Analyst Opinion

The Digital Capital Raising market in Southern Europe is experiencing significant growth and development, driven by several key factors.

Customer preferences:
In Southern Europe, there is a growing preference among entrepreneurs and startups to utilize digital platforms for capital raising. This preference is driven by the convenience and accessibility offered by digital platforms, which allow entrepreneurs to reach a larger pool of potential investors. Additionally, digital platforms often provide a streamlined and efficient process for raising capital, reducing the time and effort required compared to traditional methods.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Digital Capital Raising market in Southern Europe is the rise of crowdfunding platforms. These platforms enable entrepreneurs to raise funds from a large number of individual investors, often in exchange for equity or rewards. Crowdfunding platforms have gained popularity due to their ability to connect entrepreneurs with a diverse range of investors, including individuals who may not have access to traditional investment opportunities. This trend is expected to continue as more entrepreneurs recognize the benefits of crowdfunding and as regulations surrounding crowdfunding become more favorable. Another trend in the market is the increasing use of digital securities offerings. Digital securities, also known as security tokens, are digital representations of traditional financial instruments such as stocks, bonds, and derivatives. These digital securities can be issued and traded on blockchain-based platforms, providing increased liquidity and transparency compared to traditional securities. The use of digital securities offerings is gaining traction in Southern Europe as entrepreneurs and investors seek new and innovative ways to raise and invest capital.

Local special circumstances:
Southern Europe has a vibrant startup ecosystem, with a number of cities emerging as hubs for innovation and entrepreneurship. Cities such as Barcelona, Lisbon, and Athens are attracting entrepreneurs from around the world, creating a dynamic environment for capital raising. Additionally, Southern Europe has a strong culture of entrepreneurship, with a long history of successful startups and a supportive ecosystem of mentors, investors, and accelerators.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The Digital Capital Raising market in Southern Europe is also influenced by underlying macroeconomic factors. Southern Europe has experienced economic challenges in recent years, including high unemployment rates and limited access to traditional financing options. As a result, entrepreneurs in the region are increasingly turning to digital platforms for capital raising, as these platforms offer an alternative source of funding. Additionally, the European Union has introduced regulations to promote the growth of digital finance, including crowdfunding and digital securities. These regulations have created a favorable environment for digital capital raising in Southern Europe, encouraging entrepreneurs and investors to embrace these new opportunities. In conclusion, the Digital Capital Raising market in Southern Europe is growing and evolving, driven by customer preferences for digital platforms, key market trends such as crowdfunding and digital securities offerings, local special circumstances including a vibrant startup ecosystem, and underlying macroeconomic factors. This market is expected to continue to develop as entrepreneurs and investors in Southern Europe embrace the opportunities offered by digital capital raising.

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.
