The Asia-Pacific region saw 575 IPOs totaling 1,98,412.9635 crore, while North America recorded 149 IPOs worth 2,12,645.117 crore.

India's dominance was largely due to a surge in SME IPOs, securing 227 deals valued at 1,02,136.631 crore The US ranked second with 133 IPOs raising 1,93,389.8505 crore, and China followed with 69 IPOs worth 44,370.8315 crore. Both India's SME and mainboard IPO segments contributed to the rise, fueled by strong demand from retail and institutional investors.
