M&A Boom in 2025: Record Deals & IPOs
Update: 2025-12-23
Description
2025 saw a massive M&A boom, with global deal volume reaching $4.8 trillion, second only to 2021. North America led the charge with $2.6 trillion, a 52% jump from last year. Megadeals over $5 billion fueled the surge, reaching a record 70. Tariffs slowed things down temporarily, but experts predict smoother sailing in 2026. IPOs mirrored the M&A trend, raising $170.6 billion from over 1300 listings. In the Americas, IPO proceeds nearly doubled to $77.9 billion, but a late-year U.S. government shutdown hammered the final quarter. December brought a rush of M&A deals, with $464 billion announced so far, up nearly a third from last year.
