Asian FinTech funding dropped by 16% in 2025
In 2025, the Asian FinTech sector recorded a notable year-on-year decline in both deal volume and total funding.
The year closed with 454 deals, marking a 31% drop from the 657 funding rounds recorded in 2024 and an 82% decline from the 2,565 deals seen in 2021.
Total funding in 2025 amounted to $8.2bn, representing a 16% decrease from the $9.8bn raised in 2024 and an 89% drop from the $72.6bn recorded in 2021.
The average deal size in 2025 reached $18.2m, rising from $14.9m in 2024 but remaining below the $28.3m average seen in 2021.
Deals over $100m declined by 92% amid market uncertainty
Funding from deals under $100m reached $4.3bn in 2025, down 30% from the $6.2bn recorded in 2024 and representing an 82% decline from the $24.6bn raised in 2021.
Larger deals valued at $100m or more accounted for $3.9bn in 2025, marking an 8% increase from the $3.6bn raised in 2024 but a steep 92% drop from the $48bn recorded in 2021.
Despite the overall contraction in funding, the rise in capital deployed through deals above $100m compared with 2024 indicates that a smaller number of high-value transactions continued to underpin a significant share of total investment.
