Global RegTech deal activity dropped by 43% YoY
The global RegTech market experienced a notable contraction in 2024, with both funding and deal activity declining compared to the previous year.
Total funding fell to $6.53bn, marking a 36% decrease from the $10.2bn raised in 2023, though it remained close to the $6.8bn recorded in 2020.
The number of deals dropped to 646, reflecting a 43% decline from the 1,142 deals completed in 2023 and a 54% decrease from the 1,403 deals in 2020.
This downturn highlights a cautious investment climate in the RegTech sector, as regulatory compliance solutions continue to attract interest but at a lower intensity than in prior years.
US companies secured 47% of the deals as the country cemented its place as the global RegTech leader in 2024
The United States retained its position as the dominant player in the RegTech market, accounting for 303 deals (47% share) in 2024, though this represented a 47% decline from the 572 deals recorded in 2023.
The United Kingdom followed with 43 deals (7% share), down 54% from 93 deals in the previous year.
India emerged as a key market in 2024, completing 34 deals (5% share) and replacing China, which was among the top three in 2023.
This shift in rankings underscores the evolving landscape of RegTech investment, with India gaining momentum even as overall market activity has slowed.
