North America and Asia-Pacific were responsible for responsible for the highest-valued unicorn exits in the world as of July 2021. This is due to large IPOs from the likes of Alibaba and Facebook between 2006 and July 2021.Unicorns are private companies that are valued at one billion U.S. dollars or over. If that company subsequently goes public or is acquired, it is no longer referred to as a unicorn. When a unicorn company does one of these two things, it is called an exit. As the leading regions for unicorns, it is unsurprising that the highest number and value of exits as of July 2021 came from North America and Asia-Pacific.
