A-share IPO pipeline
As of 6 December 2020, there were over 800 active IPO applicants, among which over 49 percent are
seeking to list in the ChiNext board and 28 percent in the STAR Market. These numbers indicate solid
market interest in advanced-technology and innovation IPOs.
We expect TMT and Industrials to continue to be key drivers for the A-share market, as approximately
65 percent of the existing pipeline belongs to these sectors.
Before the ChiNext board reform in June this year, there were around 202 companies seeking a listing on
the board. Out of these companies, over 176 applicants have subsequently converted to the registration-
based new ChiNext board and have resubmitted their applications since June 2020.

Note: All figures are based on a combination of data as at 6 December 2020 and KPMG estimates, unless otherwise stated. STAR market active applicants included suspended
applications (E) which is due to the expiry of their financial information. Historically these applications have been reactivated promptly with updated financial information
being submitted by the listing applicant.
