European RegTech deal activity increased by 9% in H1 2025
In H1 2025, the European RegTech industry recorded steady deal activity alongside a moderate rise in funding.
The sector secured $398.7m across 84 deals, representing a 10% increase in capital raised compared to the $361.6m achieved in H1 2024, and a 10% rise from the $361.9m recorded in H2 2024.
Deal volume was broadly unchanged year-on-year, falling by just 1% from the 85 deals in H1 2024, but slightly higher than the 77 deals in H2 2024, reflecting a 9% increase.
These figures point to a stabilising market, with a modest uptick in investor appetite after a flat 2024.
UK companies secured 27% of all deals to cement the country’s place as the main European RegTech hub in the first six month period
UK maintained its position as the leading European RegTech market in H1 2025, completing 23 deals (27% share), up 10% from the 21 deals in H1 2024.
Germany ranked second with 9 deals (11% share), a 13% increase from the 8 deals recorded in the same period last year.
The Netherlands entered the top three with 7 deals (8% share), replacing France, which had 12 deals (14% share) in H1 2024.
The growth in activity from the UK and Germany, coupled with the Netherlands’ emergence, indicates a gradual shift in the distribution of RegTech investment across the region.
