BizNexus Roundup

M&A Industry Trends & Outlook 2025

BizNexus Episode 28

DFIN's report analyzes mergers and acquisitions (M&A) industry trends and provides a 2025 outlook. The report notes a recent decline in M&A activity in 2024, primarily due to high interest rates and global economic uncertainty.

However, it predicts a rise in M&A activity in 2025, driven by factors such as decreasing interest rates, increased private equity investment, and the need for digital transformation.

Specific sectors expected to see growth include technology, healthcare, energy, and automotive. The report also highlights the increasing role of AI in M&A processes and the influence of shareholder activism and ESG considerations.
