    Analyst Opinion

    The Capital Raising Market in the United States is currently facing a mild decline, influenced by factors such as fluctuating investor confidence, regulatory challenges, and the evolving landscape of fundraising methods, which impact overall investment dynamics and opportunities.

    Customer preferences:
    Investors are increasingly gravitating towards sustainable and socially responsible investment opportunities, reflecting a growing awareness of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. This shift is driven by younger demographics, who prioritize ethical considerations in their investment decisions. Additionally, the rise of technology-driven fundraising platforms is reshaping how startups connect with potential backers, emphasizing transparency and accessibility. As a result, traditional capital raising methods are evolving to accommodate these changing investor preferences.

    Trends in the market:
    In the United States, the Capital Raising Market is experiencing a shift towards sustainable and socially responsible investment strategies, with an increasing number of investors prioritizing ESG factors in their decision-making processes. This trend is particularly pronounced among younger investors, who seek ethical alignment in their portfolios. Concurrently, the rise of technology-driven fundraising platforms is transforming how startups engage with potential investors, enhancing transparency and fostering accessibility. These developments are prompting traditional capital raising methods to adapt, ultimately reshaping the investment landscape for industry stakeholders.

    Local special circumstances:
    In the United States, the Capital Raising Market is influenced by a diverse investor base that values innovation and transparency, reflecting the country’s entrepreneurial spirit. Geographic disparities, such as the tech-centric culture of Silicon Valley versus the financial hubs of New York, shape investment priorities. Additionally, regulatory frameworks like the JOBS Act facilitate crowdfunding and democratize access to capital, enabling startups across various sectors to engage with a broader audience. This unique combination fosters a dynamic and rapidly evolving investment landscape.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    The Capital Raising Market in the United States is significantly shaped by macroeconomic factors such as interest rates, inflation, and overall economic growth. A stable economic environment encourages investor confidence, driving capital into innovative startups and emerging sectors. Conversely, rising inflation may lead to tighter monetary policies, which can dampen investment activity. Additionally, fiscal policies that promote entrepreneurship, such as tax incentives and grants, enhance access to funding for startups. Global economic trends, including shifts in consumer behavior and technological advancements, further influence investment strategies, creating a dynamic landscape for capital raising.

    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.
