PE/VC bets grow 5% to $56B in 2024, current year to be challenging: Report

Investments by private equity and venture capital grew 5% to $56 billion in 2024 following two years of decline, according to a report by IVCA and EY. The year saw a 54% increase in deal volumes, primarily due to a surge in credit deals. However, a challenging 2025 is anticipated due to potential global policy impacts and slowing Indian consumption. There was a 34% decline in new fundraises, while exit deals totaled $26.7 billion, aided by capital market conditions.

India's quick-commerce sector dominated e-grocery orders in 2024, capturing two-thirds of the market and growing to $6-7 billion, according to a Bain and Flipkart report.
