The global IPO market remained broadly flat in the first half of 2025, with 539 deals raising US$61.4 billion, matching the deal count from the same period last year but posting a notable uptick in proceeds.

However, momentum slowed in the second quarter, which saw only 241 IPOs and US$31.5 billion raised—the weakest second-quarter performance by volume since 2020.

US leads in volume, China tops in proceeds

The United States led all markets with 109 IPOs, its strongest start to a year since the 2021 boom, though total proceeds declined.

Despite the surge in listings, valuations remained elevated, with P/E ratios stable at around 27.

Greater China recorded strong gains, with IPO volumes rising over 30% and proceeds tripling year-on-year, driven by larger offerings and investor appetite.

Hong Kong, in particular, posted a dramatic recovery, emerging as the top global IPO venue by proceeds in H1 2025 after capital outflows plagued the market a year earlier.

India slows, but outlook remains positive

India experienced a 30% drop in IPO volume, though proceeds were largely flat.

Market activity was muted early in the year due to persistent equity volatility.

Nevertheless, a recovery appears to be underway, supported by a healthy pipeline, favourable macro conditions, and strong retail investor participation.

Valuations remain high, comparable to US levels.

Asia-Pacific and the Middle East outperform

South Korea delivered a standout performance with 38 IPOs, its second-best first-half showing in over two decades.

Japan raised US$3.7 billion across 27 deals—the highest proceeds since 2013—boosted by the high-profile listing of JX Advanced Metals.

In ASEAN, Malaysia was the only market to post growth in both volume and proceeds, with 27 IPOs marking a 20-year high.

The Middle East saw solid expansion, led by Saudi Arabia with 25 IPOs—a historic first-half figure for the kingdom—as activity across the region accelerated.

Europe struggles amid volatility

European IPO markets continued to lose ground, with deal volume down 15% and proceeds plunging 58% to US$5.9 billion.

Most major markets saw limited activity following renewed volatility in April.

Sweden was a rare bright spot, benefiting from a major transaction by Asker Healthcare. Overall, investor caution remained elevated, with greater scrutiny on company profitability and resilience.
