German WealthTech investments dropped by 70% in 2024 YoY
In 2024, the German WealthTech sector experienced a significant decline in both deal activity and total funding compared to the previous year, reflecting a more challenging investment environment.
A total of 28 deals were recorded in 2024, marking an 82% decrease from the 154 deals completed in 2023.
Total funding also saw a sharp contraction, with German WealthTech firms raising $362m in 2024—a 70% drop from the $1,204m raised in 2023.
This represents a substantial pullback in capital commitments, as investors have become increasingly cautious amidst economic uncertainty and shifting regulatory conditions.
Average deal value dropped to $12.9m as investors grow cautious
The average deal value in 2024 was $12.9m, a 10% decrease from the $13.7m average in 2023.
Although deal sizes have remained relatively stable, the steep decline in overall deal volume suggests that investors are focusing on a select few firms, potentially those with more established business models or innovative solutions that align with evolving market demands.
Compared to 2020, when the sector raised $881m across 171 deals, the downturn in 2024 highlights the volatility of the investment landscape in the WealthTech space.
While the sector had seen a surge in funding between 2020 and 2023, the current market correction underscores the increased scrutiny from investors and a preference for more measured capital deployment.
As German WealthTech firms navigate this downturn, securing investment may require a stronger emphasis on profitability, differentiated product offerings, and alignment with long-term industry trends such as digital wealth management, AI-driven financial planning, and regulatory compliance solutions.
