Revenue from high-frequency stock trading may increase by about 22 percent to $2.2 billion in 2013 as volume in U.S. equity markets rebounds following a three-year slump, according to Tabb Group LLC.

Trading volume may increase by 6 percent this year after declining from 2010 to 2012, Adam Sussman, director of research at Tabb, predicted in the report. High-frequency trading revenue reached $7.2 billion at its peak in 2009 before declining to $1.8 billion in 2012, the report said.
