In January of this year, nearly 100 companies submitted applications for initial public offerings (IPOs) on the Hong Kong Exchange, which is three times the number of applications during the same period in 2022.
As a result, 24 companies successfully listed their shares, allowing them to raise over $11 billion — ten times more compared to the same period last year. Interestingly, the amount raised since January has already accounted for more than a quarter of the total IPO volume for the entire year of 2025.
This year, it is expected that more than 450 companies plan to go public on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The most activity will come from companies in sectors such as technology, healthcare, and industry, as well as those involved in artificial intelligence and robotics development.
