Customer preferences:
In Northern Europe, customers are increasingly turning to crowdfunding as a way to support innovative projects and ideas. Crowdfunding provides individuals with the opportunity to contribute to projects they believe in and have a direct impact on their development.

Additionally, crowdfunding platforms offer a wide range of projects to choose from, allowing customers to support causes that align with their personal interests and values.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the crowdfunding market in Northern Europe is the rise of reward-based crowdfunding. This type of crowdfunding allows individuals to contribute to a project in exchange for a reward or product. This trend is driven by the desire of customers to be part of the creative process and to receive tangible benefits in return for their support. Reward-based crowdfunding has become particularly popular in the creative industries, where artists, musicians, and filmmakers can raise funds to bring their projects to life. Another trend in the crowdfunding market in Northern Europe is the increasing use of crowdfunding for social and environmental causes. Customers in Northern Europe are known for their strong commitment to sustainability and social responsibility, and crowdfunding provides them with a platform to support projects that address these issues.

Northern Europe is home to a vibrant startup ecosystem, with a high number of tech-savvy individuals and a supportive business environment. This has created a fertile ground for crowdfunding, as entrepreneurs and innovators seek alternative funding options to bring their ideas to life. Additionally, the region's strong social welfare systems and government support for small businesses have created an environment where crowdfunding can thrive.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The growth of the crowdfunding market in Northern Europe is also influenced by underlying macroeconomic factors. The region has experienced stable economic growth in recent years, with low unemployment rates and high disposable incomes.

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.
