Global IPO Market Resilience Amid Economic Challenges
Global IPO Trends in 2024
The ongoing global economic conditions have spotlighted the performance of the IPO market, which has demonstrated remarkable resilience despite prevailing uncertainties. In the first three quarters of 2024, both the Americas and EMEIA regions saw double-digit growth in the number of IPOs and their proceeds, highlighting the contrasting dynamics present in various regions worldwide.
Americas and EMEIA Lead the Charge
Notably, while the global IPO market recorded a 14% decline in year-over-year (YOY) volumes, reaching 310 IPOs with proceeds falling to US$24.9 billion, the Americas and EMEIA showed fortitude. EMEIA's IPO proceeds surged by 45% compared to the same timeframe last year. Such resilience is vital in offsetting the overall trend seen in the global market.
Asia-Pacific Experiences a Turnaround
In the Asia-Pacific region, the third quarter marked a significant recovery, contributing to an 11% quarter-over-quarter (QOQ) rise in global IPO numbers. This recovery was catalyzed by renewed activity in countries such as China, Malaysia, and Indonesia, instilling confidence in investors amid market fluctuations.
Investor Interest in AI and Market Outlook
A fascinating trend within the IPO landscape is the increasing interest in artificial intelligence (AI). Over the last two years, more than 60 AI companies have successfully gone public, with half of them turning profits. Currently, approximately 50 AI companies are in the registration process, signaling just how lucrative this sector has become for investors.
Looking Ahead to Q4 2024
As we look toward the remainder of 2024, the IPO market appears set to thrive despite challenges. Various factors such as central bank policies and geopolitical developments are expected to play influential roles. The anticipation of lower interest rates and easing inflation could provoke a wave of new listings, revitalizing sectors sensitive to borrowing costs.
Restoration of Cross-Border Listings
This year has seen a dramatic increase in cross-border listings, with 77 companies opting to list abroad — a notable 20% increase from last year. Foreign-domiciled issuers accounted for around 52% of IPOs on US exchanges, showcasing the growth in international investment sentiment.
Role of PE and VC Firms in IPO Growth
The continued presence of private equity (PE) and venture capital (VC) firms in the IPO market cannot be understated. Their strategic backing has propelled six of the top 10 global IPOs in the first nine months of 2024, making up over one-third of total global proceeds. In the Americas, these firms accounted for a whopping 52% of total proceeds, reflecting their confidence in the IPO landscape.
Key Statements from Industry Leaders
Contributions from industry leaders emphasize the importance of timing in this volatile market. George Chan, EY Global IPO Leader, highlighted that as inflation and interest rates stabilize, new variables will begin to shape IPO strategies. A clear understanding of market conditions will be key for companies aiming for successful public offerings.
