The Digital Capital Raising market in Malta has been steadily growing in recent years, driven by customer preferences for alternative funding options and the local special circumstances that make Malta an attractive destination for digital capital raising.
Customer preferences: Maltese entrepreneurs and businesses are increasingly turning to digital capital raising platforms as a way to access funding. This is due to several factors, including the ease and convenience of online fundraising, the ability to reach a wider pool of potential investors, and the potential for faster funding compared to traditional methods. Additionally, the rise of crowdfunding platforms has opened up new opportunities for individuals to invest in startups and innovative projects, further fueling the growth of the digital capital raising market in Malta.
Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the digital capital raising market in Malta is the growth of Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs). ICOs have gained popularity as a way for startups to raise funds by issuing digital tokens or cryptocurrencies. Malta has positioned itself as a leading jurisdiction for ICOs, with the government introducing a regulatory framework to attract blockchain and cryptocurrency companies. This has led to an influx of blockchain startups and ICO projects in Malta, contributing to the growth of the digital capital raising market. Another trend in the market is the emergence of peer-to-peer lending platforms. These platforms connect borrowers directly with lenders, bypassing traditional financial institutions. Peer-to-peer lending has gained traction in Malta as an alternative to traditional bank loans, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that may have difficulty accessing financing through traditional channels. The convenience and flexibility of peer-to-peer lending platforms have made them an attractive option for both borrowers and lenders.
Local special circumstances: Malta's strategic location in the Mediterranean, its membership in the European Union, and its favorable business environment make it an attractive destination for digital capital raising. The Maltese government has been proactive in creating a supportive regulatory framework for blockchain and cryptocurrency companies, positioning Malta as a hub for digital innovation. This has attracted international investors and startups to the country, further driving the growth of the digital capital raising market.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: The growth of the digital capital raising market in Malta is also influenced by underlying macroeconomic factors. Malta has experienced strong economic growth in recent years, with a focus on sectors such as financial services, gaming, and technology. This has created a favorable business environment for startups and entrepreneurs, driving demand for digital capital raising. Additionally, Malta's small size and close-knit business community make it easier for entrepreneurs to network and access potential investors, further supporting the growth of the digital capital raising market.

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. The scenario analysis is based on a Monte Carlo simulation approach generating a range of possible outcomes by creating random variations in forecasted data points, based on assumptions about potential fluctuations in future values. By running numerous simulated scenarios, the model provides an estimated distribution of results, allowing for an analysis of likely ranges and confidence intervals around the forecast.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.
