Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the Namibian capital raising market is the rise of crowdfunding platforms. These platforms provide a way for entrepreneurs and small businesses to raise capital from a large number of individual investors, often with relatively small amounts of money. This has democratized the capital raising process, allowing a wider range of businesses to access funding and enabling individuals to invest in projects they believe in. Another trend in the market is the increasing use of venture capital and private equity funding. This is particularly evident in the technology and innovation sectors, where startups and high-growth companies are attracting significant investment. Venture capital and private equity firms are drawn to these sectors due to their potential for high returns, and are actively seeking out investment opportunities in Namibia.

This has led to an influx of foreign capital into the country, further driving the development of the capital raising market.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: Namibia's economy has been growing steadily in recent years, with a focus on diversification and industrialization. This has created opportunities for businesses in various sectors, including manufacturing, tourism, and renewable energy. As these industries expand, the need for capital to fund new projects and expand existing operations has increased, driving the growth of the capital raising market. Furthermore, Namibia has a young and growing population, which provides a large labor force and consumer base. This demographic dividend has attracted investment in various sectors, including real estate, retail, and infrastructure. As these industries develop, the demand for capital to finance their growth has increased, leading to the expansion of the capital raising market.

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).

This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

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.

Venture capital is the term used to call the financial resources provided by investors to startup firms and small businesses that show potential for long-term growth. It has become a very important source of capital for entrepreneurs, who often have problems with financing their needs through risk-averse banks. Venture capital investments incorporate a high level of risk as only some of the VC-backed companies develop into successful and highly profitable businesses. In 2020, the leading venture capital backed company worldwide was the Manbang Group, which based in Nanjing, China.
