The global venture capital investment market is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 35.86 per cent between 2016 and 2020, according to a report from Research and Markets.
The report – Global Venture Capital Investment Market 2016-2020 – has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts.
A trend boosting market growth is the advanced and early seed capital/angel funding activities. There has been a continuous increase in the initial capital investment through the use of an angel investor, a crowdsourcing platform, and an early-stage venture capital funding.
Research and Markets expects a continuous increase in early and seed capital/angel funding during the forecast period. Crowd funding is developing with huge potential for growth especially in regions like the UK and the US, which are directed toward MSMEs.
According to the report, a key growth driver is the rise of the internet-based business ecosystem. Many top banks are expected to enhance their offerings or develop strategic partnerships with financial technology innovators to provide innovative payment solutions to customers. The advances and innovations in technologies and different financial technological platforms have also increased the customers' need for better online experiences. Many top banks, card issuers, app developers face heavy competition to reach the leading position and grow their footprints in the market, creating more demand for venture capital funding.
