Overview

Growing caution slows global M&A activity. Overall global trends show that deal value and volume are down by around 7% and 10% respectively but despite this, 2019 is still set to be the third strongest year to date in terms of value and the fourth strongest in transaction volume for a decade. The market is still hitting historic hights; 2019 stands to be the third highest year by value in a decade.

Looking towards 2020 we will discuss three key trends in this report:

  1. Resurgent megadeals power the market
  2. Domestic deals are dominating
  3. Co-investments and consortium deals are on the rise.
