Analyst Opinion

The Capital Raising market in Kenya has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, driven by various factors such as customer preferences, market trends, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. Customer preferences in Kenya have played a crucial role in the development of the Capital Raising market.

Kenyan investors have shown a growing interest in diversifying their investment portfolios and seeking higher returns. This has led to an increased demand for capital raising options that offer attractive risk-adjusted returns. Additionally, there is a growing awareness among Kenyan investors about the benefits of investing in capital markets, such as the potential for long-term wealth creation and the ability to participate in the growth of local businesses.

In terms of market trends, Kenya has witnessed a surge in initial public offerings (IPOs) and corporate bond issuances. This can be attributed to the favorable regulatory environment, which has made it easier for companies to raise capital through these channels. The Nairobi Securities Exchange, the primary stock exchange in Kenya, has also introduced initiatives to attract more companies to list and raise funds on the exchange.

These trends indicate a growing confidence in the Kenyan capital market and a recognition of its potential for growth. Local special circumstances have also contributed to the development of the Capital Raising market in Kenya. The country has a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem, with a large number of startups and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) seeking funding to fuel their growth.

This has created opportunities for various capital raising options, such as venture capital and private equity investments. Additionally, the government of Kenya has been actively promoting the development of the capital market as part of its broader economic agenda, which has further stimulated capital raising activities. Underlying macroeconomic factors have also played a significant role in the development of the Capital Raising market in Kenya.

The country has experienced steady economic growth in recent years, driven by sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, and services. This has created a favorable environment for companies to raise capital, as investors are more willing to allocate funds to businesses operating in a growing economy. Furthermore, Kenya has a young and dynamic population, which provides a large pool of potential investors and entrepreneurs.

In conclusion, the Capital Raising market in Kenya is witnessing significant growth due to customer preferences, market trends, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. The increasing demand for capital raising options, the rise in IPOs and corporate bond issuances, the vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem, and the favorable macroeconomic environment are all contributing to the development of the market. As Kenya continues to attract investment and foster economic growth, the Capital Raising market is expected to further expand in the coming years.

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.
