5paisa Market Wrap 2025: A Look Back at How India Traded, and How You Participated

As the year draws to a close, it’s a natural moment to pause, reflect, and look back, not just at where the markets moved, but at how we engaged with them.

At 5paisa, we believe that investing and trading are journeys shaped by participation, discipline, and learning. That belief is at the heart of our 5paisa Market Wrap 2025, a year-end initiative designed to offer insights into how India traded on 5paisa, and how each investor participated in their own unique way.

A Year in Markets, Through Data

Every trade, SIP, and investment decision contributes to a larger story. When viewed responsibly and in aggregate, this data offers a fascinating snapshot of retail participation across the country.

Our 5paisa Market Wrap 2025 brings together platform-level insights to highlight broader trends we observed in 2025, from cities that saw high trading activity to the asset classes that captured investor attention.

Key highlights include:

• Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Pune and Bengaluru emerged as the top five cities with the most active trading clients on the platform.
• Delhi and Mumbai also led SIP adoption, reflecting sustained long-term investing behaviour alongside active trading.
• In the commodity trading segment, Natural Gas dominated trading volumes on 5paisa, followed by Crude Oil, Copper and Gold, underlining strong retail interest in energy and metals through the year.

These insights are not about predicting markets or ranking outcomes. Instead, they help us understand how retail investors across India engaged with markets during the year reflecting curiosity, conviction, and evolving participation patterns.

Your Year in Review: A Personal Reflection

Alongside the macro view, we're in the process of creating a personal Market Wrap experience for 5paisa customers, available directly within the app.

This feature will offer customers a snapshot of their activity through 2025. From trading days and instruments explored to investing consistency and participation milestones, the experience is designed to be informational and reflective.

Importantly, it is not about returns or recommendations. Instead, it offers context, helping investors understand their behaviour, habits, and engagement with markets over time.

Why We Built This

Retail participation in Indian markets has grown rapidly, and with it comes the need for clarity and self-awareness.

The 5paisa Market Wrap initiative is our way of:

• Encouraging reflection over reaction
• Turning data into understanding, not noise
• Helping investors engage with share markets more consciously

By presenting insights responsibly, we hope to support better decision-making and deeper engagement without oversimplifying the complexities of investing.

Data, With Responsibility

As a regulated stockbroking platform, we’re mindful of how data is shared and interpreted. All platform-level insights are anonymised and aggregated, while personal insights are available only to individual customers within their secure app experience.

The intent is not to compare, compete, or gamify outcomes, but to inform, reflect, and learn.

As we step into a new year, we hope this reflection helps you better understand your journey so far, and move forward with greater confidence and clarity.
