Analyst Opinion

The Crowdfunding market in Czechia has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences, emerging trends in the market, and local special circumstances.

Customer preferences: In Czechia, customers are increasingly turning to crowdfunding as a way to support innovative projects and ideas. They are attracted to the concept of being part of a community that helps bring these projects to life, and the opportunity to contribute to causes they believe in. Customers also appreciate the transparency and direct connection with project creators that crowdfunding platforms offer.

Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the Czech crowdfunding market is the rise of equity crowdfunding. This form of crowdfunding allows individuals to invest in early-stage companies in exchange for equity or shares. Equity crowdfunding has gained popularity as a way for investors to diversify their portfolios and support local startups. Another trend is the growth of reward-based crowdfunding, where backers receive a non-financial reward in exchange for their support. This type of crowdfunding is particularly popular for creative projects such as films, music, and art.

Local special circumstances: Czechia has a vibrant startup ecosystem, with a number of innovative companies emerging in various sectors. However, access to traditional sources of funding, such as bank loans, can be challenging for these startups. Crowdfunding provides an alternative financing option for these entrepreneurs, allowing them to raise capital directly from the public. Additionally, the relatively small size of the Czech market means that crowdfunding campaigns can quickly gain visibility and attract a significant number of backers.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The growth of the crowdfunding market in Czechia is also influenced by underlying macroeconomic factors. The country has experienced steady economic growth in recent years, which has increased disposable income and consumer confidence. This provides individuals with the financial means and willingness to support crowdfunding campaigns. Furthermore, the digitalization of the economy has made it easier for crowdfunding platforms to reach a wider audience and facilitate transactions online. In conclusion, the Crowdfunding market in Czechia is growing due to changing customer preferences, emerging trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. As customers increasingly seek to be part of innovative projects and support local startups, crowdfunding provides an accessible and transparent platform for them to contribute. With the continued growth of the startup ecosystem and favorable macroeconomic conditions, the crowdfunding market in Czechia is expected to further expand 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.
