Analyst Opinion

The Venture Debt market in Philippines 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:
Entrepreneurs and startups in the Philippines are increasingly turning to venture debt as a financing option. This is primarily due to the flexibility and lower cost of capital compared to traditional equity financing. Venture debt allows companies to raise capital without diluting their ownership stake, which is particularly attractive to founders who want to maintain control of their businesses. Additionally, venture debt offers more favorable terms and faster access to capital compared to traditional bank loans, making it an appealing option for startups looking to quickly scale their operations.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends driving the growth of the Venture Debt market in the Philippines is the increasing number of startups and entrepreneurial activity in the country. The Philippines has seen a surge in the number of tech startups in recent years, particularly in sectors such as e-commerce, fintech, and software development. These startups often require additional capital to fund their growth and expansion plans, and venture debt provides a viable alternative to equity financing. Another trend in the market is the growing interest from international venture debt providers in the Philippines. As the country's startup ecosystem continues to mature, foreign investors are recognizing the potential for high returns and are actively seeking investment opportunities in the market. This influx of international capital has led to increased competition among venture debt providers, driving down costs and improving terms for local startups.

Local special circumstances:
The Philippines has a young and dynamic population, with a high level of digital adoption and internet penetration. This has created a fertile ground for the growth of tech startups, which are driving the demand for venture debt. Additionally, the government in the Philippines has been actively supporting the growth of the startup ecosystem through various initiatives and programs, such as tax incentives and access to funding. These favorable conditions have further contributed to the development of the Venture Debt market in the country.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The Philippines has experienced strong economic growth in recent years, driven by domestic consumption and investments. This favorable macroeconomic environment has created a conducive climate for startups and venture debt providers, as it has increased the availability of capital and the appetite for risk-taking. Additionally, the low interest rate environment in the country has made venture debt an attractive financing option for startups, as it allows them to access capital at relatively lower costs. In conclusion, the Venture Debt market in the Philippines is developing rapidly due to customer preferences for flexible and cost-effective financing options, trends in the market such as the growth of the startup ecosystem and international interest, local special circumstances including government support and a young population, and underlying macroeconomic factors such as strong economic growth and low interest rates. As the market continues to evolve, it is expected that venture debt will play an increasingly important role in supporting the growth and expansion of startups in the Philippines.

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.
