Crowdfunding Market Worth $1.30 Billion By 2028 | CAGR 4.4%

Published: Feb 15, 2022

Crowdfunding Market Growth & Trends

The global crowdfunding market size is estimated to reach USD 1.30 billion by 2028 and is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4% from 2021 to 2028, according to a new report by Million Insights. Easy access to the capital as compared to the traditional funding is the crucial factor that drives the growth of the market. Social media as a source of free-of-cost promotion is another factor that drives the market. However, frauds and cyber-security breaches are observed as the important risks of crowdfunding globally and are the key factors restraining the growth of the market. Most of the major players operating in the market are implementing various strategies, such as new product launches, mergers, and acquisitions, to gain maximum share in the global market.

The COVID-19 pandemic has positively impacted the market. Crowdfunding platforms helped many start-up companies and small-scale businesses impacted by the pandemic. According to Enventys Partners, the number of Kickstarter projects from January to April 2020, experienced a surge of 8.93% over the previous year in spite of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, the pandemic has played an important role in pushing the growth of the market. The small businesses segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2020. Most of the small businesses are choosing crowdfunding platforms for raising funds for their project or business. According to The Wall Street Journal, numerous small businesses have launched GoFundMe campaigns in 19 nations in recent times. Thus, the crowdfunding demand for small businesses is high and contributed more to the market revenue.
