Analyst Opinion

The Crowdfunding market in Ivory Coast is experiencing significant growth and development, driven by customer preferences, market trends, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors.

Customer preferences:
Crowdfunding platforms are becoming increasingly popular among Ivorian entrepreneurs and individuals seeking funding for their projects. This is due to several factors. Firstly, crowdfunding offers a more accessible and inclusive alternative to traditional financing options, such as bank loans, which may have stricter requirements and higher interest rates. Secondly, crowdfunding allows individuals to tap into a larger pool of potential investors, both locally and internationally, increasing their chances of securing funding. Lastly, crowdfunding platforms often provide additional benefits such as exposure to a wider audience, networking opportunities, and mentorship.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Crowdfunding market in Ivory Coast is the rise of reward-based crowdfunding. This type of crowdfunding allows individuals to offer rewards or incentives to backers in exchange for their financial support. This trend is driven by the desire of entrepreneurs to engage their target audience and build a loyal customer base from the early stages of their project. It also aligns with the preference of Ivorian consumers for tangible rewards and experiences. Another trend in the market is the emergence of crowdfunding platforms that focus on specific sectors or industries. For example, there are platforms dedicated to supporting agricultural projects, renewable energy initiatives, and social enterprises. This trend reflects the growing demand for crowdfunding solutions tailored to the unique needs and challenges of different sectors in Ivory Coast.

Local special circumstances:
Ivory Coast has a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem, with a growing number of startups and small businesses. However, access to financing remains a major challenge for many entrepreneurs, particularly those operating in underserved sectors or regions. Crowdfunding provides an alternative funding source for these entrepreneurs, enabling them to bring their ideas to life and contribute to the country's economic growth. Furthermore, the high mobile penetration rate in Ivory Coast has facilitated the growth of mobile-based crowdfunding platforms. These platforms leverage the widespread use of mobile phones to reach a larger audience and simplify the funding process. Mobile crowdfunding has become particularly popular among young entrepreneurs and individuals who may not have access to traditional banking services.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
Ivory Coast has experienced strong economic growth in recent years, driven by sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, and services. This economic growth has created a favorable environment for crowdfunding, as it has increased disposable income and consumer confidence. Additionally, the government has implemented policies to promote entrepreneurship and innovation, which has further stimulated the demand for crowdfunding. In conclusion, the Crowdfunding market in Ivory Coast is developing rapidly due to customer preferences for accessible and inclusive financing options, trends such as reward-based crowdfunding and sector-specific platforms, local special circumstances including the vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem and high mobile penetration rate, and underlying macroeconomic factors such as strong economic growth and government support for entrepreneurship.

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.
