Dublin, Feb. 19, 2016 -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/nlqcfm/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Crowdfunding Market 2016-2020" report to their offering.

The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global crowdfunding market for 2016-2020. To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated through crowdfunding campaigns.

Despite the rapid rise in the total number of websites, market-specific websites such as AppStori for app development, MedStartr for healthcare, and Barnraiser for food and agriculture are lagging far behind the major players such as Kickstarter and Indiegogo. Non-specific websites such as Indiegogo have the largest global reach, with better abilities to amplify a product or concept in comparison to smaller market-specific platforms. With the increasing number of M&As, smaller platforms will be better equipped to compete in the market.
