Analyst Opinion

The Traditional Capital Raising market in Qatar has been experiencing significant growth in recent years.

Customer preferences: Qatari investors have traditionally favored conservative investment options, such as real estate and fixed income securities. However, there has been a shift in customer preferences towards more diverse investment opportunities, including equity investments and venture capital. This change in customer preferences can be attributed to the increasing awareness and understanding of the potential returns and risks associated with different investment options.

Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the Traditional Capital Raising market in Qatar is the growing interest in startups and entrepreneurship. Qatar has been actively promoting innovation and entrepreneurship through various initiatives, such as the establishment of technology parks and incubators. This has led to an increase in the number of startups and a corresponding demand for capital to fund their growth. As a result, there has been a rise in the number of traditional capital raising activities, such as initial public offerings (IPOs) and private placements. Another trend in the market is the increasing participation of institutional investors in the Traditional Capital Raising market. Qatar's sovereign wealth fund, Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), has been actively investing in both domestic and international markets. This has not only provided a significant source of capital for companies in Qatar but has also attracted other institutional investors to the market. The presence of institutional investors has brought in more liquidity and stability to the market, making it more attractive for companies to raise capital.

Local special circumstances: Qatar's economy is heavily dependent on the oil and gas industry, which has been a major driver of the country's economic growth. However, in recent years, Qatar has been diversifying its economy and reducing its reliance on oil and gas. This diversification strategy has led to the development of various industries, such as finance, real estate, and technology. As a result, there has been an increased demand for capital to fund the expansion and growth of these industries, creating opportunities for traditional capital raising activities.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The Traditional Capital Raising market in Qatar has been supported by favorable macroeconomic factors. Qatar has a stable political environment and a strong regulatory framework, which provides a conducive environment for capital raising activities. Additionally, the country has a high per capita income and a growing population, which creates a favorable demand-supply dynamics for capital. Furthermore, Qatar's strategic location in the Middle East and its strong ties with other countries in the region have attracted foreign investors, further boosting the capital raising market. In conclusion, the Traditional Capital Raising market in Qatar is developing due to changing customer preferences, increasing interest in startups and entrepreneurship, the participation of institutional investors, local special circumstances, and favorable macroeconomic factors. These factors have created a conducive environment for companies in Qatar to raise capital and fuel their growth and expansion.

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.
