South Korean IPO Supply Drops 50% to 17 Listings in H1 2026, Yet Investor Demand Improves

According to IR Kudus, South Korea's IPO market saw new listings halve to 17 companies in the first half of 2026, with total fundraising volume also declining. However, demand indicators strengthened, with institutional subscription commitments and retail competition rates both improving. Industry experts attribute the improved metrics to scarcity effects from reduced supply, noting that the sustainability of demand appetite will be tested as IPO activity potentially accelerates in the second half.
