In an impressive turnaround, Hong Kong has secured its position as the global leader in IPO fundraising during the opening half of 2025. A staggering $13.9 billion was raised through IPOs and secondary listings, surpassing the totals of prime U.S. exchanges like Nasdaq and NYSE.
The enthusiasm is palpable: over 200 companies filed for listings, with June alone welcoming 75 new applications, smashing previous records. Big names—like CATL and Jiangsu Hengrui—led the wave, and Shein is expected to join them through a dual A-to-H listing strategy.
What’s behind this rebound? A dynamic blend of surging equity activity, inbound international capital—particularly from mainland China—and Hong Kong’s more flexible, internationally friendly listing structure. The exchange also rolled out additional support for tech and biotech firms, signaling its readiness to host the next generation of growth companies.
Amid rising geopolitical uncertainty and firms seeking stable access to global capital, Hong Kong has reaffirmed its stature as a premier launchpad for international listings and fundraising.
