M&A Market Update | Q3 2024

Latest market trends, valuation levels and deals

M&A in the consumer goods sector further stabilizes with some signs of recovery

The third quarter showed mixed developments: while consumers' propensity to spend is characterized by uncertainty, it has been positively influenced by falling inflation but negatively impacted by many adverse headlines in the media. Consequently, sectors like food retail and tourism tended to benefit, whereas investments in durable goods, such as electronics, lagged. M&A activity in the consumer and retail sectors increased slightly, indicating a corresponding rise in buying interest. Despite ongoing market uncertainties, opportunities for strategic acquisitions in niche areas remain.

We are delighted to share the latest issue of our Consumer Products M&A Market Update for the third quarter of 2024. In this report, we provide an update on latest industry trends plus insights into valuation levels and recent transactions.

We hope you enjoy the read and look forward to your feedback.
