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

Customer preferences: Tanzanian investors have shown a strong preference for traditional capital raising methods, such as bank loans and equity financing. This is largely due to a lack of awareness and understanding of alternative methods, such as crowdfunding or venture capital. Additionally, traditional methods provide a sense of security and familiarity for investors, which is particularly important in a market that is still developing.

Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the Traditional Capital Raising market in Tanzania is the increasing demand for bank loans. Tanzanian businesses are increasingly seeking loans from banks to finance their expansion plans and meet working capital requirements. This trend can be attributed to the growing confidence in the Tanzanian banking sector, as well as the availability of financing options tailored to the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises. Another trend in the market is the rise of equity financing. Tanzanian businesses are increasingly turning to private equity firms and venture capitalists to raise capital for their growth plans. This trend is driven by the desire to access expertise and networks that can help businesses scale up quickly and efficiently. Additionally, the growing number of success stories in the Tanzanian startup ecosystem has attracted the attention of investors, further fueling the demand for equity financing.

Local special circumstances: The Traditional Capital Raising market in Tanzania is influenced by several local special circumstances. One such circumstance is the limited access to formal financial services in rural areas. This has led to the emergence of informal lending networks, such as village savings and loan associations, which play a crucial role in providing capital to small businesses in these areas. Another special circumstance is the presence of a large informal sector in Tanzania. Many businesses in the country operate outside the formal economy, making it difficult for them to access traditional sources of capital. As a result, these businesses often rely on personal savings, family and friends, or informal lenders to finance their operations.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The development of the Traditional Capital Raising market in Tanzania is also influenced by underlying macroeconomic factors. Tanzania has been experiencing steady economic growth in recent years, which has created opportunities for businesses to expand and invest. This growth has also attracted foreign investors, who are increasingly looking to invest in Tanzanian businesses. Furthermore, the Tanzanian government has implemented policies and reforms to promote investment and entrepreneurship in the country. These include measures to improve the ease of doing business, streamline regulations, and enhance access to finance. These initiatives have created a conducive environment for traditional capital raising activities to thrive. In conclusion, the Traditional Capital Raising market in Tanzania is experiencing growth due to customer preferences for traditional methods, such as bank loans and equity financing. This growth is driven by trends such as the increasing demand for bank loans and the rise of equity financing. The market is also influenced by local special circumstances, such as limited access to formal financial services in rural areas and the presence of a large informal sector. Underlying macroeconomic factors, such as steady economic growth and government policies to promote investment, further contribute to the development of the 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 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.

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.

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.
