Initial Public Offerings in 2010 is going to reach almost $300 billion globally which is a record exceeding the last biggest IPO Funding Year in 2007.The drivers of the huge growth in IPOs in 2010 are a combination of factors which have come together.Going into 2011,the picture may not be as good as interest rates increase in Europe and other emerging markets.The main drivers of Capital Raising for IPOs has been

1) Near Zero Interest Rates in Developed Countries of USA,Europe and Japan

2) Emerging Market Growth where demand of capital is quite large due to investments in  infrastructure

3) Growing Investment Power of Asian Financial Instituions which emerged relatively unscathed from the Lehman Crisis.

Despite volatility, 2010 is all set to be a record year for IPOs

The amount raised globally from initial public offerings (IPOs) in 2010 is on track to beat any other year on record, according to Ernst & Young , despite waves of market volatility, which disrupted many planned listings. Fuelled by a booming Asian market – which has accounted for 64% of total IPO values – listings raised $255.3 billion in the first 11 months of 2010, and by year-end are expected to top the 2007 peak of $295 billion, it said.
