The year 2021 brought with it a massive surge in the number of unicorn startups globally. This phenomenon also paved way for many companies to go public. Trillions of venture capital dollars were spent on startups over the past decade.
According to Ernst & Young, a record 2,388 firms raised $453 billion while going public in 2021—the highest annual deal volume ever.
Many market experts believe that this trend is likely to increase in the year 2022 as well. As per the list shared by Forbes, the IPO market is bracing for yet another massive year, but it’s unclear whether it will result in a boom or bust.
Here are the companies that are likely to launch their IPOs in the year 2022.
