Texas-Based NinjaOne Clinches Record-Setting Global RegTech Deal in Q1 2025
In the ever-evolving landscape of regulatory technology (RegTech), recent statistics reveal a notable shift in investment trends during the first quarter of 2025. The global RegTech funding has surged by 18% compared to the previous quarter, highlighting a renewed interest in this sector.
Global RegTech Funding Overview
In 2024, the overall global RegTech sector faced a downturn, with total funding amounting to $6.5 billion across 444 deals, a stark contrast to the $20.9 billion raised in 2021 through 1,054 transactions. This decline signifies a shift in investor sentiment, likely influenced by economic uncertainties and a more selective investment strategy.
Q1 2025: A Sign of Recovery
Despite the previous year’s challenges, Q1 2025 demonstrated early signs of recovery, with funding reaching $2.3 billion across 121 deals. This marks an increase from the $1.9 billion raised in Q1 2024, indicating that while the number of deals has decreased, investors are now willing to allocate larger sums to high-potential RegTech firms.
The Dominance of the U.S. Market
The United States has maintained a stronghold in the RegTech space, securing 60% of the top 10 deals in both Q1 2024 and Q1 2025. Notable changes in geographical distribution were observed, as the United Kingdom, Canada, and India fell out of the top rankings while Israel emerged with three significant deals, and Australia made its debut with one.
