Analyst Opinion

The Crowdfunding market in Philippines has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, driven by customer preferences, trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. Customer preferences in the Philippines have played a crucial role in the development of the Crowdfunding market.

Filipinos have shown a strong inclination towards supporting social causes and entrepreneurial ventures. This has led to a rise in the popularity of donation-based crowdfunding platforms, where individuals can contribute to projects or campaigns that align with their values and interests. Additionally, the younger population in the country, who are more tech-savvy and socially conscious, are actively participating in crowdfunding campaigns, further fueling the growth of the market.

Trends in the market have also contributed to the development of the Crowdfunding industry in the Philippines. One notable trend is the emergence of reward-based crowdfunding platforms, where backers receive non-financial rewards in exchange for their contributions. This model has gained traction among creative entrepreneurs, such as artists, musicians, and designers, who can offer unique and exclusive products or experiences to their supporters.

The popularity of reward-based crowdfunding has created opportunities for local artists and entrepreneurs to showcase their talents and gain financial support to bring their projects to life. Local special circumstances have also played a role in shaping the Crowdfunding market in the Philippines. The country has a large population of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) who are looking for alternative investment opportunities to support their families back home.

Crowdfunding platforms provide a convenient and accessible way for OFWs to invest in local businesses or projects, enabling them to contribute to the country's economic development while earning potential returns on their investments. This unique circumstance has contributed to the growth of the Crowdfunding market in the Philippines. Underlying macroeconomic factors have also influenced the development of the Crowdfunding market in the Philippines.

The country has experienced steady economic growth in recent years, with a growing middle class and an expanding entrepreneurial ecosystem. This has created a favorable environment for crowdfunding, as more individuals and businesses seek alternative sources of funding to support their ventures. Additionally, the government has recognized the potential of crowdfunding as a tool for economic development and has implemented policies and regulations to support the industry, further driving its growth.

In conclusion, the Crowdfunding market in the Philippines has been growing rapidly due to customer preferences, trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. The strong inclination towards supporting social causes and entrepreneurial ventures, the emergence of reward-based crowdfunding, the presence of a large overseas Filipino worker population, and the favorable macroeconomic environment have all contributed to the development of the market. As these factors continue to evolve, the Crowdfunding industry in the Philippines is expected to further expand and diversify in the coming years.

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.
