MARKET GROWTH FACTORS

Latin America is seeing an increase in internet penetration and smartphone penetration. In 2023 mobile technologies contributed 8% of the GDP to the Latin America economy, this was to the equivalent of USD 520 Billion. Latin America had 418 million mobile internet users (75 million more than a year ago). In 10 countries 29 operators launched 5G by April 2024. 5G-enabled devices are projected to grow from just 5% of connections in 2024 to 55% in 2030. This allows campaigns to be managed easily on-the-go.

 

Startups have grown in number as well. In Latin America emerged a startup ecosystem with over 9,000 funded startups that raised USD 3.9 Billion in venture capital investments in 2023. Rapid digitization exists. It is especially present in fintech and e-commerce. Over 60 unicorns have been created in the last ten years because of digitization. Crowdfunding is an important source of funding for startups in the region as they seek their initial capital, as well as exposure and validation from early customers.

 

The growth has also been increased by regulations on crowdfunding and a growing belief that crowdfunding-based investment products represent a suitable alternative finance model to be employed in regions with limited access to credit. Crowdfunding real estate platforms allow groups of investors to fund housing projects and infrastructure schemes, and are starting to find traction now. These conditions create a unique environment in Latin America, where diverse funding models improve financial inclusion and increase entrepreneurship.
