Analyst Opinion

The Crowdfunding market in Spain 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 Spain have played a crucial role in the development of the Crowdfunding market.

Spaniards have shown a growing interest in supporting innovative projects and startups, as well as social and environmental initiatives. This has led to a surge in the number of individuals and organizations turning to crowdfunding as a means of financing their ventures. The convenience and accessibility of online platforms have also contributed to the popularity of crowdfunding among Spanish consumers.

Trends in the market have further fueled the growth of crowdfunding in Spain. One notable trend is the increasing use of reward-based crowdfunding, where backers receive non-financial rewards in exchange for their contributions. This model has gained traction in Spain, as it allows individuals to support projects they believe in while also receiving a tangible benefit.

Additionally, equity crowdfunding has gained momentum in recent years, enabling individuals to invest in startups and small businesses in exchange for equity stakes. Local special circumstances have also played a role in the development of the Crowdfunding market in Spain. The country has a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem, with a large number of startups and small businesses seeking funding.

Traditional sources of financing, such as banks, have been less accessible to these ventures, leading them to explore alternative funding options like crowdfunding. Furthermore, Spain has a strong culture of community support and collaboration, making crowdfunding an appealing option for individuals and organizations looking to rally support for their projects. Underlying macroeconomic factors have also contributed to the growth of crowdfunding in Spain.

Following the global financial crisis, access to traditional financing became more challenging for many individuals and businesses. Crowdfunding emerged as an attractive alternative, offering a way to bypass traditional financial institutions and access funding directly from the crowd. The economic recovery in Spain has also created a more favorable environment for crowdfunding, with increased consumer confidence and disposable income.

In conclusion, the Crowdfunding market in Spain has experienced significant growth due to customer preferences, trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. Spaniards' interest in supporting innovative projects and startups, as well as the convenience of online platforms, has driven the popularity of crowdfunding. The use of reward-based and equity crowdfunding models, along with Spain's entrepreneurial ecosystem and culture of community support, have further fueled the market's growth.

The accessibility of crowdfunding as an alternative funding source in the aftermath of the financial crisis, coupled with the country's economic recovery, has also played a significant role in the market's development.

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.
