Analyst Opinion

Saudi Arabia has seen a significant increase in the development of its Venture Debt market in recent years. This growth can be attributed to several factors, including changing customer preferences, trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors.

Customer preferences in Saudi Arabia have shifted towards a greater acceptance of debt financing for startups and small businesses. Traditionally, equity financing has been the preferred option for entrepreneurs seeking funding. However, the rise of Venture Debt as an alternative financing option has gained traction due to its flexibility and lower dilution of ownership.

Entrepreneurs in Saudi Arabia are now more open to leveraging debt to fuel their growth, allowing them to retain a larger stake in their companies. Trends in the market have also contributed to the development of the Venture Debt market in Saudi Arabia. The country has witnessed a surge in entrepreneurial activity, with an increasing number of startups and small businesses emerging across various industries.

This has created a demand for alternative financing options that can provide the necessary capital to fuel growth and expansion. Venture Debt offers a viable solution for these companies, allowing them to access capital quickly and efficiently. Additionally, the local special circumstances in Saudi Arabia have played a role in the growth of the Venture Debt market.

The government has been actively promoting entrepreneurship and innovation as part of its Vision 2030 initiative, which aims to diversify the economy and reduce its dependence on oil. As a result, there has been a significant increase in support for startups and small businesses, including the availability of funding options such as Venture Debt. This supportive ecosystem has created an environment conducive to the development of the Venture Debt market.

Underlying macroeconomic factors have also contributed to the growth of the Venture Debt market in Saudi Arabia. The country has a strong and stable economy, with a large pool of investable capital. This has attracted both domestic and international investors, who are keen to support the growth of startups and small businesses in the country.

Additionally, low interest rates and favorable government policies have made debt financing an attractive option for entrepreneurs, further driving the development of the Venture Debt market. In conclusion, the Venture Debt market in Saudi Arabia has experienced significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences, trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. As the country continues to promote entrepreneurship and diversify its economy, the Venture Debt market is expected to further expand, providing a valuable source of funding for startups and small businesses.

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.
