Oaklins Food & Beverage M&A Update | Q4 2023

M&A market developments and valuation environment in the fourth quarter

Macroeconomic factors such as inflation rates, external supply chain shocks, and changes in consumer purchasing behavior are impacting the majority of business models, shifting the focus more towards operations and less on M&A transactions.

The adaptation to this volatile environment and a partial recovery is reflected in rising valuation levels in some sub-sectors. However, we anticipate a more positive M&A outlook for 2024 with an increased number of transactions.

We are delighted to share our latest F&B Market Update. In our report, we highlight current trends in this market segment and provide insights into transaction and valuation sentiment.

We hope you enjoy reading this report and look forward to discussing the latest developments with you.
