What Are The Top Growth Drivers Impacting The Crowdfunding Market Outlook?

The projected expansion of the crowdfunding market is anticipated due to the increasing adoption of social media platforms. These platforms offer a service to the general public for sharing communication, speech, news, or other content, typically through messages, videos, pictures, or sound files. Social media serves as an essential tool for promoting and publicizing crowdfunding initiatives and securing funds for campaigns via an internet platform, consequently boosting the demand for crowdfunding as its usage rises. For instance, in January 2024, a report by We Are Social Ltd, a UK-based social media creativity and analytics company, revealed that social media user identities grew by 5.6% over the past year, with 266 million new users joining social media for the first time during 2023.
