M&A mid-market trends report 2025
Market trends: The M&A landscape is evolving rapidly. Most listed and large companies are now active in mid-market M&A and are professionalising their capabilities. Mid-market companies are becoming more active, with many new entrants recognising the attractiveness of this segment due to: 1) its large number of companies, 2) the financial and operational optimisation opportunities, and 3) the ability to participate on both the buy-side and sell-side. Demand for investment opportunities is high, and sellers can expect multiple serious buyers. Factors such as industry convergence, the demand for ESG and DEI, and economic volatility are diversifying M&A objectives and deal structures. Additionally, the rise of search funds is notable, with more entrepreneurs becoming first-time CEOs by acquiring established businesses through the ETA model, offering a quicker and less risky path to business ownership.
