The global WealthTech sector experienced a significant downturn in 2025, with both funding and deal activity sharply contracting. Despite this challenging landscape, the United States firmly maintained its position as the premier WealthTech hub worldwide.
Global WealthTech Market Faces Steep Correction
In 2025, the global WealthTech market saw a continued decline, extending a trend of sharp corrections observed since 2021. This period marked a sustained reset in investment levels, with capital deployment and transaction volumes remaining significantly below peak cycle levels.
- Global WealthTech deal activity plummeted by 47% year-over-year, recording only 809 deals. This is a stark drop from 1,533 deals in 2024 and an even more dramatic 90% decrease compared to the 7,959 deals reported in 2021.
- Total funding also saw a substantial reduction, falling to $10.8 billion. This represents a 44% decrease from $19.2 billion in 2024 and an overwhelming 92% decline from the $133.8 billion raised in 2021.
US Dominates as Global WealthTech Leader Amidst Contraction
From a geographical standpoint, the United States showcased its enduring leadership in the WealthTech domain during 2025. US-based companies secured 363 deals, accounting for a dominant 45% share of all global transactions. While this figure represents a 37% decrease from the 572 deals recorded in 2024, the US still significantly increased its market share from 37% in the previous year, highlighting a growing concentration of investment within its ecosystem.
Following the US, India emerged as the second-largest WealthTech market with 78 deals, capturing a 10% share. Despite a 19% decline from its 96 deals in 2024, India also saw its global share rise from 6%. The United Kingdom ranked third, securing 74 deals (9% share), a 39% decrease from 121 deals in 2024, yet it too boosted its global share from 8%. This trend across the top three markets suggests a deepening focus of WealthTech investment within these established regions, even as overall deal numbers fell.
India’s Groww Secures Landmark $202.3m Funding Round
Amidst the broader market downturn, Groww, a prominent Indian WealthTech platform, stood out by securing one of the year’s largest private equity funding rounds. The company raised an impressive $202.3 million, with participation from leading investors such as GIC and ICONIQ Capital, valuing the platform at a substantial $7 billion.
This significant capital injection follows a remarkable 3.5x increase in Groww’s valuation since the previous year and positions the company strategically as it prepares for a potential public listing. The funds are earmarked for scaling its core investment platform, expanding the reach of its subsidiaries, and further enhancing its technology-driven solutions for retail investors.
Founded in 2017, Groww demonstrated exceptional financial performance, achieving profitability in FY25 with a profit after tax of $212.1 million. This was driven by a robust 30% jump in operating revenue to $448 million, underscoring the platform’s strong market traction and its solidified position as a leading digital wealth management player in India.
