The Golden Age of Asian Crowdfunding Has Still to Come

7/6/2015

The European and American crowdfunding markets are flourishing, but it has taken longer for the Asian market to catch up. Researchers at University of California, Berkeley, Haas School of Business believe that the Chinese crowdfunding market can be worth up to 48 billion USD 
alone in 5 years if regulations regarding equity crowdfunding will become more lax.
Other actions are taken to untap the potential – such as conducting research reports informing the Asian market about alternative financing. These will mainly be done due to a future partnership between University of Cambridge and University of China. The reports are expected to be done in the end of this year. 

One of the problems hindering the growth is that the knowledge and therefore the demand for crowdfunding services aren’t big enough. Many entrepreneurial centras such as Indonesia and Japan would benefit from letting innovation spread. On the other hand, Singapore is one of the countries who has picked up the trend and been successful. At the moment there are a few  Crowdfunding sites such as Capital Match and MoolahSense that help finding investments to businesses in Singapore. When seeking money from financial institutions in Singapore, up to 80-90 percent of small business loans from banks are not approved – which tells us something 
about the market potential.
