Analyst Opinion

The Capital Raising market in North America has been experiencing significant growth in recent years. Customer preferences in the North American market have shifted towards alternative forms of capital raising, such as crowdfunding and venture capital, as opposed to traditional methods like bank loans or public offerings.

This shift can be attributed to several factors, including the rise of technology startups and the increasing popularity of social media platforms. Startups in particular have found crowdfunding to be an attractive option, as it allows them to raise capital from a large number of individual investors without the need for a traditional bank loan or investment from a venture capital firm. Additionally, crowdfunding platforms have become more sophisticated and user-friendly, making it easier for entrepreneurs to access capital from a wider range of potential investors.

One trend in the North American capital raising market is the increasing use of venture capital. Venture capital firms have been investing heavily in innovative startups, particularly in the technology sector. This trend can be attributed to the potential for high returns on investment, as well as the desire to support the growth of innovative companies.

The availability of venture capital funding has allowed startups to scale more quickly and compete with established players in their respective industries. Another trend in the North American capital raising market is the growing popularity of initial coin offerings (ICOs). ICOs are a form of crowdfunding that allows companies to raise capital by issuing digital tokens or coins.

This method of capital raising has gained traction in the technology sector, particularly in the blockchain and cryptocurrency industries. ICOs offer a unique opportunity for investors to participate in the growth of a company at an early stage, and have the potential for significant returns if the company is successful. Local special circumstances in the North American market include the presence of a large number of high-growth startups and a strong entrepreneurial culture.

The United States in particular has a well-established ecosystem for startups, with access to venture capital funding, a large pool of talented entrepreneurs, and a supportive regulatory environment. This has created a fertile ground for capital raising activities and has attracted both domestic and international investors. Underlying macroeconomic factors that have contributed to the development of the capital raising market in North America include low interest rates and a favorable economic climate.

Low interest rates have made it cheaper for companies to borrow money, while a strong economy has increased investor confidence and willingness to invest in riskier assets. Additionally, the presence of large technology companies in North America, such as Amazon, Google, and Facebook, has created a supportive ecosystem for startups and has attracted significant investment capital to the region. In conclusion, the Capital Raising market in North America has experienced significant growth due to changing customer preferences, such as a shift towards alternative forms of capital raising, and the presence of local special circumstances, such as a strong entrepreneurial culture.

These trends have been supported by underlying macroeconomic factors, including low interest rates and a favorable economic climate. As a result, the North American market has become a vibrant and dynamic environment for capital raising activities, particularly in the technology sector.

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.
