Analyst Opinion

The Venture Debt market in Sri Lanka is experiencing significant growth and development in recent years.

Customer preferences:
Sri Lankan entrepreneurs and startups are increasingly turning to venture debt as a financing option. This is driven by several factors. Firstly, venture debt provides an alternative to traditional equity financing, allowing entrepreneurs to retain a larger stake in their companies. Additionally, venture debt offers a more flexible and less dilutive form of capital, which is particularly attractive to early-stage startups.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Venture Debt market in Sri Lanka is the increasing availability of venture debt financing options. As the startup ecosystem in the country continues to mature, more financial institutions and specialized lenders are entering the market to meet the growing demand for venture debt. This has led to increased competition and a wider range of financing options for entrepreneurs and startups. Another trend is the rising interest from international investors in providing venture debt financing to Sri Lankan startups. This trend is driven by the country's growing reputation as a hub for innovation and entrepreneurship, as well as its strong economic growth. International investors see the potential for high returns in the Sri Lankan market and are willing to provide venture debt financing to support the growth of local startups.

Local special circumstances:
Sri Lanka's startup ecosystem has been supported by various government initiatives and policies aimed at promoting entrepreneurship and innovation. The government has launched programs to provide funding, mentorship, and other support services to startups, which has helped create a conducive environment for venture debt financing. Additionally, the country's strong education system and skilled workforce have contributed to the growth of the startup ecosystem, attracting both local and international investors.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The Venture Debt market in Sri Lanka is also influenced by several macroeconomic factors. The country's strong economic growth and increasing GDP per capita have created a favorable environment for startups and venture debt financing. Additionally, the availability of low-cost capital and low interest rates have made venture debt an attractive option for entrepreneurs looking to fund their ventures. Furthermore, the government's focus on promoting innovation and entrepreneurship has helped create a supportive ecosystem for startups, attracting both local and foreign investors to the market. In conclusion, the Venture Debt market in Sri Lanka is experiencing significant growth and development, driven by customer preferences, trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors.

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.
