Analyst Opinion

The Crowdfunding market in Colombia has been experiencing significant growth in recent years.

Customer preferences:
Colombian consumers have shown a growing interest in supporting innovative projects and startups through crowdfunding. This is partly due to the fact that traditional financing options can be difficult to access for small businesses and entrepreneurs in the country. Crowdfunding provides an alternative way for these individuals to raise funds and gain support from the community. Additionally, consumers in Colombia are becoming more tech-savvy and comfortable with online transactions, which has contributed to the popularity of crowdfunding platforms.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the crowdfunding market in Colombia is the rise of reward-based crowdfunding. This type of crowdfunding allows individuals to contribute to a project or business in exchange for a reward or product. This trend is driven by the desire of consumers to be part of something innovative and to receive unique products or experiences in return for their support. Reward-based crowdfunding has become particularly popular in sectors such as technology, fashion, and food and beverage. Another trend in the market is the increasing use of crowdfunding for social causes and philanthropy. Colombians have shown a strong interest in supporting charitable initiatives and social projects through crowdfunding platforms. This trend reflects a growing awareness and concern for social issues in the country, as well as a desire to make a positive impact in their communities. Crowdfunding has provided a platform for individuals and organizations to raise funds for causes such as education, healthcare, and environmental conservation.

Local special circumstances:
Colombia has a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem, with a growing number of startups and small businesses. However, access to traditional financing can be challenging for these ventures. Crowdfunding has emerged as a viable alternative for entrepreneurs to raise capital and gain exposure for their projects. In addition, the Colombian government has implemented policies to support entrepreneurship and innovation, which has further fueled the growth of the crowdfunding market.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The growth of the crowdfunding market in Colombia can be attributed to several macroeconomic factors. The country has experienced a period of economic stability and growth in recent years, which has created a favorable environment for entrepreneurship and investment. Additionally, the increasing penetration of internet and mobile technology has made it easier for individuals to participate in crowdfunding campaigns. The rise of social media has also played a significant role in the growth of crowdfunding, as it allows projects to reach a wider audience and gain exposure. In conclusion, the crowdfunding market in Colombia is experiencing significant growth due to customer preferences for innovative projects, the rise of reward-based crowdfunding, and the increasing use of crowdfunding for social causes. Local special circumstances, such as the vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem and government support for entrepreneurship, have further contributed to the growth of the market. Underlying macroeconomic factors, such as economic stability and the increasing penetration of internet and mobile technology, have also played a significant role in the development of the crowdfunding market in Colombia.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on transaction values / revenues / assets under management and user data of relevant services and products offered within the FinTech market.

Modeling approach / Market size:

Market sizes are determined through a combined top-down and bottom-up approach, building on a specific rationale for each market segment. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of key players, industry reports, third-party reports, publicly available databases, and survey results from primary research (e.g., the Statista Global Consumer Survey). In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, consumer spending, population, internet penetration, smartphone penetration, credit card penetration, and online banking penetration. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

Forecasts:

In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing are well suited for forecasting digital products and services due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption.

Additional notes:

The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war is considered at a country-specific level.
