The private markets industry is entering a new era. After years of steady institutional expansion, a major shift is underway: private markets are opening their doors to a wider community of high-net-worth investors, family offices, and wealth managers. This transformation — widely referred to as the Wealth Revolution — is reshaping how capital is raised, allocated, and distributed globally.
At the center of this movement stands IPEM Wealth 2026, the Cannes-based event that has become the key platform where the future of private wealth and private markets is being written.
A Market on Track to Hit $30 Trillion
In a recent conversation with Fanny Berthon (Club Patrimoine), Antoine Colson, CEO of IPEM, underscored the exceptional rise of private equity since 2016. With industry forecasts predicting that private markets could grow to US $30 trillion by 2030, the momentum is undeniable.
What is driving this rapid expansion?
- The entrance of new categories of investors
- Rising demand for alternative assets
- Flexible fund formats such as evergreen and hybrid structures
- New digital tools enabling broader access to private capital
Private markets are no longer an exclusive playground — they are becoming a mainstream asset class.
