Analyst Opinion

The Venture Capital market in Luxembourg has been experiencing significant growth in recent years, driven by a combination of customer preferences, trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors.

Customer preferences:
Investors in Luxembourg's Venture Capital market have shown a strong preference for innovative and high-growth potential startups. They are seeking opportunities in sectors such as fintech, information technology, and biotechnology, which have shown promising growth prospects. Additionally, investors are increasingly looking for startups with a global market focus, as they see the potential for higher returns in international markets.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Venture Capital market in Luxembourg is the increasing number of international investors and funds entering the market. Luxembourg's favorable business environment, including its attractive tax regime and well-established legal framework, has made it an attractive destination for venture capital investments. This trend has been further supported by the presence of a growing number of incubators, accelerators, and venture capital firms in the country, which provide support and funding to startups. Another trend in the market is the rise of corporate venture capital. Many large corporations are now setting up their own venture capital arms to invest in startups that align with their strategic goals. This not only provides startups with access to funding but also allows them to benefit from the expertise and networks of these corporations.

Local special circumstances:
Luxembourg's small size and close proximity to major European financial centers, such as London and Frankfurt, have contributed to the development of a vibrant startup ecosystem. The country's strong financial services sector and expertise in fund management have also attracted startups and investors looking for specialized support and access to capital. Furthermore, Luxembourg's government has been actively promoting entrepreneurship and innovation through various initiatives and programs. This includes the establishment of Luxembourg House of Financial Technology (LHoFT), which aims to support the development of fintech startups, and the implementation of the Digital Luxembourg strategy, which focuses on fostering digital innovation.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
Luxembourg's strong and stable economy, coupled with its strategic location within the European Union, has created a favorable environment for venture capital investments. The country's high GDP per capita and low unemployment rate indicate a strong consumer market and a skilled labor force, which are attractive to startups and investors alike. Additionally, Luxembourg's commitment to innovation and digitalization, as evidenced by its investments in research and development, has further fueled the growth of the Venture Capital market. The government's focus on creating a favorable regulatory environment and supporting initiatives that promote entrepreneurship has also played a significant role in attracting venture capital investments. In conclusion, the Venture Capital market in Luxembourg is experiencing rapid growth due to customer preferences for innovative and high-growth startups, the influx of international investors, the rise of corporate venture capital, local special circumstances such as a favorable business environment and government support, and underlying macroeconomic factors including a strong and stable economy. These factors have contributed to the development of a vibrant startup ecosystem in Luxembourg and are likely to continue driving the growth of the Venture Capital market in the future.

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.
