micro-investment platforms, allowing users to track and manage portfolios, receive real-time notifications, and execute instant transactions with minimal effort. For example, in November 2024, the Global System for Mobile Communications Association, a UK-based non-profit organization representing mobile network operators, reported that smartphone connections worldwide reached 4.3 billion in 2023, accounting for around 54% of all mobile connections, with the total projected to increase to 6.3 billion by 2030. Additionally, by 2025, the UK population is expected to reach 68.3 million, with approximately 95% or about 65 million people owning smartphones. Consequently, the growing penetration of smartphones is fueling the expansion of the micro investing platform market.

Key players in the micro investing platform market are leveraging technological advances such as robo-advisory platforms to improve portfolio personalization, investment automation, and overall user experience.
