global peer to peer (P2P) crowdfunding market size expanded rapidly in 2022 and the market is projected to grow substantially by 2031, exhibiting a prodigious CAGR during the forecast period.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the peer to peer (P2P) crowdfunding market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. As per our research, the market is expected to generate substantial revenue by 2031, a robust CAGR during the forecast period. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

Peer to peer (P2P) crowdfunding have become popular methods of funding small businesses in the last decade or so. Yet, both crowdfunding and peer-to-peer lending entail other people donating money to you. Peer-to-peer lending is a type of company financing in which individual investors offer funds to small firms rather than traditional banks or credit unions. P2P lending is typically in the form of business loans or credit lines. Individual investors contribute funds, however they often do it through a lending platform (such as Funding Circle or StreetShares). These sites frequently aggregate money from many P2P investors to give company loans.

COVID-19 Impact: The Pandemic Downgraded the Crowdfunding Market Growth

Due to lockdowns and disruptions in industrial and supply chain activity, COVID-19 initially had a substantial impact on the peer to peer (P2P) crowdfunding market share. COVID-19 has increased the number of demands from investors to sell their P2P loans, causing liquidity concerns throughout the market. Yet, given the influence of COVID-19 on borrowers' creditworthiness, there is a significant concern that firms will be unable to appropriately price loans or will be incentivized to shift loans from one client to another at prices that do not represent the loan's risk profile.

LATEST TRENDS

"A Potential Tool for International Development to Advance the Market Share"

There is some hope that crowdfunding could serve as a tool accessible to historically marginalised groups of people. A study by the World Bank with the title "Crowdfunding's Potential for the Developing World," which claims that "While crowdfunding is still largely a developed world phenomenon, it could become a useful tool in the developing world as well with the support of governments and development organisations. In many emerging economies, huge reserves of entrepreneurial skill, activity, and capital are dormant. Crowdfunding and crowdfund investment have a number of significant roles to play in the entrepreneurial and venture finance ecosystem of the developing world." ​

DRIVING FACTORS

"A Wide Array of Benefits to Investors to  Amplify the Market Share"

A properly regulated crowdfunding platform may offer the chance of alluring rewards for investors in a number of ways: The platforms lower search and transaction costs, enabling greater market participation. Due to the difficulty of finding an early-stage company directly and the high costs of joining an angel group or doing it through a reputable venture capital firm, many individual investors would ordinarily find it impossible to participate in early-stage companies.

The consumer market is frequently ignored in favour of high-tech startups by venture capital firms. Crowdfunding allows individual investors access to some of these under served markets. While crowdfunding doesn't make sense in every sector, it does in some, such as retail and consumer. Investors can benefit businesses by serving as brand ambassadors and even as a focus group. Individual investors can participate in the company they invest in through crowdfunding.

"The Dynamic Applications to Small Business to Witness Significant Growth and Attract the Market Share"

Because P2P lenders typically have less borrower criteria, small business owners frequently favour P2P lending over traditional loans (such as credit score and revenue requirements). P2P lenders, on the other hand, frequently charge cheaper interest rates than many alternative lenders. To put it another way, P2P lending platforms act as a type of happy medium between banks and instant online lenders (though specific rates and requirements will depend on the P2P lender you go with).

Both peer to peer (P2P) crowdfunding offer wonderful alternatives to raise money for your small business. Although each of them allow you to get cash from private investors, how they operate is rather different. Because it is campaign-driven, crowdfunding is most effective for companies that offer items. On the other hand, P2P financing benefits businesses that provide services as long as they can meet the basic borrower standards.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

"Neuro-Physiological Issues and High Cost of Devices to Restrain the Market Growth"

While growing in popularity, there are a number of possible risks or obstacles associated with crowdfunding. Studies reveal that there are "high degrees of risk, uncertainty, and information asymmetry" in crowdfunding, both for the creative and the investor. Due diligence by investors is less possible on crowdfunding platforms, which exacerbates the issue of information asymmetry. Money laundering is a possibility on crowdfunding websites as well.
