Aurojyoti Bose, Lead Analyst at GlobalData, said: “Global investor sentiment has been impacted by various factors such as macroeconomic challenges, geopolitical tensions, and market uncertainties. The decline in VC deal volume across all funding size categories, including low value transactions, underscores the vulnerability of the APAC region to these influences.”
Despite the downturn, low value deals maintained their dominance in the APAC VC funding scene, comprising approximately one-third of the total deal volume. These transactions represented 65% of all disclosed funding value VC deals announced in the region in 2023.
Meanwhile, high value VC deals accounted for 3% share, whereas mid-size VC deals’ share stood at 32% during the year.
