Size of SPAC IPOs and mergers globally 2019-2021

Published by Jennifer Rudden, May 7, 2021
February 2021 was a record month for both SPAC IPOs and SPAC mergers. SPACs, or special purpose acquisition companies, are public companies which raise money and then aim to merge with a private company, thus taking the target company public in the process. The value of SPAC IPOs reached 35.3 billion U.S. dollars in February 2021 and SPAC mergers were valued at 117 billion U.S. dollars. As of that month, only one third of SPAC merger deals announced in the United States had been completed.
