Global IPO activity has significantly decreased in 2025, affected by U.S. tariffs, increased market volatility, and rising interest rates that have deterred issuers. Data shows a year-on-year drop of 9.3% in global IPO volume to $44.3 billion, marking the lowest level in nine years. While U.S. IPO volumes fell by 12% and Europe by 64%, Asia-Pacific saw a 28% increase. Despite concerns, some analysts anticipate a potential recovery in the second half of the year as certain companies prepare for listings.
