Analyst Opinion

The Crowdfunding market in Nepal has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, driven by a combination of customer preferences, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors.

Customer preferences:
Nepali customers have shown a growing interest in supporting innovative projects and social causes through crowdfunding platforms. This can be attributed to a shift in consumer behavior towards socially responsible investing and a desire to make a positive impact in their communities. Additionally, crowdfunding provides individuals with a unique opportunity to contribute to projects that align with their personal interests and values. This customer preference for crowdfunding has contributed to the increasing popularity of such platforms in Nepal.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the crowdfunding market in Nepal is the rise of donation-based crowdfunding. This type of crowdfunding allows individuals and organizations to raise funds for charitable causes, disaster relief efforts, and community development projects. The success of donation-based crowdfunding can be attributed to the strong sense of community and philanthropy in Nepal, where people are eager to support those in need. Another trend in the market is the emergence of reward-based crowdfunding. This type of crowdfunding allows entrepreneurs and creative individuals to raise funds for their projects by offering rewards or products to their backers. This trend is driven by the growing number of young entrepreneurs and artists in Nepal who are seeking alternative funding options to bring their ideas to life.

Local special circumstances:
Nepal is a country with a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem, with a significant number of startups and small businesses looking for funding opportunities. However, traditional financing options are often limited and difficult to access for these entrepreneurs. Crowdfunding platforms provide a viable alternative for them to raise capital and gain exposure to a wider audience. Additionally, the strong sense of community and social networks in Nepal make it an ideal environment for crowdfunding, as people are more likely to support projects initiated by individuals they know or trust.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The development of the crowdfunding market in Nepal can also be attributed to underlying macroeconomic factors. The country has experienced steady economic growth in recent years, which has led to an increase in disposable income and a growing middle class. This has created a larger pool of potential backers who are willing to invest in innovative projects and support local entrepreneurs. Furthermore, the rapid growth of internet and mobile penetration in Nepal has made it easier for individuals to access crowdfunding platforms and participate in the crowdfunding process. In conclusion, the crowdfunding market in Nepal is developing rapidly due to customer preferences for socially responsible investing, the rise of donation-based and reward-based crowdfunding, local special circumstances such as a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem and strong community networks, and underlying macroeconomic factors such as economic growth and increased internet and mobile penetration. These factors have created a favorable environment for the growth of crowdfunding platforms in Nepal, providing individuals and organizations with new opportunities to raise funds and support innovative projects.

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.
