Solid year
A flat final quarter has capped off a relatively impressive 2023 in terms of overall deal volumes.
In total, 565 growth- and buyout-stage deals were identified in Q4 – down a shade on the previous two quarters – taking the 2023 total to 2,247, 9.4% above FY22.
While that positive note certainly has some mileage, supporting cautious anecdotal predictions of a return to growth in M&A activity during the year ahead, the green shoots of recovery still have to fully push through against various economic and geopolitical headwinds.
Our head of data and research Julian Longhurst takes a look at Q4 2023 dealflow by size bracket, region and sector in our latest Market Tracker.
