Rising corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives are projected to support the expansion of the NGOs and charitable organizations market in the coming years. Corporate Social Responsibility refers to the approach through which companies incorporate social and environmental considerations into their operations and stakeholder relationships. More businesses are prioritizing CSR as part of their mission to contribute to social good. In addition, millennials increasingly prefer brands that actively support social causes, which is encouraging companies to increase their CSR spending. For example, in June 2023, Zipdo, a U.S.-based online directory, reported that companies emphasizing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices outperform industry peers by about 4.8% annually. Furthermore, 76% of companies view CSR reporting as a way to mitigate brand reputation risk, and 64% of CEOs consider CSR central to their business strategies. As a result, growing CSR initiatives are expected to positively shape the NGOs and charitable organizations market, supporting its growth over the forecast period.

Government support for non-governmental organizations is also anticipated to drive growth in the NGOs and charitable organizations market. Government funding refers to financial assistance provided by federal, state, or local authorities to individuals, organizations, or projects for specific objectives. Many governments are allocating funds to NGOs to help them deliver effective services. For instance, in July 2023, Donor Tracker - a Germany-based platform analyzing global funding trends - reported that the Australian government increased NGO funding by AUD 30 million (US$21 million) in its 2023-24 budget. This funding aims to strengthen NGO work across sectors such as development, social inclusion, gender equality, and climate initiatives. Consequently, government financial support is contributing to the expansion of the NGOs and charitable organizations market.

Increasing urbanization is expected to stimulate growth in the NGOs and charitable organizations market. Urbanization describes the process in which a rising share of the population relocates from rural regions to urban centers, leading to the development and enlargement of cities. This shift is largely driven by industrialization, which creates jobs, improves infrastructure, and offers better living standards, drawing people to urban areas. NGOs and charitable organizations play an important role in this transition by promoting inclusive urban development, improving access to housing, education, healthcare, infrastructure, and livelihood opportunities for expanding city populations. For example, in December 2024, the non-profit organization Our World in Data reported that by 2050, the global population is expected to reach about 9.8 billion, with nearly 7 billion people residing in urban areas. Therefore, accelerating urbanization is contributing to the growth of the NGOs and charitable organizations market.
