Asian Startup Funding Fell In 2025 But Rose In Q4

In 2025, Asian startup funding experienced a decline, with investors contributing a total of $67.5 billion across various stages, marking a 6% decrease from 2024 and the lowest annual total in five years, according to Crunchbase data.
This downturn in funding is significant as it reflects investor caution amid market volatility and concerns about sustainability in the tech sector, particularly in artificial intelligence and related fields.
Despite the overall decline, there are signs of recovery in specific areas, such as a surge in mergers and acquisitions for unicorn exits and a notable increase in IPO activity in the U.S., indicating a complex landscape where some sectors are rebounding while others struggle.
