Analyst Opinion

The Digital Investment market in Nepal has been experiencing significant growth in recent years.

Customer preferences:
Nepal has a growing population of tech-savvy individuals who are increasingly interested in digital investment opportunities. With the rise of internet penetration and smartphone usage in the country, more people are looking for convenient and accessible ways to invest their money. Digital investment platforms provide a solution by allowing individuals to invest in various financial products and manage their portfolios online. This appeals to customers who value convenience, transparency, and the ability to track their investments in real-time.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the digital investment market in Nepal is the emergence of robo-advisory services. These services use algorithms and artificial intelligence to provide automated investment advice and portfolio management. This trend is driven by the desire for personalized investment strategies and cost-effective solutions. Robo-advisory platforms offer lower fees compared to traditional financial advisors, making them attractive to cost-conscious investors. Additionally, the ease of use and accessibility of these platforms make them popular among younger investors who are comfortable with technology. Another trend in the market is the increasing popularity of peer-to-peer lending platforms. These platforms connect borrowers with lenders, cutting out traditional financial intermediaries. This trend is driven by the demand for alternative investment options and the potential for higher returns compared to traditional savings accounts. Peer-to-peer lending platforms provide individuals with the opportunity to invest in loans and earn interest on their investments.

Local special circumstances:
Nepal is a country with a significant unbanked population. Many people do not have access to traditional banking services and face challenges in saving and investing their money. Digital investment platforms provide an alternative for these individuals, allowing them to invest in financial products without the need for a traditional bank account. This has the potential to empower individuals and promote financial inclusion in the country.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The digital investment market in Nepal is also influenced by underlying macroeconomic factors. The country has been experiencing stable economic growth in recent years, which has led to an increase in disposable income. As people have more money to invest, they are looking for opportunities to grow their wealth. Digital investment platforms provide a convenient and accessible way for individuals to invest their money and potentially earn higher returns. Additionally, the government of Nepal has been taking steps to promote digital financial services and create a favorable environment for digital investment. This includes initiatives to improve internet infrastructure, increase financial literacy, and regulate digital investment platforms. These efforts are aimed at encouraging the growth of the digital investment market and attracting more investors. In conclusion, the Digital Investment market in Nepal is developing rapidly due to the preferences of tech-savvy individuals, the emergence of robo-advisory services and peer-to-peer lending platforms, the need for financial inclusion, and underlying macroeconomic factors such as stable economic growth and government initiatives to promote digital financial services. This market presents opportunities for both investors and digital investment platforms to grow and thrive in Nepal.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on transaction values / revenues / assets under management and user data of relevant services and products offered within the FinTech 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 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, consumer spending, population, internet penetration, smartphone penetration, credit card penetration, and online banking penetration. 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.
