Analyst Opinion

The Venture Capital market in Hungary is experiencing significant growth and development in recent years.

Customer preferences:
Hungarian entrepreneurs are increasingly seeking venture capital funding to support their innovative start-up ventures. This is driven by a desire to access the necessary financial resources and expertise to scale their businesses and compete on a global level. Additionally, there is a growing awareness among entrepreneurs of the potential benefits of partnering with venture capital firms, such as access to networks, mentorship, and strategic guidance.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Hungarian Venture Capital market is the increasing number of venture capital funds being established in the country. These funds are actively seeking investment opportunities in promising start-ups across various industries, including technology, healthcare, and consumer goods. This trend is driven by both domestic and international investors who recognize the potential of the Hungarian market and the innovative ideas being developed by local entrepreneurs. Another trend in the market is the focus on early-stage investments. Venture capital firms in Hungary are increasingly willing to invest in early-stage start-ups with high growth potential. This is driven by the belief that early-stage investments offer the opportunity for significant returns on investment, as well as the ability to shape the direction and growth of the company from an early stage.

Local special circumstances:
Hungary benefits from a strong entrepreneurial ecosystem, with a growing number of incubators, accelerators, and support organizations that provide resources and mentorship to start-ups. This ecosystem fosters a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship, which is attractive to venture capital investors. Furthermore, the Hungarian government has implemented various initiatives to support the growth of the start-up ecosystem and attract venture capital investment. These initiatives include tax incentives for investors, grants and subsidies for start-ups, and the establishment of venture capital funds with government participation. These efforts have helped to create a favorable investment climate and attract both domestic and international venture capital firms to the Hungarian market.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The strong economic growth in Hungary, combined with a favorable business environment and a skilled workforce, has contributed to the development of the venture capital market. The country's strategic location in Central Europe also makes it an attractive investment destination for venture capital firms looking to expand their presence in the region. Additionally, the increasing availability of venture capital funding in Hungary can be attributed to the growing interest of institutional investors, such as pension funds and insurance companies, in alternative investments. These investors are diversifying their portfolios and seeking higher returns by allocating a portion of their capital to venture capital funds. In conclusion, the Venture Capital market in Hungary is experiencing significant growth and development, driven by customer preferences for venture capital funding, trends in the market such as the establishment of new funds and a focus on early-stage investments, local special circumstances including a strong entrepreneurial ecosystem and government support, and underlying macroeconomic factors such as strong economic growth and the interest of institutional investors.

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.
