Key Global RegTech investment stats in 2025:

  • Global RegTech deal activity grew by 14% YoY
  • US firms dominated the global RegTech marketplace completing over half of all deals in 2025
  • Cybereason, a leading global cybersecurity company known for its advanced endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions and expert consulting services, secured one of the top RegTech deals of the year with a $120m funding round

Global RegTech deal activity grew by 14% YoY

The global RegTech market experienced a notable contraction between 2021 and 2024, followed by a recovery in 2025.

Total funding fell to $6.5bn in 2024, representing a 69% decrease from the $20.9bn recorded in 2021, while deal activity declined by 60% from 1,608 to 645 transactions over the same period.

However, the market rebounded in 2025, with funding increasing by 31% to $8.5bn and deal volume rising by 14% to 736 deals.

Despite this improvement, both funding and deal activity remained significantly below 2021 levels, indicating that while investor confidence has partially returned, the sector has not yet fully recovered to its previous peak.

US firms dominated the global RegTech marketplace completing over half of all deals in 2025

The US continued to dominate global RegTech activity in 2025, recording 381 deals and accounting for 52% of total transactions, up from 303 deals and a 47% share in 2024, reflecting a 26% increase in deal volume.

The UK followed with 45 deals (6% share), marking a modest 5% increase from 43 deals in 2024, though its overall share declined slightly.

Israel and India each recorded 29 deals (4% share), with India declining by 15% from 34 deals in 2024, while Israel emerged as a new entrant among the top markets.

Overall, while the leading countries maintained their positions, the increase in the US share highlights a growing concentration of RegTech investment activity despite the broader market recovery.

Cybereason, a leading global cybersecurity company known for its advanced endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions and expert consulting services, secured one of the top RegTech deals of the year with a $120m funding round
