Exoticca is present in markets including the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Spain, Australia, Colombia and Mexico, and generates more than 75% of its business in North America.

Exoticca has reported sustained growth with an average compounded growth rate of over 100% since 205 and expects to close 2022 with €120 million in revenue. The platform raised a €20 million venture debt financing led by Claret Capital Partners and Sabadell Venture Capital, bringing the company's total funding to €66 million. Proceeds will be used to accelerate growth, increase investment in technology and product, and support expansion into the Americas.
