Analyst Opinion

The Digital Capital Raising market in Sri Lanka is experiencing significant growth and development due to shifting customer preferences, emerging trends, and local special circumstances. Customer preferences in Sri Lanka are increasingly favoring digital platforms for capital raising.

This is driven by the convenience and accessibility offered by digital channels, which allow individuals and businesses to access capital from anywhere, at any time. Additionally, the younger generation in Sri Lanka, who are more tech-savvy and digitally connected, are increasingly seeking alternative funding options beyond traditional banks. This shift in customer preferences towards digital capital raising platforms is fueling the growth of the market in Sri Lanka.

Trends in the market indicate a growing demand for peer-to-peer lending and crowdfunding platforms. These platforms provide an opportunity for individuals and small businesses to raise capital directly from a large pool of investors. The rise of these platforms can be attributed to the increasing need for alternative funding options, particularly for startups and SMEs who may face challenges in accessing traditional financing.

Furthermore, the transparency and efficiency offered by digital platforms in terms of loan disbursement and repayment processes are attracting borrowers and investors alike. Local special circumstances in Sri Lanka, such as a growing startup ecosystem and a need for infrastructure development, are also contributing to the development of the digital capital raising market. The country has seen a surge in entrepreneurial activity in recent years, with many startups looking for funding to fuel their growth.

Digital capital raising platforms provide an avenue for these startups to access the necessary funds without the constraints of traditional financing options. Additionally, Sri Lanka is in need of significant infrastructure development, and digital capital raising platforms can play a crucial role in mobilizing funds for these projects. Underlying macroeconomic factors, such as a growing middle class and increasing smartphone penetration, are further driving the development of the digital capital raising market in Sri Lanka.

The country's middle class is expanding, leading to a greater demand for financial services and investment opportunities. This, coupled with the increasing smartphone penetration, provides a fertile ground for the growth of digital capital raising platforms, as more individuals have access to the internet and can easily engage with these platforms. In conclusion, the Digital Capital Raising market in Sri Lanka is experiencing rapid growth and development due to shifting customer preferences, emerging trends, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors.

The convenience and accessibility offered by digital platforms, coupled with the demand for alternative funding options, are driving the adoption of digital capital raising in Sri Lanka. As the market continues to evolve, it is expected to play a significant role in supporting the growth of startups, SMEs, and infrastructure development in the country.

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. 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.
