The search for the right data starts with big questions. Is the impact investing market growing? Is it really driving transformational change?

Yes, the impact investing market is growing; assets under management grew by 26% between 2020 and 2021. But market growth is not accelerating at a rate necessary to reach the SDGs by 2030. What can we do to go faster?

Where our data comes from

Impact Europe collects market data through annual surveys on impact investing and catalytic grant-making in Europe. We launched our first survey in 2010, and since then have built a comprehensive picture of the market trends and needs.  

Our surveys provide independent statistics, crucial in a sector that is increasingly attracting new actors with different impact strategies. Its insights apply to experienced social impact investors, newcomers, policymakers, traditional investors and foundations to gain a broad understanding of trends, gaps, practices and strategies adopted by European investors for impact.
