Analyst Opinion

The Crowdfunding market in France has been witnessing significant growth in recent years, driven by various factors such as changing customer preferences, emerging trends, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors.

Customer preferences:
In France, customers are increasingly drawn towards Crowdfunding as a means to support innovative projects and startups. They appreciate the opportunity to contribute to the development of new ideas and products, and feel a sense of ownership and pride in being part of the journey. Additionally, customers are attracted to the transparency and direct engagement that Crowdfunding platforms offer, allowing them to have a closer connection with the projects they support.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Crowdfunding market in France is the rise of equity-based Crowdfunding. This form of Crowdfunding allows individuals to invest in startups and small businesses in exchange for equity or shares. The appeal of equity-based Crowdfunding lies in the potential for financial returns, as investors can benefit from the success of the ventures they support. This trend has been facilitated by regulatory changes that have made it easier for startups to raise funds through equity-based Crowdfunding platforms. Another trend in the market is the growing popularity of reward-based Crowdfunding. This type of Crowdfunding involves individuals contributing money to a project in exchange for a non-financial reward, such as a product or a service. This trend is driven by the desire for unique and exclusive experiences, as well as the opportunity to be part of a community of like-minded individuals who share similar interests.

Local special circumstances:
France has a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem, with a strong emphasis on innovation and creativity. This has created a fertile ground for Crowdfunding, as entrepreneurs and startups seek alternative sources of funding to bring their ideas to life. Additionally, the French government has been supportive of Crowdfunding, implementing policies and regulations that encourage its growth. This support has helped to build trust and confidence among investors, further fueling the Crowdfunding market.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The Crowdfunding market in France has also been influenced by underlying macroeconomic factors. The low interest rate environment in the country has made traditional investment options less attractive, leading individuals to seek alternative investment opportunities. Crowdfunding provides a platform for individuals to diversify their investment portfolios and potentially earn higher returns. Furthermore, the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for alternative funding sources, as traditional financing channels have become more restrictive. Crowdfunding has emerged as a viable solution for entrepreneurs and small businesses to access capital during these challenging times. In conclusion, the Crowdfunding market in France is witnessing significant growth due to changing customer preferences, emerging trends such as equity-based and reward-based Crowdfunding, local special circumstances such as a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem and government support, and underlying macroeconomic factors such as low interest rates and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. These factors are driving the development of the Crowdfunding market in France and are expected to continue shaping its growth in the future.

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.
