Analyst Opinion

The Capital Raising market in Eastern Africa has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, driven by several key factors.

Customer preferences:
Investors in Eastern Africa are increasingly looking for opportunities to diversify their portfolios and generate higher returns. As a result, there is a growing demand for alternative investment options, such as private equity, venture capital, and crowdfunding. These types of investments offer the potential for higher returns compared to traditional investment options, such as stocks and bonds.

Trends in the market:
One of the major trends in the Capital Raising market in Eastern Africa is the rise of crowdfunding platforms. These platforms allow entrepreneurs and small businesses to raise capital from a large number of individual investors, often through online platforms. Crowdfunding has become particularly popular in Eastern Africa due to the high levels of entrepreneurship in the region and the limited access to traditional financing options. Another trend in the market is the increasing involvement of international investors. Eastern Africa has become an attractive destination for foreign investors due to its strong economic growth, improving business environment, and abundant natural resources. International investors are not only providing capital but also bringing in expertise and networks that can help local businesses grow and expand.

These entrepreneurs are often looking for capital to fund their start-ups or expand their existing businesses. The Capital Raising market in Eastern Africa has responded to this demand by providing a range of financing options tailored to the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The Capital Raising market in Eastern Africa is also benefiting from favorable macroeconomic conditions. The region has experienced strong economic growth in recent years, driven by a combination of factors such as infrastructure development, urbanization, and a growing middle class. This has created a favorable business environment for companies seeking to raise capital. In addition, governments in Eastern Africa have been implementing policies to promote entrepreneurship and attract investment. These policies include the establishment of special economic zones, tax incentives for investors, and the simplification of business registration processes. These measures have helped to create a conducive environment for capital raising activities in the region. In conclusion, the Capital Raising market in Eastern Africa is developing rapidly due to the increasing demand for alternative investment options, the rise of crowdfunding platforms, the involvement of international investors, the presence of a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem, and favorable macroeconomic conditions.

Methodology

Data coverage:

Data encompasses B2B and B2C enterprises. Figures are based on the amount of capital raised, the average of deal size and the number of deals.

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 data from OECD, 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, CPI, number of small and medium-sized enterprises (SME), new businesses registered (number) . 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.
