In 2024, macroeconomic factors and shifting investor sentiment continued to influence dealmaking, but cautious optimism is emerging as slowing inflation may lead to stabilised interest rates.
Activity levels in Q3/Q4 2023 have remained consistent into 2024, with the lower and mid-market proving more active than the larger/upper market. While the appetite for large platform acquisitions has slowed, bolt-on acquisitions remain a priority for private equity firms, as they focus on consolidating existing investments and leveraging creative deal structures and sector-specific strategies to sustain deal activity.
In the first of our M&A deals insight reports, we offer comprehensive analysis covering mainly lower and mid-market deals, providing valuable insights for both buyers and sellers.
