Oaklins M&A Market Report H1 2022
A detailed analysis of the M&A market H1 2022 with German counterparts
The economic and political situation has become more challenging since the beginning of the year - but both strategic and financial investors still know how to use M&A specifically as a strategic instrument!
The macroeconomic environment has fundamentally changed since the beginning of the year: Disruption in global supply chains, rising energy prices, interest rates and inflation, as well as the downturn in global equity markets are taking their toll on the economy. Nevertheless, we saw only a small weak year-over-year decline in M&A activity (-4.6%) during the first half of 2022, and even an impressive 12.3% increase in transaction activity compared to the pre-COVID-19 level of H1 2019.
Find out about the top 30 deals, the hottest sectors, the top countries where German companies have completed transactions and why the share of private equity deals has decreased for the first time since many years.
We hope you enjoy reading it and look forward to getting in touch with you.
