PitchBook Expands Coverage in Asia with New Report on Greater China Venture Capital ActivitySEATTLE, Aug. 31, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- PitchBook, the premier data provider for the private and public equity markets, today announced the release of a new bi-annual report on Greater China venture activity that showed VC financings within the region have drastically increased since 2015 as disruptive startups and investors continue to rapidly develop businesses despite regulatory uncertainty. PitchBook's Institutional Research Group found annual investment in Greater China is on pace to significantly grow year-over-year and could exceed $100 billion by year's end – only the second time on record following the last high-water mark of $129.1 billion in 2018. Exit opportunities appear strong as well heading into the second half of the year, with annual exit value on pace to reach new highs. That said, recent scrutiny and new legislation from Chinese regulators could be a headwind for companies attempting to list on overseas stock exchanges. For now, the ecosystem is generating sufficient exits to continue its rapid growth trajectory. To download PitchBook's Greater China Venture report, click here.
