Venture Capital Market To Expand In China And India

The venture capital market in China and India is set to expand over the next five

years even while it contracts across many developed nations like the United States and much of Europe, according to a survey released on Wednesday by Deloitte and the National Venture Capital Association.

The stage has now been set for emerging markets like China, India, and Brazil to rise as drivers of innovation as they are increasingly becoming more competitive with the traditional markets, said Mark Jensen, partner at Deloitte & Touche LLP.

Over 90 percent of survey respondents in the United States, Europe and Canada indicated that they expect the number of venture capitalist firms in their country to decline between now and 2015 while 99 percent of those surveyed in China and 85 percent in India indicated that they believe the number of domestic venture capital firms will increase over the next five years.

It is ironic that the more optimistic environments are now outside the United States, said Mark Heesen, president of the National Venture Capital Association.

Respondents in China and India indicated that the improving entrepreneurial environment and growing domestic markets were among the leading factors driving their optimism in their respective countries.

According to the survey, venture capitalists in China and India were also the least likely to increase their investments outside of their domestic market, with 15 percent of Indian firms expressing an interest in foreign opportunities to 11 percent of Chinese firms.

The report, which surveyed 500 venture capitalist firms across the globe, forecasts strong investment interest by emerging Asian venture capitalist firms in the biopharmaceutical, cleantech energy and healthcare industries.
